After the murder of a Christian couple in Pakistan, 50 suspects have been arrested. Information has been released on the events that transpired. Reported beating and Burning of couple in a kiln, led to their death, according to the police. The couple was killed after being killed for disrespecting the Q'uran and were guilty of blasphemy. As a compensation the government has agreed to pay the couple's family $49,000. In addition to that the Provinces government has agreed to give 10 acres of land.
This is a tragic event that has once again occurred due to the issue of religion. I'm sure there are many other events similar to this that have transpired, and I'm glad the government is taking responsibility for its peoples actions. I think that the way things played out should almost be a required response. I hope in the future events such as these become less frequent,and as a society we can overcome the issue of religious differences.
