Girl held in Pakistan, accused of burning Quran pages

[North Kai]

An 11-year-old Christian girl has been arrested after being accused of blasphemy by burning pages of the Quran in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.

According to a statement released by the president's office Sunday, the girl, identified as Ramsha, was accused by a local resident of burning pages of the Muslim holy text after she gathered paper as fuel for cooking.

Local media reports said the girl has Down syndrome. CNN was unable to confirm these reports, and a local police official said they are not true.

Qasim Niazi, the police officer in charge of the station near where the incident took place, said the girl does not have a mental disorder but is illiterate and has not attended school.

The accused girl had told him she had no idea there were pages of the Quran inside the documents she burned, he added.

Niazi said that 150 people had gathered on Friday where the neighborhood's Christian population lives and threatened to burn down their houses.
"The mob wanted to burn the girl to give her a lesson," he told CNN.
Other Christian families living in the area have fled fearing a backlash, he added.

The statement from President Asif Ali Zardari said he has called for an urgent report on the incident and added that vulnerable sections of society must be protected "from any misuse of the blasphemy law."

"Blasphemy by anyone cannot be condoned but no one will be allowed to misuse blasphemy law for settling personal scores," said the president's spokesman, Farhatullah Babar.

Critics of the controversial law say it is being used to persecute religious minorities.

Politician and former international cricketer Imran Khan tweeted: "Shameful! Sending an 11yr old girl to prison is against the very spirit of Islam which is all about being Just and Compassionate.

"Poor child is already suffering from Down Syndrome. State should care for its children not torment them. We demand her immed release," said Khan, who now leads the political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.

The legislation makes it a crime punishable by death to insult Islam, the Quran or the Prophet Mohammed.

Pakistan is home to about 2 million Christians, who make up more than 1% of Islamic nation's population, according to government statistics.

the problem with religion is that it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to personal most religious persons are too easily offended for every little thing someone might say against their beliefs

in fact some people take it so personal that they want to punish everyone that isnt respectful of their religion even if they themselves make offending remarks themselves, at times even without realising it

religion in itself is good and essential so our cultures but people remain stupid, stupid enough not to be able to handle religion for what it is and misuse it all the time because they take it to personally and on top of that dont understand it all that well

PS: Im already sorry for this thread, looks like some members cant handle news, could someone pls shut this thing down the idiots ruined it

Are you serious man? Yes obviously burning Quaran pages isn't right but execution? She's 11 years old, she's just a little kid I serioisly doubt she knows better. We all did stupid things when were 11 but we didn't get in trouble because people ubdestood that we didn't know any better.

Racist doesn't necessarily mean , being against a certain "race" ..It can mean that you are discriminating a group of people and being hateful towards them or their beliefs .., it seems that you are the one who is stupid ..and you go on a forum insulting people's religion , shows just about how immature you really are ..
