Assasination of Salman Taseer in Punjab

Mr. Taseer was a decent, brave, politician. The blasphemy law of Pakistan has been used over and over in a variety of unjust ways to oppress, persecute, and kill harmless Pakistani citizens who happen to believe a different version about God. I pray Mr. Taseer's example will inspire millions of Pakistanis to come out and show the face of Islam that is constantly described as kind, humane, compassionate, reasonable. For me, these characteristics are not shown in generous quantities anywhere today by the majority of practicing Muslims. If and where it exists, it seems permanently cowed and cowardly in the face of militant Muslims' threats. What a difference between "moderate" Muslims who lose their voices as soon as they are threatened, and the bravery of Christians who have been murdered unjustly for their Faith in their mega-millions for two thousand years! Not just under Islam, especially in the first five centuries after Mohammed, but think Stalin, think Hitler, think the un-Christian despots of South America, think China. Think UK, where to voice your beliefs about the sanctity of life, or the sinfulness of certain lifestyles, ensures you will lose your job. When Catholics and other Christians are given the opportunity to describe their beliefs, they try to do so in a calm, charitable way, trying to teach, and never threatening - or worse, actually harming the person they are talking to. To kill someone for a sin of the flesh is unthinkable to Christians. Most Muslims think it is a correct punishment, while they will overlook a murder when it is convenient! I will never believe there is such a person as a genuinely moderate Muslim because at the slightest threat to their personal comfort they back off. To me, they are all experts in "taqqiyah" when they try to present their religion as a religion of peace. I can tell dissumulation a mile away, having lived in Saudi for years. Jesus called Satan the father of ALL lies............. If Muslims "believe in Jesus" as I have been told personally many times, why don't they follow his teachings? He also said, "Turn the other cheek", and "Do good to your enemies", and Muslims certainly don't do these. If a Muslim reads my blog and is angered, I ask him to consider how he would feel if he was imprisoned and then stoned to death or shot in a European country because he let it be known he did not believe in God as a Trinity?
