The incident occurred in the city’s predominantly Christian Farooq-e-Azam district. After their arrest and release, the victims went into hiding at an undisclosed location. The false charges provoked the reaction of radicals.

Karachi (AsiaNews) – Charges of desecrating the pages of the Qurʾān saw three young Christian women, including two minors, placed under arrest.

It was later discovered that none of the charges were true, but by then the news had spread across their Karachi neighbourhood, provoking a violent reaction by local Islamic radicals who forced some 200 Christian families living in the area to abandon their homes to save themselves.

In Pakistan the accusation of blasphemy - even without evidence - triggers action by Muslim extremists. Thankfully, Christian clerics were able this time to intervene quickly and mediate the affair, which ended peacefully.

One of the clerics, Fr Saleh Diego, a member of the Justice and Peace Commission of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Pakistan (CBCP), told AsiaNews that "police released the young women, who now live at a secret location for security reasons."

The three victims falsely accused of insulting Islam are Permisha, 16, Suneha, 15, and Sunaina, 22. The latter is married. All live in a predominantly Christian part of the Farooq-e-Azam district.

At the centre of the incident is a woman related to all three, Ms. Khurshid Bibi, who is the grandmother of the first two and Sunaina's mother-in-law.

In January 2019 she rented a flat to a Muslim couple, Fayaz and Samina Riaz. After three weeks, however, given the disrespectful behaviour of the couple, she asked them to leave the premises.

There’s little good that comes out of most Islamic states. Pakistan is by far the worst of them all. We should not have allowed an Islamic country get nuclear. But for this, India would’ve taken care of this sh**-hole of a country.

“Pakistan is by far the worst of them all. We should not have allowed an Islamic country get nuclear.”

First there was Jammah Cahtah (circa 1993)who “gave” the Norks a light water reactor which the NORKS turned into a heavy water reactor. Then came that rogue nutball from No. Korea who began selling “Nukes for Dummies” around the world, including Pakistan.

Scratch a problem hard enough and eventually you’ll probably find a Democrat at the heart of it all!

Yet more proof why the 2nd amendment is an individual right. I will never ‘flee’ but will stand and fight.
