Re: Muslim clerics urge fairness for Rimsha Masih
A very interesting incident in Islamic hostory... bet ya mullas foaming at mouth never heard of any such thing, but ofcouse then the fundoos have never read history either so how could they have.
In 628 AD, a delegation from St. Catherine’s Monastery came to Prophet Muhammed and requested his protection. He responded by granting them a charter of rights, which I reproduce below in its entirety. St. Catherine’s Monastery is located at the foot of Mt. Sinai and is the world’s oldest monastery. It possess a huge collection of Christian manuscripts, second only to the Vatican, and is a world heritage site. It also boasts the oldest collection of Christian icons. It is a treasure house of Christian history that has remained safe for 1400 years under Muslim protection.
The Promise to St. Catherine: "This is a message from Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, near and far, we are with them.
Verily I, the servants, the helpers, and my followers defend them, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be removed from their jobs nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate.
No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray. Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants.
No one of the nation (Muslims) is to disobey the covenant till the Last Day (end of the world)."

At least you should have included the source and link to your post and not act as if you wrote the post from your mind.
You have posted over 2K so far and should know better than to act like the disciple of S*r*g*m********. ;)
Isn’t he the same guy that is part of the esteemed DPC (Difa E Pakistan Council). The banner where a lot of the murderers, terrorists and company unite? We can’t behave like crocodiles and cry over spilled milk and broken eggs when the need arises, and carry on with our day job (which quite often happens to spread religious chaos throughout the country) at other.
On the house, of course!
I may cure cancer or any other lethal disease in the future, but that does not give me the free pass to start doing anything I see fit. Good should be good, bad should be bad. There are many people that tread the gray area (most of us), but to call something good as bad, and vice versa isn’t something I’ve learned.
A zealot can much more as easily be mistaken for fanatic. Someone that wants to impose their ideas and ideology upon others at any and all costs, violent included. A devout for me is a totally different word, you can be a devout good guy, having faith, caring for others, believe in other people, which is always great. Or you can be a devout terrorist and slaughter people left and right. Worse yet, you can be devout munafiq - the type we have quite a few here in Pakistan.
That earlier bit was a mistake, as I typed everything in a hurry. But as for my dislike for evil and hateful stuff, that still stands. These two things are not connected really.
Nevertheless, I still would object to being photographed with people like these. And it’s just not photographs, Tahir Ashrafi is a full-on supporter of religious parties. Even if you give most of these parties, the benefit of the doubt, there are many bad eggs that have crept into these organizations and use these platforms for their agendas.
But being associated with banned organizations and terror groups doesn’t give me much hope. That is why I said first drop of rain or the only drop of rain. Anyway, what he said in this instance is good, not many speak publicly against the misuse of the law. Then again, Tahir Ashrafi’s resume doesn’t fill me with much confidence. That was my point.
We need to control things like these before they get out of hand (that is, if they haven’t already). Hypothetically speaking, what if the mob or anyone else for that matter killed the girl before she was put in prison. Anyway, news is that she is to be kept in jail for another 14 days, probably to cool things down. Let’s just hope no innocent life is lost in this case.
