“Punjab, Christians hunted for blasphemy: fireworks wrapped in Koran pages,” by Jibran Khan for Asia News, November 2 (thanks to C. Cantoni):
Islamabad (AsiaNews) – Two Pakistani Christians and their families are fleeing for their lives after being accused of blasphemy against the Koran. The two proclaim their innocence and fear for their lives.Arif Masih and Tariq Masih are owners of a store where they sell fireworks in Thatta Faqirullah (Wazirabad, Punjab). On October 27 they sold Muhammad Zahid a set of fireworks for his wedding party. Since some of them failed to go off, some of the wedding guests opened them to see why they did not work and found that the powders were wrapped in pages containing verses of the Koran. The discovery shocked the newlyweds and their guests who immediately destroyed the store of both Christians and denounced the two to the police.

Jihad Watch is an Islamophic website. The ‘News’ of this website is highly questionable.
Anti-blasphemy laws, in true sense, have nothing to do with Quran. They all have roots in the pre-Islamic Judeo-Christian traditions. Even if it is true that these Pakistani Christians were responsible (which I do not believe they were), there is nothing in Quran that says one should go and punish people like that. This shameless victimization of minorities, like Shias, Kadianis, Christians, and Hindus, is just an ongoing political declaration of Islamists telling the world who is in-charge. Loss of innocent lives is just a collateral damage. Of course, Islamophobes will exploit this to promote their agenda.
