Christians condemn bookshop raid
2005-06-27
The All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA) has condemned a raid by Saddar Preedy police, Karachi, on a Christian bookshop on June 13 and asked the Sindh High Court chief Justice to form a judicial commission to investigate the incident. “This unethical, illogical and inhuman police act has insulted the sanctity of the Christian bookshop and hurt the religious sentiments of Christians throughout Pakistan. We condemn inaccurate, biased and unfounded press reports in Karachi newspapers about this issue,” said Shahbaz Bhatti, APMA representative, in a statement issued on Sunday.
Desecrated a few bibles, did they?
The APMA also asked President Musharraf and PM Aziz to suspend the police officials involved. The statement said, “The daughters of St Paul nuns have been running this bookshop since 1948. The bookshop offers books, CDs and videos on Christian literature. There is no material against the beliefs of other religions in it.” Bhatti said that Preedy police insulted the Christian community and harassed nuns. It was a conspiracy against Christian-Muslim unity, he said.
Huh huh! He said "Christian-Muslim unity." Huh huh!

#1  It doesn't have to have anything disparaging against other religions. If some nutjob thinks it is against Allan that is all of the excuse they need in their minds.
