Director National Commission for Justice and Peace and Priest of Catholic Church in Pakistan Emmanuel Yousaf Mani has demanded withdrawal of a statement by Interior Minister Rehman Malik in which he drew a parallel between Holy Father and Tehrik Minhajul Quran chief Dr Tahirul Qadri.
Yousaf termed the remark unnecessary and provocative as there is no comparison or link between the two personalities. While Pope (Benedict XVI) is an undisputed leader of the Catholic Church, the largest faith group in the world, the credentials of Dr Qadri are prerogative of Pakistanis and Muslims to ascertain. On the other hand the Pope has neither a political role nor ambitions in the 21st century states.
“We as a Christian community of Pakistan feel deeply angered by such statements maligning the office and the position of Papacy. We demand an apology from Rehman Malik, who is otherwise assigned a responsible task and request him to avoid any such remarks in the future. We also appeal to all leaders to keep the dissent and political battles within the limits of decency because uncanny remarks do not reflect the better part of democratic culture”, he said.
“The religious minorities have always stood with the movements for democracy and human rights and would be always strive to work for democracy and justice in Pakistan”, he said.
Rehman Malik is a fool who has no concept of decency. He should apologise to the Christian community for his offensive words.But only because he (miraculously) happens to be in such a public position. Otherwise, no one should take an ounce of notice of what the man says.
Sorry brothers and sisters, we also condemn any remark against your faith.
Mr Malik is a fool and behind all the bombings!
No problem. No body better (read worse) than Rehman Malik in this country to apologize or back track as soon as the opportunity comes. Just don't understand the forces behind him to make him continue in this position after all what he is (in)famous for.
illiterate people speak first than think later on but this guy cannot even think

Arguments presented by a Jiala in favor of Rehman Malik
It should be clear this idiot cannot think & the only reason he was made a minister is that he is good at talking rubbish nobody understands & the rest of PPP 'leadership' was too stoned to stand up.
Rehman Malik is a BafooooN, a Joker. He really has insulted THE POPE the Holy Spritual Leader of the global Roman Catholics Christians. He must appologise. Morover this BafoooN must leave Pakistan for ever.
