Radicals Call for Execution of Pakistani Supreme Court Justices


After sitting on death row for eight years, the Pakistani Supreme Court acquitted her on the basis that she had not violated Sharia Law.  Unfortunately, her ordeal is not over, nor is the ordeal of many others.  Asia Bibi's lawyer, Saif Mulook has had to flee the country out of fear for his life.  Others are not so lucky.  Throughout the nation radical leaders like Khadim Hussain Rivzi (featured left) are rallying mobs that are now attacking Christians in the streets.  

 However, for the radicals, targeting Christians is not enough.  They're now calling or the murder of the Pakistani Supreme Court Justices, and it's very possible that their demands will be carried out.  In January of 2011, Salmaan Taseer, the Muslim Governor of the Punjab Province of Pakistan, was assassinated by one of his own bodyguards after radicals called for his execution for speaking out on behalf of Asia Bibi.  Khadim openly supported Salmaan Taseer's assassination and now calls for the same actions against the Chief Justices of the Pakistani Supreme Court.  Right now, nobody in Pakistan is safe from the wrath of the radicals.  Though the authorities have taken Khadim into custody, it's not yet known what will happen to him, and it's unknown as to whether this action will tame the radicals, or further inflame them.  the situation for the persecuted minorities and their Muslim sympathizers is now more precarious than ever before.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...
