Pakistan officially branded Mr. Salman Rushdie a "blasphemer", thanks to a successful resolution by the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Sher Afgna Khan Niazi.  Then he said something that struck me as very inconsistent by muslim standards: "......Every religion should be respected."   Tell that to every Jew or Christian killed or maimed by beheading, torture, or suicide bombings because the muslims truly "respected" them.   At least one person, Khwaja Asif, brought things back down to earth when he pointed out the resolution exposed a contradiction.
