"The forces of violence, militant banned organisations the Taliban and al-Quaeder, they want to impose their radical philosophy in Pakistan, and whomever stands against their radical philosophy - that threatens them. When I am leading this campaign against the Sharia law, for the abolishment of blasphemy law, and speaking for the oppressed and persecuted Christian and other minorities, these Taliban threaten me. But I want to share, that I believe in Jesus Christ, who has given his own life for us. I know what is the meaning of the cross, and I'm following the cross, and I am ready to die for a cause, I am living for my community and suffering people, and I will die to defend their rights. These threats and warnings cannot change my opinion and principles, I prefer to die for my principle and the justice of my community, rather than to compromise [with] these threats."A brave man, in a world of people very silent in the face of injustice. The saddest thing, to me - are those giving the bodyguard accused of assisinating the Punjab Governor (for similar reasons) a hero's welcome, and cheering an apparently unrepentant murderer.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE, Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International), or anyone else. It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy. Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences or fun.
