Thats exactly how Peaceful and tolerant they get as soon as they are no longer a minority! Lets bring millions and millions more, what could go wrong? Diversity and blah blah blah and we thought we had problems. Access to water is the most fundamental of human rights.

Pakistan’s Top Court Frees Christian Woman on Death Row for BlasphemyA Pakistani Christian mother whose death sentence for blasphemy sparked an international outcry was freed by the country’s highest court. Thank you, Pakistan. Pakistan SC made a fearless judgement. I congratulate the SC of Pakistan. No comments about the judgment of the Supreme Court. But if talking against Holocaust is not freedom of speech then disrespecting any Prophet (Peace Be Upon on them) is not freedom of speech. They should be punished too. Must respect sentiments of Muslims and EVERY RELIGION.
