"Tens of thousands of people lost their lives in the earthquake and hundreds of thousands lost everything they had," he said. "Going without alcohol is a small sacrifice toward a very good cause."

What f*cking good would going without a pint do? Absolutely none!

The law in Pakistan only bars Muslims from drinking alcohol. There is even a state-licensed brewery. The Dutch Minister in your story should research his subject before shooting his mouth off, then apologise to the Brits and Spanish and then fly in some beer for his own troops.

Just my 5.5% by volume's worth...

p.s. You might like to do a bit of research as well, Jacqui... :p

The Spanish and British troops are there to help out Pakistan, and if a little beer helps them unwind after their day's work is done, then more power to them. If the government of Pakistan tells them to quit, then I don't blame them if they pack up and head back home. However, I think that Pakistan appreciates their help and does not begrudge their drinking.

Perhaps Pakistan needs to loosen up and allow all people to choose for themselve if the want to drink beer, not just the non-Muslims. Otherwise, what they do now is regulating the religious practices of people. That is better left to individuals to decide for themselves and let it be between them and their imams and mullahs.

that you have no respect for?

If I pass a law saying you can't wear black anymore, you would not respect this law because you don't belive in it.

Same goes here.

Kind of surprised that you are against their rights being infringed on because of someone elses religious values?

When our army travels about it carries Britain about with it. Always has, as lots and lots of people found out. At least we haven't planted a flag there and decided it's ours this time, so we do learn.

I do not want to be shot thank you, I respect other faiths but unfortunatly other faiths do not respect ours, for example we can no longer call christmas "christmas" it is now called celebration day, various child songs are banned because they might offend the minority, many stupid rules are now in place and are taking our identity away as a british christian country so don't preach to me get yor facts right.

Interesting must visit, what planet is it on again or do I need a time machine to get there ?

Practicing christians are a minority, compared to the rest of us, religious or otherwise.

May be we should swap populations then we could have some decent spinners.
