Christian girl arrested after accusations of burning Quran

A Christian girl was sent to a Pakistani prison after being accused by her furious Muslim neighbors of burning pages of the Islamic holy book, the Quran, in violation of the country’s strict blasphemy laws.

Now, beneath any Muslim woman is any Christian person and below that is any Jew in their minds.
