http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/pak-asks-interpol-to-stop-quran-burning-50902 Pak asks Interpol to stop Quran-burning Islamabad: Pakistan on Thursday strongly condemned an American pastor's plans to burn copies of the Quran to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks and asked Interpol to stop the "insane" man from going ahead with the move. President Asif Ali Zardari expressed grave concern over the pastor's threat and believed that anyone "who even thought of such a despicable act must be suffering from a diseased mind and a sickly soul," according to his spokesman Farhatullah Babar. Such an act will "inflame sentiments among Muslims throughout the world and cause irreparable damage to interfaith harmony and world peace," Babar said. The President has called for "doing all that it takes to stop such a senseless and outrageous act," he said. Separately, Interior Minister Rehman Malik, in a letter addressed to Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble, said Interpol should stop "insane" pastor Terry Jones from burning the Quran. Malik drew Interpol's attention to the "very serious and grave" issue, which is a crime against humanity and an "international offence" as it could affect global peace and harmony. "Interpol must play its role to stop this heinous criminal act by insane Terry Jones as it will bring irreversible damage to world peace, especially when the world is fighting against all kind of acts of terrorism," he said. Malik asked Noble to take up the issue with US authorities to stop the "crazy so-called priest from this highly criminal act." "Muslim Ummah would be outraged by such an act and the feelings of Muslims should be respected," he said. Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said Pakistan denounces the planned "shameful burning of 200 copies of the Holy Quran by a small Florida church on September 11." "The government and the people of Pakistan, including Christians, are outraged at this planned act by a self-proclaimed pastor. This is against the spirit of any religion and is, therefore, being rightly denounced by the entire international community," he told a weekly news briefing. Pakistan urges "adherents of all religions and faiths to strongly condemn this fanatic approach and oppose those, who in the name of freedom and liberty, are resorting to bigotry and undermining the work that has been done towards promoting interfaith harmony since 9/11," he said. |

Great thread couldn't of gone in the other 20 threads about the quran burning

Maybe Pakistan ought to ask Interpol to investigate the Bible burning and death-threats to Christians in Pakistan first.
Hypocrites. Faisalabad (AsiaNews) - Desecration at the church of St. Paul in the village ‘Chak 77-RB’, ‘Lohekay’, about 30 kilometers from Faisalabad: on December 17, suspects burned a bible and other sacred texts, leaving a letter threatening Christians that they will "burn in the fire of hell" if they do not convert to Islam.
Pervez Masih tells AsiaNews that on that day, he and others were whitewashing and decorating the little church for Christmas. They stopped at noon for lunch, leaving the church open. When they returned, they found the bible and other sacred texts reduced to ashes, and a handwritten letter telling them to convert to Islam if they wanted to "live in peace" and avoid hell. In Pakistan, there is significant controversy over the law on blasphemy, condemning even to death those who offend the sacred book of Islam, the Qur'an. But nothing is done against blasphemous acts toward the books of other religions. Fr. Yagoob Yousaf arrived in the village that same evening, having been told about the sacrilege. He celebrated Mass in the church (in the photo), and in the homily, he condemned the sacrilege and the threats, and told the faithful to remain calm and peaceful and not to be afraid, because the police have promised the highest vigilance. He said that Christ preached love and peace, and the government would see to guaranteeing security for the Christians for the Holy Nativity. In recent years, at Christmas, there have been attacks against Catholic and Protestant churches. Often the Christmas celebrations have taken place under police protection. He observes that "this is a high holy season for all Christians and they are preparing themselves for Christmas but such type of incidents are creating fear and is a move to disturb Christians in the season of Advent." Most of the people in the village are Muslim, and there are between 50 and 70 Christian families. The church is used by Catholics and Protestants, without conflict. When they became aware of the sacrilege, many Muslims went to the church together with the Christians. Now the police are investigating the "suspects" for the crime of blasphemy. |

I found the initially found the link on a German website, but was too lazy to translate. What I found refreshing is that the comments on this extreme-lefty news magazine website were almost 100% against the Pakistanis.
One of the best comments was (paraphrasing here): "It shows a lot when a local nujob (Jones) out of a backwater town in Florida can unmask Islam for what it is and for all the world to see." |

Quoted: there is a reason we aren't Pakistan we are better then them. Maybe Pakistan ought to ask Interpol to investigate the Bible burning and death-threats to Christians in Pakistan first. Hypocrites. |
|
Maybe we should ask Interpol to stop the whack jobs people who strap bombs to themselves and detonate them. Seems to me that is a bit more on the crazy side then any hillbilly who wants to burn a book.
|
|
After the burning they are going to want to kill us more dead I guess.
|
|
This has gone way beyond full retard.
Wouldn't surprise me at this point if WWIII (or whatever number) started over this. And it's all due to the media hyping the actions of some yahoo, knowing full well the RoP would go ballistic over it. |
|
I'll have true respect for 'islam' when they voice opposition to anti-American HATERS as vehemently as they speak out against the book burners.
In case they don't realize it ; 'tolerance' is a two way street and they started this shit!!!... |
|
I love that the violent Islamic response is so inevitable that the book-burning pastor is the bad guy for "inciting violence".
No mention of the individuals that will actually commit the violent acts the pastor is supposedly inciting. |
|
I might buy one and burn it on 9-11 too now.
fucking headcutters don't realize the more they bitch and demand that Americans be stripped of a fundamental liberty by government or outside forces, the more Americans will support the no-name crazy backwoods pastor with the insignificant congregation |

I bet the pastor is just trying to get a rise out of everyone. To prove on how peaceful muslims are. I am also betting his life might and will be in jeopardy. You have muslim nations wanting this mans head. If he goes through with this act you can bet your ass that a nutcase muslim is going to do something. Don't forget 9/11.

I would LOVE to see just ONE world leader pose the challenge to an Islamic country to do what they're asking us to do: Be tolerant. Quid pro quo and all that. Make it a big public event and let's see what the answer is.

Quoted: Another thread? You first thread was not enough? TRG I'm a post whore. |

We better not do it.
If we do they might start hating us and blowing us up. |

Quoted: i some how doubt these people just happen to have a quran, so this entire thing is like saying im going to protest the bailout by buying a gm paying it off and then burning it. The $10 or whatever it costs is simply the price of exercising free speech. They couldn't legally burn korans that didn't belong to them now right? Newspapers ads are not free. TV spots are not free. Sound systems are not free. Paper for cartoons is not free. The koran burning is no different. So what if the publishers make a few pennies? By stifling your own free speech out of fear of the publishers making a few cents per copy burned you've already lost. The publishers could even be one of the big book houses and not even muslims so it's not like 'they' are getting the profits. If that wacky pastor feels that exercise of 1st amendment rights is worth more than what it will cost and what the publisher might gain, then good for them. |

Burning the Korans is pointless and idiotic IMHO. But fuck I'm sick of the threats of violence from the ROP over trivial BS.
As far as the paper pushers at Interpol go. Freakin bring it Sunshine. |

Has anyone addressed the fact that burning books, regardless of their retarded contents, is pretty stupid?

ABC News radio just reported 3 FBI agents have "unexpectedly" entered the Florida church. Looks like the Obozo administration is looking for a way to shut this down.

In hindsite maybe we should have asked Interpol to stop crazed muslims from killing our people and BURNING our buildings down.

Quoted:

Still tired of hand wringing and outrage and demands of ceasing when one groups religious symbology is attacked while others are told to shut up and revel in the act of freedom that art displays of Christ in a jar of piss represents. Stupid people are all over the world doing stupid, pointless shit. Want to come bomb my country because some retard wants to burn books? Fuck you, you need killing. |

The muslim world seems to offer only three options to the rest of us... Kneel, die, or fight back.
I'll die before I'll kneel to them. |

Put the cross in urine? Fine. Burn the flag? Fine. Burn a Bible? Fine. Burn a Koran? Death threats, political grand-standing and pressure, abuse of authority, etc. Between this and the threats on what will happen if the Mosque is not built where they want it, in NYC, and Islam is revealing itself. Personally, I wouldn't burn any book unless I needed something to start a fire to keep warm. ((shrugs)) |

The more they push on this nutjob, the more people will become sympathetic. It's frightening to think that your freedoms are usurped by the full weight and power of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT if you do something they don't like. Very unsettling, this is. |
