The statement is made to highlight the fact that the pakistanis are not acting in a very muslim manner of protecting its minorities - and thereby derogating one of the fundamental principles for the creation of the state of pakistan.

I doubt there is anyone here who can dispute the fact that the recent fate of the christian community has been bleak. churches being burnt by stupid illiterate of fundamentalistic mobs. I can totally understand the guys concerns - if you can guarantee safety and religious freedom to the christian minority - then they are better off handling those issues themselves.

After all - thats why we had the two nation theory.
