'Pakistani police arrested dozens of men on Tuesday on charges of attacking a police station in a bid to lynch two brothers held in custody accused of desecrating a Muslim mosque, officials said.

A mob broke into the police station on the outskirts of the capital Islamabad on Monday ahead of an hours-long standoff with police.

Some 36 have been arrested and charged with attacking the station under anti-terrorism laws. Police took the brothers, accused of blasphemy, to safety along with some wounded officials, police said.

"Give us the accused. We will decide what to do with them," police officer Asim Ghaffar quoted the mob as saying. "They said they wanted to behead the accused."'

Personally I say good on the police for standing up to a bunch of bloodthirsty criminals.

In my opinion

A bit surprised by your interest in Pakistan. It is a failed state. I normally ignore news from Pakistan.

Yeah, we don't need to hear about every horrible thing happening there. It's just the norm there.

There are certain folk on RF who have failed to ask themselves the question, "Why is Pakistan a failed state?" Then come to the obvious conclusion - Because they chose to interfere with the free competition of ideas and protect themselves from the free competition of ideas.

I would assert that those certain folk need constant reminder of why Pakistan is a failed state till they get it so they don't attempt to repeat the failure elsewhere in otherwise healthy states.

In my opinion.
