#5 Some may be curious as to why it was assumed that the couple had not washed their hands

Being Christian, Pakistanis assume them to be garbage or sewage workers. That is their lot in life. They are not forced to convert because their labor is essential to the Muslim majority. They perform jobs the Muslims will not do.

Christians are under heavy pressure in Pakistan. It is estimated that 75% of Christians are marginalised in the lowest strata of society, working in brick-kilns, as sweepers, sewer cleaners or labourers.

#6 "touching the Qur'an without washing their hands"

Funny - I'd want to wash my hands after touching one.

"I must replace the Koran in my bathroom."

I've got more respect for my bottom than that, tu. (I'm presuming it's not in there for reading material....)
