Blasphemy, bible, children and sharia: Karachi, Bangladesh and Egypt

As we have seen, Muslim extremists have no compunction in attacking children and the vulnerable. They did it with Rimsha, and now the Taliban have shot a courageous 14 year old Muslim girl as she waited for her school bus, because she has exposed their atrocities and stood up for education for girls and the rights of women which they despise.  The pitiful excuse from Pakistani Taliban?  'Whoever leads a campaign against Sharia and Islam is ordered to be killed by Sharia'.
Oh yes, lets shoot unarmed schoolgirls and claim she was leading a campaign against 'Sharia'.  Was she?  If Sharia involves the oppression of women and the massacres of innocents, then yes she did.
Apparently it is 'obligatory' to kill such courageous people.  They justify it by citing the example of one of the companions of the prophet of Islam who killed his blind wife for using words against the prophet, a prophet who praised that self same act.  It also justifies the killing of the young by referring to an alleged godly and righteous teacher of Moses mentioned in the Koran who killed a child, and justified by saying that the child would bring a 'bad name' upon his godly parents.
This is the kind of pathetic and satanic excuse that these Taliban barbarians use for trying to murder an innocent and unarmed schoolgirl in cold blood.  If you want to read what they said (and their claim that they did not attack her because of her educational work, and that it is all lies of the media - see here.

Update on Heil Hitler issue

In an article yesterday, we posted about a particularly vicious anti-semitic Facebook posting on a Pakistani Muslim page (see above).  Well, the image got removed, so thanks to all who reported it.

Unsurprisingly, a variant has been put straight back up, this time with a whinging side note about Facebook removing it, claiming that they did it because 'it hurts them'.  They also bet that FB never removes anti-Islamic posts.  Actually, we rather think they do.  If it called for murder or hatred against a group it no doubt will be.  This whining view shows the double standards.  Articles critiquing aspects of Islam or the actions of some of it's adherents is very different than celebrating the whole scale slaughter of a race or religion.  However, in the minds of these bigots, Islam deserves special protection, and thus they think that these two kinds of speech are equivalent.

A perusal of the community page shows that anti-semitic postings are not uncommon.  In addition, most of the replies to the new post are also anti-semitic, even when they start out appearing not to be.  For instance, one condemns the poster for praising Hitler, but then, outrageously goes on to claim that Hitler was a puppet for 'Zionists', thus managing to combine condemning Hitler with blaming the Jews for the one who massacred him!  (A tactic not unfamiliar to Christians in Pakistan and similar nations who are often blamed for the attacks perpetrated against them)

In addition, commentors claim that the attacks on embassies on 9-11 2012 was actually a terrorist attack by America on Muslims!
