Protesting Pontiff Plagues Pakistanis

As I had written here about the Pope and his condemnation of the killing in Pakistan of Governor Salman Taseer  because he was an opponent of blasphemy laws, now we see Pakistanis protesting not only the protesting of blasphemy laws but of the Pope protesting the protesting of blasphemy laws.

Rally supports governor's killer
Islamic extremists have rallied in support of the confessed killer of a liberal Pakistani governor and protested against Pope Benedict XVI for urging the scrapping of blasphemy laws stipulating death for those who insult Islam.

Governor Salman Taseer was among the critics of the judgement and he was last week gunned down by guard Mumtaz Qadri, who later said he was motivated by Mr Taseer's stance on the laws.

Just following the example of Muhammad as "al-insan al-kamil" or the perfect man who said that whoever changes his religion (from Islam to anything ekse), then kill him.
