LAHORE, Pakistan — A young, married Pakistani Christian couple, including the pregnant mother of three children, were “brutally tortured and burned alive” at a brick kiln Nov. 4 in the Punjab province following “a false accusation of blasphemy,” according to the brother of the slain husband.
The deaths of Shahzad Masih, 28, and his pregnant wife Shama Bibi, 24, were vociferously decried by Christians in the predominantly Muslim country.

The manager of the brick kiln where the bonded laborer brothers worked spotted pages that allegedly contained Quranic verses from Islam’s holy book in the rubbish being burned by Shama, who Shabhaz said couldn’t read, and alerted local Muslims.
After the announcement of the alleged desecration of the Quran was made over loudspeakers in neighboring villages, the couple feared for their lives and wanted to flee. But Mouhammad Youaf Gujjar, the owner of the brick kiln, instead confined them in a room in the brick kiln.

Coming to neighborhood near you.
Another RIP made necessary by the “ROP”
The Religion of Pestilence strikes again.
But as Obama would tell you, these aren’t “true Muslims”.
Too bad the Christians from these savage and pagan countries couldn’t be rounded up and taken to safety somewhere. How they could live with these savages is beyond me.
When the time comes to bring the hurt to islam - I want to fire the first volley.
