This week's persecuted church: Pakistan

A 14-year-old girl with mental disabilities was arrested for defaming Islam on August 16 after she was allegedly spotted by neighbors with a plastic bag containing burned pages of the Quran.  After being held for more than three weeks, the case took an unexpected turn on Saturday when a local imam was accused by a member of his mosque of planting the burned pages in the girl's bag with the intent to drive Christians out of his Islamabad neighborhood.  However, once you have been accused of blasphemy it means the reolocation of your family even if you are acquitted by the court.
