FAISALABAD - Christian community has sympathised with the
Muslim majority on blasphemy issue condemning a work of little artistic
value and offensive to Islam. The Diocesan Commission for
Interreligious Dialogue in Faisalabad organized a special sitting
regarding the issue, which was attended by at least 50 prominent
figures, Christian and Muslim. They unanimously condemned the
blasphemous film and branded its authors as “agents of Satan” who
deserve exemplary punishment.
The participants appealed to the USZ government to ban the film, and demanded arrest of Pastor Terry Jones, Sam Becile, the director, and other persons who participated in the production. Fr Bonnie Mendes, a priest and former Secretary of the National Commission for Justice and Peace, says that it’s terrible to offend the sensibilities of Muslim for sinister and evil interests.”
The Muslim religious leader Muhammad Ibrahim requested the extradition to Pakistan of Pastor Jones and the author of the film, so they may be “trailed by the Shariah courts.” He speaks of a “conspiracy” of the Jewish and the US lobby, against Islam and thanks “minorities” for their “strong condemnation” of the film.
