This story is another example of how stoop Muslims can go to tarnish the image of non-Muslims in Pakistan.  A teenager non-Muslim girl who is medically declared as incapable of doing such things was charged with a crime of burning the Koran in Pakistan.  She was arrested and put behind bar.  As luck would have it, the cleric who actually placed the Koran pages in the fire to frame this girl and get rid of Christians in his neighborhood was caught doing this heinous act by his friend who came forward and got this mischievous cleric arrested.  First of all, in my opinion, this cleric has no spiritual knowledge of Islam or any other religion.  Islam, like other religions,  teaches love and affection for others.  Those who have even an iota of spiritual background would not dare to do such an act.  This incident also proves that there is something wrong with the criterion of selecting these clerics.  When these clerics themselves are misguided how can one expect them to impart spiritual discourses predicated on true Islam.  Secondly, the world did not hear any voice from the Muslim countries, including Pakistan, against this insane act.  One wonders where are the Mullahs, Imams and the rest of the moderate Muslim community?  Are they playing deaf and dumb?  Their silence on this subject conveys only one message to the civilized society and i.e. that this act has their blessings too.  What a shame?  One also wonders had there been a Muslim girl treated the same way by either Christians, Hindus or Jews priest, what type of hue and cry the whole civilized world would have witnessed - not to talk of destruction of public property.  One can easily conclude that the Muslim community is leading a double-faced life and now it is up to the non-Muslims to act accordingly.  IS THE CIVILIZED NON-MUSLIM WORLD LISTENING?
