Pakistan urges US, Interpol to take action
2010-09-10
[Pak Daily Times] Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Thursday urged Interpol Secretary General Ronald K Noble and the US government to take strict action against the planned burning of the holy Quran by an American pastor. In a letter to the Interpol chief, Malik observed that the burning of the holy book was a crime against humanity and amounted to international offense, as it would harm world peace and harmony. "Interpol must play its role to stop this heinous criminal act," Malik demanded. Calling it an insane act, he warned "it would do irreversible damage to world peace, especially when the world is fighting against all kind of acts of terrorism".

#13   In a show of solidarity I think that all RBers should start their grills this weekend with a burning Koran.
Alan, just a minor detail, should that be Quran or Koran?
We can then have either BBQK or BBQQ. I prefer the second.

#9  Crime against humanity? Whose humanity? As much as it stinks burning a book, it's their right. It's called free speech and protected by the Constitution. Just goes to show the lack of disconnect and completely different culture to us.

#8   And what exactly does Pakistan and Saudi Arabia do with confiscated Bibles and Torahs?

In Saudi Arabia they confiscate Korans, too, or so I've heard. At least ones that don't conform to the version the Wahabbis use.

#4  I would love to see some Interpol scumbag splattered all over an American sidewalk, trying to "arrest" someone for exercising their First Amendment right to free speech.

#3  I don't think Interpol could collect a fine on a parking ticket. Somebody's been watching too many Hawaii Five-O reruns...

#2  "Interpol must play its role to stop this heinous criminal act"

Here's a free clue, Malik - you and Interpol can both go f*** yourselves. It's nunaya goddam business.

They don't give them away or handle them with kid gloves. I think Saudi Arabia burns them.
