Angry Muslims tore the pages of this bible.

Here’s a copy (in Urdu) of the complaint filed against Mohammed Habib Bhatti and 8 unknown perpetrators:

An unfortunate case if true ---- But I cant immediately decide based on the source as evangelists are no saints themselves.

Once again friends, look at the power relations, look at how extremist ideas ( basically so called Muslims) act to serve the interests of a particular socio-economic group (OK, class, happy?) in the Punjab (5 waters) province.

Since this socio-economic group is by no means reflective of the interests of any majority, how is it that it's actions can go pretty much unchallenged?

Look at which socio-economic group the so called "rulers" and government administrators and the top brass of the enforcers, are from and how their interests intersect with those who advance extremists ideas in society.

Unfortunate indeed. These religious bigots have no idea how idea how embarassing their actions are for their country. Its really sad such freaks steal the headlines.
India also has suffered a lot because of such clowns.

 

[muse]

These religious bigots

But note that the lead article of the thread suggests that the motivation is economic - not "religious" in any way -- so what's going on is the use of "religious extremism" as a cover for theft, larceny, vandalism.

 

[flameboard]

It was definitely a bunch of morons. Technically since the Bible is the book of God it requires as much respect as the Quran.

People should realize that there are people in Pakistan calming to be Muslims and demolishing mosques we have a problem as humans.

 

[JonAsad]

For economic purposes, i think buldozing Religious places is Ok, and acceptable by Civilized world.

For Example

Tubas Mosque Razed by Israeli Occupation Government Bulldozers

Just 3 days old news, For this, no cry no extremism, bigot words are used, so let it be in our case aswell.

 

[muse]

So if a Israeli creates mayhem, it is excuse for Pakistanis to rob other Pakistanis -- Wah, such extraordinary powers of reason, such logic - but then Wahabi effected cannot be blamed, they are carriers and spreaders of contagion

 

[Enigma]

Every country has its own share of brainwashed morons.

 

[Yeti]

wahhabi ideology is like a cancer in pakistan I can't believe some people think its ok to demolish a church for economic reasons then give Israel as a excuse.

Yeah just because of my flag isnt it? This is not the first time you termed me a wahabi,
You are a classic example of a religious bigot, perhaps look in the mirror yourelf to see the same intolerence in your self you brag about in evey post of yours.

Your hatred towards wahabis can be compared to shia/sunni/ or ahmedi/muslim conflicts, muslim/christian .. muslim/jews not much different you are as you claim to be.
and i am not a wahabi.

Masjids, mandirs or churches, if bulldozed for development purposes is alright, happens every where, dont know what the fuss is about.

No need to reply Bigot Think Tank.

No it dont happen everywhere what planet do u come from?

 

[Devil Soul]

its more of a land grabbing issue than a religious one .. the same people who vandalized this church will not hesitate in bulldozing a muslim home or even a Majsid for their financial & personal gains .....

Justice must be done, Church must be rebuilt & the cost must be paid by these idiots ....

Btw i've seen with my own eyes Municipal worker bulldozing a Masjid build on Gov property..

 

[JonAsad]

No it dont happen everywhere what planet do u come from?

specify what did not?

 

[Yeti]

specify what did not?

Im saying churches, mosque, temples are not bulldozed unless they have been constructed illegally then the case might be diffrent. But i never heard a mosque or church being destroyed in the west like this or in fact even in middle east
