Pakistan: Muslim mob burns alive man accused of desecrating Qur'an

Try not to be so ethnocentric. Be more like Michael Potemra of National Review, who wrote: "The Koran is one of the loveliest books ever written, a distillation of monotheism that is full of spiritual wisdom, and I never fail to profit from my reading of it." It's understandable that the pious would want to incinerate anyone even suspected of desecrating one of the loveliest books ever written, now, isn't it?

"Pakistan mob burns man accused of desecrating Quran alive," from Reuters, December 22 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Hyderabad (Pakistan): A mob broke into a Pakistani police station and burnt a man accused of desecrating the Quran alive, police said Saturday, in the latest violence focusing attention on the country's blasphemy laws.

The man was a traveller and had spent Thursday night at the mosque, said Maulvi Memon, the imam in the southern village of Seeta in Sindh province. The charred remains of the Quran were found the next morning.

"He was alone in the mosque during the night," Memon said. "There was no one else there to do this terrible thing."

Villagers beat the man then handed him over to police. A few hours later, a crowd of around 200 stormed the police station, dragged the man out and set him on fire, said Usman Ghani, the senior superintendent of police in Dadu district.

Ghani said around 30 people had been arrested for the murder and seven police detained for negligence.

At least 53 people have been killed in Pakistan since 1990 after being accused of blasphemy, according to the Center for Research and Security Studies, and accusations are becoming more frequent.

Blasphemy in Pakistan is punishable by death but it is not specifically defined by law. During court cases, lawyers often do not wish to repeat evidence against the accused for fear of being blasphemous themselves.

People have been arrested for just discussing or writing about Islam, making mistakes in homework or not joining protests against a film insulting Islam. In some cases, the accusers have had financial disputes with those who are accused....

"Mob in Pakistan sets mentally unstable man on fire after he was accused of burning Koran."


http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/12/22/mob-in-pakistan-kills-man-accused-burning-koran/

I just hope no one calls them "savages" or some other hateful term. That would be a crime....

This is great!! It’s December 22nd, the world ended yesterday, I disposed of all worldly stuff and I’m standing on the sidewalk with a Turkish towel as a turban (just in case) waiting to be beamed up to Paradise. Hope to see y’all there!

Yeah, sold off the headshop for a song to some rube hoping to score bigtime with a line of koranic rolling papers. Script Arabic watermarks are supposed to be authentic scripture, and he went accross the street to the mosque to verify this, leaving me with the deposit money. Boy, is he a fool.

Of course, I'm the one standing naked and homeless on the sidewalk in December with a towel on my head. Go figure.

A 'critic' of literature or whatever he's an 'expert' in, will create their own self deception scenario whereby they annoint, and make beautiful something others clearly would be horrified with.
That 'dhimmis' through out the 1450 yrs, have tried in vain to 'see' the beauty and call it something other than what Islam's actions have made and will make it, is revolting and and this point... a hideous denial of fact, and pure fiction.

One could read the proclamations of the soviet union that all citizens will be equal, etc etc, and view what that actuality was to see the historical reality rather than the 'beauty' of sentiment.

One could read the proclamations of Mein Kampf and feel passages that might seem to be full of love of the 'people' of germany and the pride and hope... but the monstrous slaughters of history should have removed from a reasonble person's mind any such illusions.

As for Islam....imagine a crowd of jews burning someone alive for disrespecting the Torah. Never happened and never will. Imagine a Christian, burning alive someone for disrespecting the New Testament. and yes they did, once upon a time.... but that same religion hasn't and doesn't do anything like that, and would in it's entirety, in horror defend others rights to live even if against it's principles. Same with Buddhists, Hindus.
But Islam, now, as then, grows with it's fangs as the leading edge, because for Mohammad, the fangs, the Jihad of Death to all who refuse to submit was and is the clarion call and the prime motive for Islam.

For a 'critic' to find lovely beautiful passages demonstrates the disconnection of beauty from reality. Ever read or hear a pedophile or molester speak of the 'beauty' they behold and their claims to such as equal to others 'love'... well that's what this reviewer did in his piece.

He ignored all the evidence- not cherry picked outrages- but the run of the mill, majority events and actions evidenced by that book and that
prophet with no prophecy- except submission for all as his goal.

There's a fancy phrase for that reviewer, for his exclamations about the Koran being one of the loveliest books ever written- it having caused 20,000 plus Jihad attacks with slaughters of innumerable innocents- beheadins, rapings, slaughter of children, women, on and on and on with the call to heavenly reward for slaughtering unbelievers, just since 9/11. And of course it's 270 plus millions murdered over the 1400 yrs.

Michael Potemra of National Review, should be told bluntly and pointedly that his statement that the Koran is one of the 'loveliest books ever written' just this:

What Cark!

'Off with their heads', says the Red Queen...
'I just love monotheism and spiritual wisdom in the morning...Lashings, stoning's, amputations,
crucifixions...How sweet it is...How do I know? The Quran tells me so...


"Pakistan mob burns man accused of desecrating Quran alive"

Huh?

Can you desecrate a dead Quran?

How long does it take to desecrate it to death?


;/

The Imam probably did something to him that he did not want others to know about.

Accused of homosexuality, three young men were burned alive by Muslim vermins.

Ladislas Farago wrote a book called Palestine at the Crossroads about Palestine in the 30s. One of the many anecdotes he tells is about a imam who damaged Korans showed the damaged Korans to his people and then accused the British of having damaged them.

I noticed that, too !

Pakistan: Muslim mob burns alive man accused of desecrating Qur'an
......................

**Unspeakable savagery**. And all in the name of Islam.

More:

Hyderabad (Pakistan): A mob broke into a Pakistani police station and burnt a man accused of desecrating the Quran alive, police said Saturday, in the latest violence focusing attention on the country's blasphemy laws.
......................

Perfectly acceptable Shari'ah. If the Islamic state doesn't act quickly enough, the Muslim mob may murder the accused.

More:

The man was a traveller and had spent Thursday night at the mosque, said Maulvi Memon, the imam in the southern village of Seeta in Sindh province. The charred remains of the Quran were found the next morning.

"He was alone in the mosque during the night," Memon said. "There was no one else there to do this terrible thing."
......................

And the mob just took the word of this pious Imam...

Of course, the Imam may have robbed the man, or worse...

More:

People have been arrested for just discussing or writing about Islam, making mistakes in homework or not joining protests against a film insulting Islam. In some cases, the accusers have had financial disputes with those who are accused....
......................

That's right. Accusing someone of "blaspehmy" has become a lovely way of seizing someone's business, property, or even their marriageab le daughters...

Yeah, what crap. Not only is the Qur'an a hideous book—violent, repetitive, irrational—but it would hardly matter in this case if it really were "lovely".

I love the poetry of Emily Dickinson—but It wouldn't occur to me to burn someone to death who had a difference of opinion on the matter.

But then, that's the whole point, isn't it? If the Qur'an really were lovely and wise, it is unlikely that Muslims would feel compelled to murder people in its name.
