| EFL Dajkot Church attacked Faisalabad: ... The well attended prayer meeting by the village elders, youth, women and children were under way when Muslims shouting "you infidels stop praying and accept Islam" entered the church and started beating the worshipers. The Muslim attackers desecrated the Holy Bible and broke every thing in the church... most of the Muslim attackers were drunken and tried to rape women in the church... station House officer of the police station refused to lodge any report of the Christians when Christian injured were lying in the hospital where Muslim doctors left them unattended with any medical aid on directions of Muslim influential of the vicinity... fear among the Christian villagers on threats of killing them by the Muslims relatives of the arrested attackers has forced them to migrate to safer places. and coincidentally, Annan warns of tensions between West and Islam TUEBINGEN, Germany (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has warned that tensions are mounting between Westerners and Muslims and has urged people to seek out common ground between their traditions.... "Misunderstandings" -its all just an innocent misunderstanding have arisen between the Islamic world and the West and amid such acrimony the relevance and importance of the United Nations have been called into question, he said. the worst misunderstandings are the willfully ignorant drivel that comes out of the mouth of people like Annan |

| #7 Doctors here take the oath. Some of us even follow it. However, if someone holds a gun to your head and says: "don't treat that person," the oath is going to take a back seat. |

| #6 Annan comments are at: http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=421108§ion=news and on the 'drunk' moslems thing - I think moslems in rural pakland get high on various smoked or chewed substances rather than alcohol but it makes them act like they were on alcohol |

| #5 Aren't doctors, pretty much worldwide, required to swear the Hippocratic Oath? I think it's a Western thing, and from what I've heard there are some "ethicists" who are against it. I think it's optional even in the US now. |

| #4 mhw, interesting juxtaposition. Of course, PCP might have an axe to grind, but this is a little far-fetched to make up. Drunken Muslims, huh? Q: Aren't doctors, pretty much worldwide, required to swear the Hippocratic Oath? I can't find a reference to the Annan quote. Is there a link? It's not in reuters/news. Maybe he really didn't say that, and it's all a misunderstanding to call the "the relevance and importance of the United Nations ... into question." Yeah, that's gotta be it. |

| #2 U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has warned that tensions are mounting between Westerners and Muslims.. Hmmmm, I wonder why that is...? "Misunderstandings" - have arisen between the Islamic world and the West and amid such acrimony the relevance and importance of the United Nations have been called into question, he said. Heh, I'd say this conflict between the RoP and everybody else is more than just a little "misunderstanding". |
