Backwards and barbaric, and
thuggishly, stupidly proud of it.

Pakistan’s prime minister vowed to show “no mercy” to the members of a mob that burned a Christian couple alive in an industrial kiln, as the number of villagers arrested in connection with the crime reached 44. Shahbaz Maseeh, 26, and his wife Shama Bibi, 24, were attacked by colleagues on Tuesday at the brick factory where they worked in Punjab province after word got out that Bibi had burned several verses from the Quran left behind by her dead father. The mob reportedly broke Bibi and Maseeh’s legs so they couldn’t run away and then threw them in an industrial kiln.

The Pakistan government is making the right noises about showing “no mercy” to the culprits and doing whatever it takes to protect religious minorities, but I have a feeling they’ll all be set free with a warning.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said in a statement Thursday that “no mercy” will be shown in punishing those responsible for the “unacceptable” crime. “A responsible state cannot tolerate mob rule and public lynching with impunity,” Sharif said.

So, what happened a couple of days later?

LAHORE: A policeman used an axe to kill a man arrested for allegedly committing blasphemy days after an enraged mob murdered a Christian couple accused of the same crime.

Tufail Haider, a 50-year-old member of the Shia sect, was arrested for allegedly making derogatory remarks toward the companions of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and brought to the Civil Lines police station in the eastern city of Gujrat on Wednesday.

“Tufail was kept in the lock-up but he continued uttering derogatory remarks and hurled abuse at policemen.

“Assistant Sub-Inspector Faraz Naveed, 36, became very angry on hearing the derogatory remarks against the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) and he killed the detainee with an axe in the lock up.”

A Christian woman, Aasia Bibi, who has been on death row since November 2010 after she was found guilty of making derogatory remarks about Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) during an argument with a Muslim woman lost an appeal last month. http://tribune.com.pk/story/786605/police-beat-man-to-death-with-axes/

In other words, those extra-judicial mob hits are ALSO going on.
Sharia Courts plus muttawa (morality police) are hard at work putting non-Muslims on death row as a fine example of how ”the prophet’s perfect model” should be followed.
