Religion of Pieces

Pakistan's federal minorities minister Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian, has been assassinated for speaking out against that country's blasphemy laws which are used as a tool against Christians and other minorities.

Though there was no claim of responsibility for the killing, fliers found scattered on the road near the scene bore the names of what appeared to be two Islamist militant groups - the Al-Qaeda Organization and the Pakistani Taliban Punjab. The fliers condemned Bhatti as an "infidel, a cursed one" and said others who demonstrate "support of blasphemers" would meet the same fate.

We aren't at war with Islam, but they certainly are with us.
