Pakistan disabled girl arrested for blasphemy

Pakistani police have arrested a mentally disabled 11-year-old girl after a mob accused her of desecrating pages of the Koran.

The mob demanded the Christian girl's arrest and threatened to burn down Christian homes outside the capital Islamabad, local media say.

Officials said the girl could not properly answer police questions.

Her parents have been taken into protective custody following threats and other Christian families have fled.

It is thought that the girl has Down's syndrome.

Paul Bhatti, Pakistan's minister for National Harmony, told the BBC that the girl was known to have a mental disorder and that it seemed "unlikely she purposefully desecrated the Koran".

"From the reports I have seen, she was found carrying a waste bag which also had pages of the Koran," he said.

"This infuriated some local people and a large crowd gathered to demand action against her. The police were initially reluctant to arrest her, but they came under a lot of pressure from a very large crowd, who were threatening to burn down Christian homes."

He said more than 600 people have fled from the Christian neighbourhood.

Rights activists have urged Pakistan to reform its controversial blasphemy laws, under which a person can be jailed for life for desecrating the Koran.

Many of those accused of blasphemy have been killed by violent mobs, while politicians who advocate a change in legislation have also been targeted.

Last year, Shahbaz Bhatti, the minister for minority affairs, was killed after calling for the repeal of the blasphemy law.

His death came just two months after the murder of Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, who also spoke out about the issue.

They do have jobs, protecting the "sanctity" of their good, book and prophet even if it means beating a child with down syndrome and asking for her death.

Muslims are so insecure about their bullshyt beliefs that a girl with down syndrome is a threat to their social structure?

u only gotta use force/violence when ur all out of logic and reason





anyway, the positive thing about this is that the entire world gets to once again see how barbaric and irrational this religion and all religion is.

Raheem [lawyer for complainant] said he had taken on the case for free because he was convinced that Masih should be punished. "This girl is guilty. If the state overrides the court, then God will get a person to do the job," he said.

Later, sitting in his office beneath a large poster of Qadri [who assassinated Governor Salman Taseer last year], Raheem told the Guardian: "If the court is not allowed to do its work, because the state is helping the accused, then the public has no other option except to take the law into their own hands."

the western world has its many issues that I have problems with but damn. I am so much more appreciative of the fact that I was born where I was born now. Could be a lot worse.

I truly feel for people that just "happen" to be born over there. Its truly tragic. I hope that their backwards way of life never becomes the norm for us over here. I'd kill myself if that were to happen, real talk

I'll never understand why U.S born citizens would willingly want to assimilate their way of life and fashion. Even hardcore muslims over here would be if that shyt were to really happen. U nikkas love ur hiphop and weed too much
