The Hawk...A Haunting TRUTH of MANY of the Homeless in Dallas, TX

by Dan Getz, International Blogger

www.Dance4One.blogspot.com

 

This morning around 7:30 a.m. as I boarded the DART 703 outside of Parkland Memorial Hospital, a veteran of war in a wheelchair, I later learned was “Mark” immediately caught my eye.  Without hesitation, I got up from my seat across from him and asked him which war he had fought in to protect the freedoms I and all Americans have because of men and woman like him.  He replied that he had served our country in Vietnam between the years of 1968 and 1969 and after shaking his hand and thanking him for all he had done to protect and serve our country, he told me he had a very nice letter to the Editor of the Dallas Morning News from a buddy of his…that had been written about the Salvation Army and which he wanted to give me, but the Dallas Morning News had already rejected it and refused to publish it.  He went on to tell me that he hoped I might publish the copy he pulled out of a neat and orderly folder and handed to me.  I told him I would…Today.

 

“They call him the Hawk and when he sweeps in along the cold, dirty streets, he takes the old and sick, the homeless; the hopeless; the crazy ones from drink and drugs or past because they count the men in the line a laugh, although the powerful over the powerless in the way of nature.  The Hawk is hungry and the wind from his wide wings takes the weak on Harry Hines.

 

Near Butler an old man pushes his wheelchair, stopping to rest in the ruts where a sidewalk was supposed to be..Safer than  to backtrack and try to cross the street where the crosswalks are target areas and another will be struck down.  It happened to him already…that old man in the cold hit on the green light off the Red Line and he went for help, leaving his wheelchair in the street to struggle up the hill for help.  He was beaten of course already from the wreck but he would be beaten more by the police who thought ‘just another bum’ and they took him to Green Oaks where he was beaten again by his room-head cell mate but from behind and kicked – another broken tooth, but what of it?  There is nothing to eat anyway.  Finally at the VA they cleaned up the old veteran but he would not receive another purple heart.  There were lots of those already and more he could not thank in countries where he never was doing things that never happened with men and women who were never there.

 

Down the dirt walk with the cranes circling overhead as if to protect him from the Hawk for a bit longer…On the concrete once more he sat back down in the wheelchair ‘home’ he made from parts …some from here…some from there…to make due instead of the nice fast one he had lost…lost along with clothes, cigarettes, pocket change…bus pass…ID.

 

He stopped again to smoke a last snipe [for the Reader, a ‘snipe’ is the tobacco taken from several un-smoked portions of multiple cigarette butts and re-rolled, usually in whatever paper that can be found, into a ‘new’ cigarette, or snipe] under the Red Shield that pray have room to protect him from the Hawk tonight.

 

 

 

When you see that ‘bell ringer’ smiling at his kettle, remember the Red Shield of the Salvation Army and the life they saved tonight…the lives and souls that they save every night from the cold winter wind the old men call the Hawk.

 

For others there will be no room at the inn and they will live or die as the lot is cast out on the street this Christmas.  It is a good day to die.”

Marital status: married with 3 children. Occupation: banker. Working at the auditing and accounting department, BANK OF AFRICA (B .O. A) Ouagadougou Burkina-Faso West Africa, with due respects and regard I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction. I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. I came to know you in my Private Search for a Reliable and Reputable Person to handle this Confidential Transaction, which involves the transfer of huge sum of Money to a Foreign Account requiring Maximum Confidence. During an annual auditing of Account's in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in a tragic plane crash on the Lenana Peak, Mount Kenya, Saturday, the 19th day of July, 2003 together with his wife Jean, three of their children and their spouses, and four grandchildren, since then his fund has been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in our custody either from his family or relation before discovery to this development. The said amount was U.S $8.2M (Eight million, two hundred thousand United States dollars).In fact I could have done this transaction alone but because of my position in the country as a civil servant (A Banker), we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eye brow on my side during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the next of kin with affidavits of trust of oath to the Bank and also present a foreign account where you will need the money to be transferred into on your request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from, to your own designation bank account. I will not fail to inform you that this transaction is 100% risk free. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 45% of the total sum as gratification, while 55% will be for me, also you have to understand that you and i will put hands together to make any expenses that will come up in this transaction and any expenses that you and I make will be deducted from the fund immediately the bank transfer the fund into your account before sharing. Please, you have been advice to keep "top secret" as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after I have concluded this transaction with you. I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any country you advice me to invest in. All other necessary, vital information will be sent to you when I hear from you. I look forward to receive your reply urgently. Show your readiness to assist me in this transaction by replying this proposal as early as possible and I want you to assure me of your capability of handling this transfer with trust by giving me the following information's about yourself: 1) Your age:............................... 2) Your occupation:....................... 3) Are you married?:............................... 4) Your mobile phone number.:............................... 5) Your location and full address. 6) Scan and send a copy of your identity card to me. :............................... 7) Your Fax Number: :............................... 8) Sex:.:............................... I will tell you how you can apply to the bank as soon as i receive your response towards this mail. Extend my greetings to your family and we should please try and have trust on each other in this transaction so that we shall achieve our aim together. Do not take this very transaction as a joke,I need your full co-operation to make this work fine.because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you. I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this transaction, so you reply and ask me how you can apply for the text of application form of claim of the deceased fund from the bank. It is the foreign remittance departments that are responsible for transference of fund into your account over there. KINDLY GET BACK TO ME WITH MY PRIVATE ADDRESS: di_alidu20@rocketmail.com Thanks yours, Mr. Diallo Alidu.

I am married to Mr. Manzoor Zulfakar who worked with Tunisia embassy in Burkina Faso for nine years before he died in the year 2008.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for five days.

Since his death I decided not to remarry, When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of US$ 8.2m(Eight million two hundred thousand dollars)in a bank in Ouagadougou the capital city of Burkina Faso in west Africa Presently this money is still in bank. He made this money available for exportation of Gold from Burkina Faso mining. Recently, My Doctor told me that I don't have much time to live because of the cancer problem,

Having known my condition I decided to hand you over this money to take care of the less-privileged people, you will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want you to take 30 Percent of the total money for your personal use While 70% of the money will go to charity" people and helping the orphanage.

I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by the Government. I grew up as an Orphan and I don't have anybody as my family member, just to Endeavour that the name of ALLAH is maintained. Am doing this so that ALLAH will forgive my sins and accept my soul because this sickness has suffered me so much.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Burkina Faso and I will send authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of the money in the bank that is if you assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.

LIVE...

www.Dance4One.blogspot.com

The article I posted a few days ago (http://www.dance4one.blogspot.com/2012/12/random-chaos-or-master-plan-authored-by.html) where I received a "random" text with a "Word for the Day" that read, LIVE...Live each moment to the fullest, as it might be your last, to hold someone, to kiss someone, to tell someone you love them!" does not only seem to be an eerie and foretelling proclamation, but is so much more significant and worth taking note of in light of the tragic events that began and ended within the first 20 minutes or so of "just another happy day" at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the small town of Newton, Connecticut this past Friday.  Various media outlets (including multiple YAHOO posts including http://news.yahoo.com/conn-school-victims-shot-rifle-multiple-times-205207737.html) have covered this sorrowful and tear-jerking event well so I will refrain from re-stating many of the unfolding and still unknown events and facts surrounding this surreal story, here, but wish to convey my deepest sorrow and grief with regard to the fate of these precious, precious little ones.

Stephanie Lanford in her Keepers of the Home Website (http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/01/children-are-a-blessing-from-the-lord.html) reminds us of Psalm 127:3-5 which says, "Children are a gift from the Lord: they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows in a warrior's hands. How happy is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates."

So even though my words or the words of any human being fall far short of saying anything remotely close to filling the tremendous void that has not only shaken these families, but the hearts of millions across the world, the words of the Lord of Hosts are a blessing and reward that ALL of us who choose to BELIEVE can bank on.

So I end today's post with a PROMISE to those BELIEVERS who remain and to ALL God's CHILDREN that have gone on before us:  We most assuredly can REST in KNOWING that not only will JUSTICE prevail in the end, but that we shall ONE DAY see, hold, kiss and tell you IN PERSON that we LOVE you once again!

The three WISE MEN...

www.Dance4One.blogspot.com

Last night I met THREE men who had EVERYTHING, but knew NOTHING, and saved me from a MAN who had NOTHING, but who knew EVERYTHING.  The THREE knew they did NOT have EVERYTHING, and that knowing NOTHING was EVERYTHING.  The ONE who had NOTHING, thought he had EVERYTHING, but did not realize that he knew NOTHING.  Thank you God for the THREE WISE MEN who saved me from NOTHING, yet gave me EVERYTHING.

Today I met a Stranger who quickly became my Friend...She did not have much, but she gave me what she had. What she HAD, is EXACTLY what I NEEDED. I had something too, but had forgotten what that was. She saw that something, and what I had forgotten that I had, she needed, so I naturally gave what I had to her. Thank you, FRIEND :-)

A Word for the Day...

by: Dan Getz/Dance4One Blogger
www.Dance4one.blogspot.com

As promised in yesterday's post, here is the WORD for TODAY...

Death from INSIDE is more to be FEARED, than Physical DEATH...But Do NOT stop there...Let the Fear invoke RESOLVE, ACTION and FORWARD MOTION...and more often than not, BOTH types of DEATH will be CIRCUMVENTED (which is "to avoid or get around by ARTFUL maneuvering"). Dan Getz/Dance4One, October 31, 2011

 

This is not only a WORD for TODAY, but I believe a WORD to LIVE by...In the context of ETERNITY, Life is but a VAPOR...Here TODAY...and Gone TOMORROW.  Can Physical Death be avoided?  Not usually.  But as for ME, I would rather be LIVING among the DYING or DEAD, than to be DYING or DEAD amongst the LIVING...

 

...because while I have seen a LIVING man impart LIFE to a DYING man, I've never seen a DEAD man bring LIFE to ANYONE.

 

So Sonny, your brother (or sister) suggested "I" choose YOU for TOMORROW's Word of the Day when he texted me saying, "Ok who do you pick next, I think it should [sic] your uncle sonny.  So Sonny (or ANYONE who wishes to become part of the FAMILY) it's up to YOU to CHOOSE a Word for the DAY for TOMORROW's Post...

Random Chaos or Master Plan Authored by ONE Master DESIGNER?

by Dan Getz/Dance4One Blogger
www.Dance4One.blogspot.com

Have you ever thought about how BOTH the Big Bang THEORY and the THEORY of Creation are exactly that...THEORIES?  But more often than not, the public education system within the United States of America touts Creationism as a bunch of lies and fairy tales (if Creationism is even mentioned or included in the text books and lectures at all) and teaches the Big Bang THEORY as a matter of FACT.

This was not always the case.  Even 15 or 20 years ago when Creationism was finally allowed to be included in the text books and taught by teachers, it was at least taught ALONGSIDE  Evolution (another THEORY) as an additional THEORY.  However, over time nearly an entire generation (or perhaps even two or three) of young people either do not even know about God or Creationism, or laugh off CREATIONISM and the existence of God as a big joke that could not possibly contain a single element of truth.

But I will refrain (for now) from going into a tireless charade of opinionated arguments that more often than not, ultimately land both sides at exactly the same place each started at...except for being a little more frustrated and further convinced that their THEORY is the one that should be considered as a matter of FACT.

The reason and inspiration of this blog post came from a "random" text message I received on Sunday that read, "My brother Sonny thought it would be a good idea to a word of the day, he ask me to go first then I would choose the next person etc. But you have to reply all [sic]". 

Now I knew immediately that I did NOT know any Sonny and therefore most certainly did not know Sonny's brother, but rather than immediately texting this "friend" and informing him that he had obviously texted someone other than the intended recipient, I decided to "play along" and texted the following response:

"So WHAT is the word of the day?"  Sonny's brother went on to communicate not only what his inspired Word of the Day was, but that I was next on the list to communicate my Word of the Day to the rest of the "family" with the same instructions to "Reply All [sic]".  Sonny's Word of the Day was as follows:

"OK since I'm first my word is LIVE, Live each moment to the fullest, as it might be your last, to hold someone, to kiss someone, to tell someone you love them!"

I went on to ultimately communicate that I received his word, agreed full heartedly with the TRUTH of this word, and after sharing my Word of the Day for TOMORROW, that I was admittedly not this individual's nephew (as he still assumed I was) to which he rapidly responded...

"Welcome to the family".

So for now I leave you with at least several thoughts/questions to think about today, THREE of which are:

1) Is there truly a God who is ALIVE and has an interest in ME? 2) I most certainly have received A VERY GOOD Word of the Day for TODAY and 3) I KNOW there will DEFINITELY be a WORD for TOMORROW, but what about After that if Sonny's brother (or sister) or Dan with Dance4One fail to continue with the same SYNERGY, PASSION, and DEPENDABILITY of their first communication?

Much of the answers lie on what YOU and I do with what we have received TODAY and what we CHOOSE to do tomorrow.  If you have an awe-inspiring TRUTH you have either heard or KNOW to be TRUE through your own EXPERIENCE, feel free to post it on my FACEBOOK page (Dan Getz or Dance4One) or in the COMMENTS section at the end of this POST.  I, and the WORLD, would love to hear from YOU and DO whatever it takes to get us FURTHER and to a BETTER-OFF place than where we ARE right now TODAY.

This story from the Daily Star confirms and provides the details of the earlier BREAKING NEWS story from Dance4One who was FIRST to report the incident approximately eleven hours ago.

Road Crash

Mayhem over DU student's death

Protesters smash vehicles, set fire to police box

Shards litter a street near Shahbagh intersection in the capital last night after a mob went on the rampage in the area following the death of a Dhaka University student under the wheels of a bus. The mob torches a police box,top right , and vandalises a bus. The violence spread fast to almost all the roads on and around the campus, resulting in long tailbacks. Traffic stood still on Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue,the city's main thoroughfare, even at 1:00am today. People heading home after work got stuck in jams or waited hours at bus stops for transport. Photo: STARStaff Correspondent

A Dhaka University student was killed in a road crash in the capital's Shahbagh yesterday, sparking violent protests from fellow students that left at least 60 vehicles damaged.

The dead, Towhid Zaman, was a second-year student at international relations department, and hailed from Karimganj upazila of Kishoreganj.

He was hit by a bus of Rajdhani Paribahan when he and another DU student were crossing the Shahbagh intersection around 4:30pm, witnesses said.

The other student, Faisal Mahmud of history department, escaped with minor injuries.

Towhid was first rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital and later shifted to Green Life Hospital at Panthapath where he died around 6:30pm.

His body was sent to his village home for burial without autopsy, said DU Proctor MA Ali.

Police arrested Anwar Hossain, driver of the bus, at the spot.

As the death news spread, several hundred DU students of different dormitories took to the streets and went on the rampage on various city roads for about three hours since 8:00pm.

They set fire to a bus and vandalised dozens of vehicles at Shahbagh, Hotel Ruposhi Bangla intersection, Banglamotor, Kataban, Elephant Road, Bata Signal, Nilkhet, New Market, Palashi and Chankharpul areas, causing immense sufferings to commuters.

The agitating students also set fire to a police box at Shahbagh intersection.

Panicked, commuters ran to and fro for shelter.

Traffic on both sides of the roads stood still till 11:00pm. The jam spilled over also to Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue, Farmgate, Mohakhali, Asad Gate and Mirpur Road.

No police personnel were seen till 11:30pm to calm the demonstrating students. The law enforcers appeared on the scene only after the students had left the streets.

A correspondent of The Daily Star found the main entrance to the Shahbagh Police Station locked from the inside and its lights turned off around 10:00pm. The picture was the same at the Shahbagh Police Control Room.

During the rampage, a Dhaka University student, Sayed Bari, was shot in the leg at Elephant Road around 9:30pm. He was admitted to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

As of filing this report at 2:30am today, it was unclear who shot him.

Another DU student, Shamima Sultana, was slightly injured as a private car hit her at Shahbagh around 9:30pm.

Patsy Morgan, wife of PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE A. Zombie Interviewed by DANgerous with Dance4One

Reporting from El Centro College,
Dallas, TX, "DANgerous" with
www.Dance4One.blogspot.com
August 24, 2012, 2:10 p.m. CST

Around 1:45 pm CST Presidential Candidate A. Zombie was spotted getting out of a Black Suburban in the vicinity of St. Paul and Bryan Streets in Downtown Dallas, TX.  At least one unidentified TV CREW captured the sighting, along with several by-standers who willing and readily took advantage of the opportunity for a photo shoot with A. Zombie and his wife, Mrs. Patsy Morgan.

When Mrs. Patsy Morgan was asked the following question by "DANgerous" with Dance4One, "What is the campaign message that your husband, A. Zombie is most passionate about and wants Americans everywhere to know?", she responded, "I'm not sure you are aware of it or not, but Dish Network haas arbitrarily decided to pull AMC programming that includes shows like 'The Walking Dead".  We believe that if you want to watch a show with Zombies in it, you have the right to do that, on the network or programming vehicle of your choice.  Furthermore, if a network, like Dish Network refuses to provide the programming that their subscribers want, they should leave that company and seek another who will listen to the voice of their customers."

Dan Getz, aka "DANgerous" then asked Mrs. Morgan this question, "Does A. Zombie have any international aspirations to run for a position of leadership in any other countries beside the United States because Dance4One is currently read in 60+ Nations?" to which she responded, "No, not at this time, at least not now, anyway."

After a couple more photos and shots from the TV camera crew, both Mr. A. Zombie and Mrs. Patsy Morgan climbed back into the Black Suburban and drove away to an unspecified destination.  However, after clicking on their campaign site at www.azombieforpresident.com/ Dan Getz found their tour stop schedule to be the following: San Diego, CA on 8-20-12, Dallas, TX on 8-24-12 (Today, making Dallas, TX the SECOND scheduled tour stop), Tampa, FL on 8-28-12, Atlanta, GA on 9-1-12, Charlotte, NC on 9-3-12 and New York, NY on 9-5-12. 

Mr. Getz with Dance4One then spontaneously decided to announce the GIVE AWAY of one FREE T-Shirt from his and partner, Shared Vision's Christian T-Shirts Plus by Dance4One & Shared Vision company (www.CafePress.com/ChristianTShirtsPlusByDance4one/) to ONE person from EACH city that EMAILS (Dance4One11@yahoo.com) a photo or video of A. Zombie, or his wife Mrs. Patsy Morgan while they are campaigning in one of the above cities they have listed in their tour stop schedule.  Details of this FREE T-Shirt GIVE AWAY will be posted soon on www.Dance4One.blogspot.com, FACEBOOK (Dan Getz, Dance4One, Christian T-Shirts Plus by Dance4One & Shared Vision) and Twitter @ Dance4One.

For more details on Mr. A. Crombie's Campaign Platform, please be sure to read the letter below from their website at www.AZombieForPresident.com, visit their website, and ASK them when they stop in YOUR city.

Dear DISH Subscriber:
Did you know that AMC just received the most Emmy nominations of any basic cable channel? 34 nominations for shows like “Breaking Bad”, “Mad Men”, “The Walking Dead” and “Hell on Wheels”. Yet despite the popularity and demand for these shows, DISH continues to black out AMC, IFC, WE tv, and Sundance Channel. To add insult to injury, DISH continues to charge you for them; you just no longer receive them.

DISH’s decision to drop AMC, WEtv, IFC and Sundance Channel had nothing to do with our fees, or our shows. In fact, unlike almost every other dispute you see between providers and programmers, and despite DISH’s misleading claims to the contrary, this is not about fees.

The simple truth is that DISH is using their consumers as pawns to attempt to gain leverage in a lawsuit involving an old and unrelated business venture that has nothing to do with AMC, nothing to do with our shows or fees, and certainly nothing to do with DISH subscribers, who just want to watch the shows they love and are paying DISH for. You will not see any AMC Networks’ shows on DISH any time soon.

In other words, since DISH’s reason for depriving you of AMC programming is based on a lawsuit that won’t be resolved for a long time, this problem won’t be solved shortly, unlike other disputes between programmers and providers, which typically are resolved in a matter of days (weeks at most).

If you want to watch “Breaking Bad”,” Hell on Wheels”, “The Walking Dead”, and “Mad Men”, you will have to switch TV providers. We can help you do that. The good news is, every other cable, phone and satellite company — except DISH — carries AMC in their basic package. Many providers are offering special incentives for people to switch. Call now at 1-855-2-DROP-DISH (1-855-237-6734) and let us help you gain access to the shows your friends and neighbors are watching.

We can help you regain access to AMC, IFC, Sundance Channel and WE tv by calling the above number, visiting www.switchfromdish.com or contacting us on Twitter @AMC_Assist.
Thank you for your support of our shows and our networks. We want you to be able to watch the TV you love, and we’ll do whatever we can to help make that possible.

Sincerely,
AMC Networks

This FACEBOOK exchange took place a few moments ago.  Please be aware that an IMPOSTER of Dan Getz at best and a HACKER at worst is sending out emails indicating they are Dan Getz on behalf of Dance4One, and are in need of a significant amount of funds to be wired to "him" directly.

"This is absolutely false," Getz has empathetically stated.  "Someone is obviously using my name and website to appeal to the emotions of people who know me.  There is NO sad news.  In fact, I have GREAT NEWS.  Tomorrow at Thanksgiving Square, at Ervay Street and Pacific in downtown Dallas, TX I and three other fantastic vocalists will be performing LIVE between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. as 'AWESOME PRAISE'.  In fact, we are trying now to schedule this event EVERY Thursday thereafter for the next couple weeks, and maybe even the next couple of months where local vocalists, dancers, artists and musicians will be featured in the AWESOME PRAISE BAND & CHIOR."

The exchange on FACEBOOK between Sharon Roni Ellis, the friend who received one of these emails and alerted Dan Getz of this, and Dan Getz was as follows:

Pakistani Christians, fearing backlash, flee community after girl is accused of blasphemy

Reposted by Dan Getz,

The Washington Post



Amir Qureshi/AFP/Getty Images - Young Pakistani Muslims walk past the closed house of Rimsha, a Christian girl who has been arrested on blasphemy charges, in Islamabad, Pakistan. Pakistan's president called on officials Monday to explain the arrest of the girl for allegedly burning pages inscribed with verses from the Koran.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Everyone in the teeming, tense community of Muslims and Christians just outside Islamabad seems to have a different story about the young girl and the Koran.
The 12-year-old Christian deliberately burned the Muslim holy book, some say. No, she innocently put pages from a non-sacred teaching text into the trash, say others, and nothing was burned. Still another version holds that an older Muslim boy planted pages of the Koran for the cleaning girl to find and then leveled the accusation of desecration because she had spurned him.

Amid the conflicting claims, this much is certain: As many as 600 Christians have fled their colony bordering the capital, fearing for their lives, officials said, after a mob last week called for the child to be burned to death as a blasphemer.
The girl, who authorities have described as mentally challenged, sits in jail in Rawalpindi, charged by police with blasphemy, while her family has been put in federal protective custody. The evidence against her is muddled at best, but police said they arrested her in part to assuage the mob and also because they knew she would be safer in jail.

“The one who burned the Koran should be burned,” said Shaukhat Ali, an assistant at the local mosque, expressing a sentiment shared by many Muslims in the community.
Under Pakistani law, those found guilty of defaming the Islamic prophet Muhammad face the death penalty, while defiling the Koran can bring a life sentence. The case of the girl is the fourth in recent months to alarm human rights advocates, who say the law is frequently used to persecute Christians and also has been unfairly applied to the mentally ill — including some Muslims.

Liberal-to-moderate Pakistanis see the rise in blasphemy allegations as a reflection of a dangerous ascent of extremism and anti-Western sentiment throughout society.
“Most of the people consider the Christians here to represent the West,” said Paul Bhatti, who heads the Ministry of National Harmony — a post created after his younger brother, Shahbaz Bhatti, a Catholic and minority affairs minister, was assassinated last year by the Pakistani Taliban for advocating reform of the blasphemy laws.

Shahbaz Bhatti was the second prominent politician killed in 2011 for his opposition to the laws: Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab province, was gunned down by a member of his security retinue who immediately confessed and was widely celebrated in Pakistan for defending Islam.
Christians are easy targets for false claims by accusers with ulterior motives. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari took “serious note” of the girl’s arrest, said a spokesman, who quoted him as saying, “Blasphemy by anyone cannot be condoned, but no one will be allowed to misuse the blasphemy law for settling personal scores.”
In an interview Sunday night at his heavily guarded office in Islamabad, Bhatti said such allegations are usually leveled against the poor and the powerless. The 50-year-old physician said he has drawn no firm conclusions about the girl’s case but knows one thing: Even if cleared, she and her family can never return to their home.

“If she is not guilty, some can understand and they can forgive,” he said. “But there are people who just want to have death.”
The slum where the 12-year-old lived is typical of other desperately poor Christian enclaves in and around the comparatively prosperous capital. Many Christians live in lean-tos and toil as trash pickers or wood scavengers.

The incident involving the girl happened Thursday afternoon, evidently while she was gathering trash — but beyond that, everything is in dispute. Some locals claim to have witnessed her and her mother burning the entire Koran.
But Tahir Muhammad, a 30-year-old shop owner and landlord, said the girl found just one page of the holy book while cleaning a house, mixed it with other papers and burned it.

A 10-year-old neighborhood girl said she saw the whole thing and took the ashes to the mosque — with no pages of the Koran extant. In interviews Sunday, two men at the mosque said that only ashes remained and that the imam mixed in some pages himself before turning over the “evidence” to police.
“Somebody must be confused when they said pages were mixed in — no such thing happened,” Imam Hafiz Muhammad Zubair said Monday. He said community leaders decided to turn the girl and her mother over to police for their safety.
“Both the women confessed to us that they had indeed burned the Koran,” he said.

Various tellings of the incident spread Friday to other mosques. Some outside religious leaders and locals encouraged Muslims to converge on the Christian enclave, but others counseled restraint, said Bhatti, who talked with several clerics.
An estimated 500 to 1,000 Muslims, including many outsiders, turned out Friday to demand punishment for the alleged blasphemer, blocking a nearby highway and burning tires. The mob also menaced police.
Other Muslims, who said they count Christians among their friends, said they oppose vigilantism. But, they said, if the girl is found guilty, the Christians must leave for good.

“The people here are not extremists,” said Asad Riaz, a worshiper in his late 20s who was at the mosque Sunday evening, “but this has provoked them.”
The imam sounded a note of conciliation, but with conditions. “It isn’t really those poor folks’ fault,” Zubair said, “but we will wait and see what the official verdict against her is — and if they are guilty, then decide accordingly.”
Over the weekend, Bhatti said, hundreds of residents of the Christian enclave began to migrate to other colonies in Islamabad, where they have remained. Authorities said they could not guarantee their safety if they return.
Some Christians who stayed in the area said shopkeepers are refusing to sell them food and have issued threats.

“They said they will burn our house down if we don’t leave,” said a 17-year-old who lived near the accused girl’s family. “They are also saying that since a woman burned the Koran, they will come after our women now.”
He and his cousin, perched nervously on a motorbike, would soon be migrating to Islamabad, too, they said, before taking off into the night.
