Pakistan: 80 Year-old Arrested for Desecrating the Koran.... You are never to old to start
Kabeer wala (AsiaNews) His name is Altaf Husain and he is an 80-year-old man. He was arrested by police in Kabeer wala for desecrating the Quran, a crime which is punishable with life in prison according to the Pakistan Criminal Code.The elderly man belongs to the Ahmadiyya, a Muslim religious movement condemned as heretical in 1974. With perhaps as many as 3 million followers, especially in Punjab, the Ahmadi community has suffered from harassment and persecution. According to police, a student saw Altaf Husain rip pages out of a Quran last Monday and throw them on the ground. When he shouted at him to stop, the old Ahmadi ran off. You are wasting good toilet paper!!! Posted by: Icerigger 2008-03-07 |
