Our judges are as corrupt as our polticians.
These 13 should have been punished by now.

Justice system in Pakistan is joke and these so called judges are afraid of making right decision.
These judges are too scared of extremists and will never do justice with non muslim minorities.
I would have killed hundreds to protect innocent and poor Christians and I would have never let this tragedy happened at any cost.

Money talks, man ! How much those judges got paid? Not only they were freed on bail, they may also have been provided free ticket to Dubai for a safe exit. If the case had been reverse, and the arrested were Christians accused of destroying Muslim homes, they would have been hanged by now on the same court's orders. This is "Pakistani justice"!!
