Is The Guardian an anti-Muslim newspaper? I don't think so, but in the world in which we live you have to wonder, as the newspaper describes some actions Muslims are bringing against Christians in Pakistan. The catalyst for these actions is the arrest of an 11-year-old Christian girl for blasphemy because she supposedly burned a portion of the Koran. If convicted, she may be executed.
The article goes on to describe other anti-Christian actions ascribed to Muslims:
- 900 Christians living on the outskirts of Islamabad have been ordered to leave a neighborhood where they have lived for almost two decades.
- Shopkeepers have refused to serve their Christian neighbors or supply them with water.
- Complaints were made about the noise coming from three churches in the area during religious services. Two of the landlords who owned the buildings had already ordered an end to worship and some services were forcibly broken up.
- A Christian couple was sentenced to 25 years in 2010 after being accused of touching the Qur'an with unwashed hands.
- Christians have been killed by lynch mobs demanding instant punishment.
