MULTAN , Pakistan: Gunmen shot and killed a Christian clergyman at a railway station Monday in a central city of Pakistan , police said.

No one claimed responsibility for the slaying of Mukhtar Masih, a Protestant minister who was heading to the eastern city of Lahore from Khanewal, a small city about 50 km (30 miles) west of Multan. His body was found in Khanewal's rail station Monday morning.

``Apparently, it seems that it an act of terrorism, but we are still investigating,'' Mohammed Shahzad, a deputy superintend police in Khanewal, told The Associated Press by phone. There was no indication of who the killers were.

There was no indication of who the killers were

I can take a wild guess though.

Islam-list

If people want on or off this list, please let me know.

Without the support of Freeper donations, Free Republic would go belly-up, leaving guys like The French Gynecologist to be unopposed. And we can't have that!

[Travis McGee]

Islam at its core is an insane murder cult.

[rhombus]

It's hard not to suspect Islamo-fascists. They do seem to be still fighting the Crusades.

I noticed an article buried in the paper yesterday, about a thirteenth century church in Liberia that collapsed, burying fifteen Christians who were there to worship some special saint. The church was said to be one of the first stone churches in Liberia, built by the Christian king of Liberia. No reason was given for the collapse.

"There was no indication of who the killers were"

Let me see. Disgruntled sportsfans? A group of cowboys shooting up the town? Perhaps some Mafia dons? A group of Swedish tourists??

May the Almighty rest the soul of Mukhtar Masih, Clergyman and Matyr.

Stone churches were carved out of solid rock to keep the muzzlemen mohamedens from burning them.

[17th Miss Regt]

You hit it on the nose! Those blasted Swedes!!!

[Eva]

Well, it looks as though the Mohamedens figured out a way to destroy solid rock churches, now. It only took them eight hundred years for these peace loving Islamists to destroy the solid stone church.

[Cronos]

Yeah, but now they're doing it withChristian money -- to be precise, money from our treasury that was given to them as soft-loans etc. We do this only as we're afraid of their nukes falling in the wrong hands. Let's do something about this and take away those nukes. It would mean a nasty war, but what are the other options? Once Mush goes (and he will, remember Sadat?), the nukes will fall in AlQ hands and then bye bye Washington DC, N York etc.

[Cronos]

They did destroy the Bamiyan Buddhas

[Cronos]

Apparently, it seems that it an act of terrorism, but we are still investigating,

err.. not terrorism, more a case of institutionalised discrimination and violence against minorities.

(warning, next two paragraphs are bitter commentary on how The Religion of Peace
often gets a free pass in the press)

Seeing how the article did mention that the murdered minister was Protestant...
The Vatican probably should issue a disavowal of all knowledge.

Like, we know that most Christians killed/persecuted in Pakistan are afflicted by other
Christians these days...
(end bitter sarcasm)

Seriously, the way mainstream media covers these examples of the "Religion of Peace" in action...
sheeple would probably be more likely to consider such a preposterous
thought (e.g., a Catholic cleric murdering a Protestant cleric....when Islamo-wackos
are the truly "likely suspects").

slamonutzis when left to themselves and locked up, turn on each other -- as in Pak where, since most of the Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Ahmadiyas etc. have run away, the Sunnis slaughter the shias and vice-versa.
