Girl, 11, Could Face Death In Pakistan For 'Blasphemy'
ABC News via Yahoo ^ | 21 Aug 2012 | Muhammad Lila

To some, she's an innocent victim, an apparently mentally challenged Christian girl swept up by a rising tide of irrational Islamic extremism. To others, she's God's enemy, guilty of a crime so vile the only suitable punishment is death.

On Monday, Pakistani police arrested the girl, known only by her first name, Ramsha, after accusations that she burned pages of the Koran, Islam's holy book. In Pakistan, it is a crime to utter derogatory statements or insult the Prophet Muhammad or the Koran in any way. Blasphemy convictions carry an automatic death sentence.

On Monday, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland referred to the case as "deeply disturbing."

"We urge the government of Pakistan to protect not just its religious minority citizens, but also women and girls," she said.

I was beginning to think we may pull our foreign aid money. However, we're pulling out the big guns by having a low-level US official "urge" them.

That'll show 'em.

If I were Satan, and I wanted to create a ‘religion’ that would screw up people’s minds to the maximum possible, I’d invent Islam..............

Mat 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

Man's responsible for social justice on earth. But there are times when God's intervention is welcomed and sorely needed.

The only way a person can tolerate the putrid stench of rotting intellect we label “Islam” is to be either flat-out ignorant or foully evil.

"At the age of forty, Mohammed proclaimed himself a prophet. Being subject to violent epileptic seizures, or fits, he turned them to his advantage by making his ignorant followers believe they were caused by the visits of an angel, who came to teach him, and whose presence threw him into trances and convulsions....

John Foxe had it right regarding Islam.

My thoughts exactly. This makes me sick. My family daughter is 11. She is getting ready to start middle school and see her friends. That is what this
Little girl should be doing, not facing death for being human (a female human). Yes, Islam is the devils religion.

Ah the religion of peace strikes again. The Pakis want to hang an eleven year old mentally retarded girl for “blasphemy”, the Muslim Brotherhood is crucifying dissenters in Egypt, the Saudi’s are decapitating “witches”, in the UK and even in the US family members are committing “honor killings” of daughters who dared to have sex with or even date “infidels” and in Iran the hanging of people for daring to have another religion or “defy” Islam is common place. Isn’t it great that we welcome Muslims into the US and kowtow to any of their demands least we “offend” their religion while in the name of that same religion barbarities are committed every day.

Islam is such a wonderful religious political system that is full of lessons of tolerance and forgiveness, WRONG! Islam is about the destruction and domination of others hence Islam means submit, or die.

If we had done things right in Afghanistan Christians would make of 20 percent of the population by now. Instead, we implemented a constitution that states that Sharia is the highest law of the land. 377th FA Regt., Khowst Prov., Afghanistan
