Now this is REAL Blasphemy

The Guardian today reports that a "Pakistani mullah 'planted charred texts' on girl accused of blasphemy."

The subtitle reads "Hardline cleric deliberately framed Rimsha Masih, believed to be just 13, in order to 'get rid of Christians', court hears."

Now that is what I call blasphemy.

And by that I don't mean destroying one's own sacred texts and then accusing a child with Downs Syndrome of the very crime you have committed.

I don't even mean doing so in order to incite hatred and justify ethnic cleansing of her people.

The real blasphemy was the tremerity to think that God would allow him to get away with it.

"For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." (Deuteronomy 4:24)
