On CNN today I saw a story that shocked me. Israel sentenced a Muslim woman to death for arguing with her Jewish neighbors and allegedly saying, "Mohamed rasool Allah (Mohamed is the prophet of God)". Condemnation of the sentence from world leaders, including those from every Western democracy, poured into Tel Aviv. Massive protests are being planned around the world. Israeli embassies are shuttering their doors and windows in anticipation of potentially violent protests.
Ok, of course that didn't happen. I just made it up. But why, you ask? Because that very thing is happening in Pakistan and nobody seems to care. The difference is that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is sentencing Christians to death. The world's organized outrage industry operates on a very selective and hypocritical standard, double standard, that is. Nearly 7 years ago a Christian woman named Asia Bibi dared to drink from the same water supply being used by her Muslim neighbors. They argued with her that she had contaminated the water because she is an infidel and therefore unclean (I'm just going to pause here for a minute and let the love and tolerance of Islam wash over me)......Ok, I'm back. She allegedly said, "My Christ died for me. What did your Mohamed ever do for you"? They reported her, she was convicted of insulting Islam, and now she is nearing the end of 7 years on death row and down to her final appeal.
Where is the outrage? Where are the churches? Where are the human rights activists? Where are the demonstrations? Pakistan has a clear and open policy of religious apartheid that surely creates an atmosphere of terror among its religious minorities. This is truly Islamic terrorism, and because it's being practiced by an elected government, we are left with no option but to conclude that a majority of the people of Pakistan are in favor of this policy. Shame on them, but even more shame on us if we let this happen without so much as a whimper.
