Ordinare un tea in the wrong place
Giulio Meotti
Imagine you are traveling in a bus route in the valley of the Pakistani Punjab. You stop for a stop at an inn along the road. Come in and order a tea. Then go to pay and the owner of the restaurant notes that carried the cross around his neck, because you are one of the many Christians in Pakistan, as the former Bishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali. The guy calls some Islamist thugs, they tell you that the entrance of the room there was a sign that warned: "Here we serve only Muslims." Your guilt is putting his mouth in a tea cup reserved for Muslims. So start hitting you with sticks and stones, you beg for mercy. Die shortly after the injury.
It 'really happened to a young Pakistani Christian, Ishtiaq Masih. Meanwhile, in Rome, the cardinals if they were holed up in their palaces, silent on the martyrdom of every day. Israel yesterday wrote me a dear friend, Avner, wondering how it was possible that the Vatican remained silent when similar events occur. I told him that for me has become more valuable Ishtiaq Masih's story, her beg for mercy, his tiny silhouette with that of crocin wood neck, a few of the many empty words of high priest overweight, perhaps progressive and ringed gold.
