So, for my second post, I
will write about the young girl in Pakistan who was accused and put in jail for
burning pages of the Quran. Basically, a young girl named Rimsha
Masih, who is
mentally challenged, was arrested for allegedly burning pages of the Quran and
was put in jail for three weeks. Doing any harm to the Quran will either get
you put to death or a life sentence. Many Christians around the world and in
Pakistan were very upset by this, and helped her get bail money. Rimsha was
allowed bail, and she got out the next day. Rimsha was whisked away to an armored vehicle, then
to a helicopter, which then took her to an unknown location. Many of her
neighbors doubt she will ever return. Most of the Christians in her
neighborhood had left once she was arrested, because they feared they would be
arrested also. They have now returned and wish the charges would just be
dropped so they could forget about the whole thing, and the neighborhood could
go back to normal.
This whole thing seems
ridiculous to me. She’s how old? Like 11, I would assume. But come on! You have
to give her the benefit of the doubt that she is mentally challenged. Now her
and her mother can’t come home. Their probably scared for their lives now that
this has gone world-wide. They probably won’t ever feel safe. There are nut
jobs out there who will blow this whole thing out of proportion. I honestly
feel sadden by this because she is just a little girl! She was trying to keep
warm for god’s sake. She probably couldn’t even read. This whole thing is
already blown out of proportion, but at least she is now somewhere safe and can
just forget about this whole thing hopefully.
