ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will ask the European Union countries to amend laws regarding freedom of expression in order to prevent offensive incidents such as the printing of blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and the production of an anti-Islam film by a Dutch legislator, sources in the Interior Ministry told Daily Times on Saturday.

They said that a six-member high-level delegation comprising officials from the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Law would leave Islamabad on Sunday (today) for the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium and explain to the EU leadership the backlash against the blasphemous campaign in the name of freedom of expression.

The delegation, headed by an additional secretary of the Interior Ministry, will meet the leaders of the EU countries in a bid to convince them that the recent attack on the Danish Embassy in Pakistan could be a reaction against the blasphemous campaign, sources said.

They said that the delegation would also tell the EU that if such acts against Islam are not controlled, more attacks on the EU diplomatic missions abroad could not be ruled out.

Sources said that the delegation would also hold discussions on inter-religious harmony during its meetings with the EU leaders.

My reaction:

Seems to me that the best solution to this problem is to tell muslims to stay out of North America, South America, Europe and Australia. I mean, these people have been nothing but trouble there. From refusing to pay taxes, refusing to blend in, wanting special schools/dispensations….the list goes on.

What the fuck is wrong with muslims anyway? The publications that these Pakistani excrements are ranting about are internal European publications. The fact that they print insults against the so-called “tolerant religion” is meant for their own people. Are they published in Asia, or anywhere else muslims root? No. So fucking suck it up. Freedom of expression bitches!

Everyday I read the papers, and everyday I come to the conclusion that calling Islam a “religion of peace” is really naive.
