ISLAMABAD: An 11-year-old Christian girl has been arrested in Pakistani capital on a charge of blasphemy after she was accused of burning pages of the Quran, police said on Saturday.

Officials of Ramna police station said an FIR had been registered against Rimsha Masih, a resident of Umara Jaffar in sector G-12 in Islamabad.

The girl was arrested on Friday by personnel from a women’s police station after a man named Syed Muhammad Ummad filed a complaint against her.

However, an NGO named ‘Christians in Pakistan’ reported on its website that the girl has ‘Down Syndrome’ and had been falsely accused of burning 10 pages of the Quran.

The NGO said other Christians living in sector G-12 had been “threatened by extremists” who wanted to burn down their village on Friday.

It said some 300 people had left their homes and were in hiding due to the threats.

The All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA) is providing assistance to people who have left their homes.

    Once again the Religion of the Perpetually Pi$$ed-off covers itself in glory. Islam wishes to boldly lead us into the 8th century.

    These a-holes are acting like they’re the ones with Downs Syndrome.

    Like my first sergeant used to say “F*ck it, kill ‘em all and let God (Allah) sort them out.”

    An 11-year-old girl with Down’s in a Paki prison. I’m sure they’re treating her well. Want to bet that Syed tried to have his way with her and when she resisted, he filed a complaint? Now she has guards abusing her.

    I pray for this little girl every night. I even pray the Mossad will bust her out. The Lord works in musterious ways.
