Pakistan hurt by killing of Christians-church head

LONDON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The death of eight Christians burnt alive in clashes with majority Muslims has diminished Pakistan and injured the Muslim faith, the spiritual head of the world's 77 million Anglicans said on Tuesday.

Four women and a child were among those killed in the violence which broke out in Punjab province, central Pakistan, on Saturday, after Muslims torched Christians' homes following allegations one had desecrated the Koran. [ID:nISL424142]

Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury and spiritual head of the Anglican church, called on the Pakistan government to protect the "small and vulnerable" Christian minority.

"The recent atrocities against Christians in Pakistan will sear the imaginations of countless people of all faiths throughout the world," he said in a statement.

"As the minister of law in the Punjab has already said, such actions are not the work of true Muslims: they are an abuse of real faith and an injury to its reputation as well as an outrage against common humanity, and deserve forthright condemnation.

"Those of us who love Pakistan and its people, whatever their faith, feel that the whole country is injured and diminished by the violence that has occurred."

Pope Benedict has said he was "deeply grieved" by the killings and has sent his condolences to Pakistani Christians.

A senior Pakistan government official said on Tuesday Islamist militants from groups linked to al Qaeda and the Taliban were suspected of being behind the mob violence in which 40 homes were burnt. [nISL458368]

Pakistan is a predominantly Muslim country and religious minorities, including Christians, account for about 4 percent of the 170 million population.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said Christians needed to be assured they lived in a "just and peaceful society".

"They are disproportionately affected by the draconian laws against blasphemy, which in recent years have frequently been abused in order to settle local and personal grievances," he said. (Additional reporting by Augustine Anthony and Zeeshan Haider in Islamabad; editing by Robin Pomeroy)

What I'm trying to understand is why it matters what religious affiliation the people on either side were. They should be focusing on the deaths of the people and what caused them to be killed, not what religion they were. Leave it to religions to use the death of another to champion their cause.

Christians and Muslims have been killing each other for quite a long time now, so why should this be anything new or controversial? I see it as more fearmongering and attempts to gain popularity. It's same thing that has been going on for several hundred years, yet many won't realize this.

Thanks for posting this.

True, if it did then it could cause more harm than good. While I don't personally have a lot of love for religion, it's not entirely bad. There are some good people who do practice. It does seem like they're trying to create a one world everything.

Islam is being given the red carpet treatment. And Mosques are being built all over. even some Churches are being converted into Mosques.

The biggest Mosque in Europe is planning to be built right next to the Olympic Stadium in Londonistan erm I mean London (doesn't that say it all) Shariah banks Shariah laws courts, Muslim only schools. (where the Koran takes priority over any other subjects in some instances)

There estimated to be 1000 - 1500 Mosques in Britain, Money from Saudi Sunni Wahhabi and their preachers are sent here. Religion has protection and special perks/privileges (government Tax payers money) "Muslim only Koranic schools".

Shariah law courts (most are not monitered proceedings take place in Mosques) - "Polygamy" is legal for a "Muslim" but "illegal" for "none" Muslims.
Immigration. Legal and illegal are mostly Muslims.

Islam is against abortion and contraception is to increase their numbers, Polygamy is another way they do this. Now you know why Islam is the fastest growing religion.

Guess they neither allow vasectomys, or choice of celibacy, their only aim is to breed breed breed.

Tptb are allowing mass immigration into Britain/Europe which is genocide on the indigenous people by out breeding them, the genocide is aimed at the white race. All other races around the world their numbers are growing far faster by percentage in their own lands.

And in most cases Muslims are just 3-4% of the population - but they are saying at this early stage - we are going to take you over.
This is a myth.
Any analysis of this country shows that there are millions more.
Whole Islamic schools and over 300 state schools where the numbers are over 90% ethnic - which means mainly muslim.
Just look around town by town and you can see that the percentage is far higher.
Look at the ethnicity and religion of new mothers.
Some years ago the muslims themselves were claiming 6 million in the country - that alone is 10% of the population. Since then mass immigration by muslims has continued unabated and their birthrate far far exceeds the indigenous population.
Like in Kosovo we are being gradually overtaken by ‘muslim creep’.
How long before they claim their first ’state’ on the basis of majority. Sharia is being secretly introduced on a widespread basis.
We are being systematically ethnically cleansed, street by street, suburb by suburb, and soon town by town.
They are using our democracy against us by legal and illegal voting not least in marginal seats which explains why the craven Dave is sucking up to the ethnic vote just as sickeningly as Brown.
Don’t be complacent with your ‘only 3/4%. Tell that to the people of Serbia, Holland and other nations. Tell that to the indigenous folk of cities and towns across the UK.

Yes but also
Nope. Invade convert or die, that's Islam. I could post hundreds of separate incidents like this one, happening Today all over the Planet. Not many will even bother to look into it.

What have I got to lie about? The truth should be known I don't wanna live under no Sharia. Go read my link see what happens in a Muslim majority country to the none Muslims. Stalin or any other dictators where pussy cats compared to Mohammed and cos legacys.)

I like that, Yes but also nope. I am enclined to agree with you, it's not all divide and conquer, there are plenty of muslim Fundamentalist out there, actually on a mission to convert the whole planet to islam. I have a copy of the koran BTW, English translated (no I'm not a muslim) It was given to me a few years ago.

Its christianity that does not allow abortion and contraception.
