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?
