We hear everyday about blasphemy cases filed against minorities in Pakistan. A recent example being Rimsha Masih who was freed of the charge and flown to an unidentified location to protect the twelve year old. In a rare twist on the blasphemy laws of Pakistan, a group of Muslim men suspected of ransacking the Hindu Sri Krishna Ram temple in Karachi may face blasphemy charges. The attack took place on September 21st and the statues of Hindu Gods were destroyed and the holy books torn. However none of the attackers have been found yet and if caught, it is unsure what the punishment would be. Maybe this will pave way for the protection of the rights of minorities in Pakistan and deter the Muslim extremists from violence against minorities.
