Flooding, aid and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan

The Telegraph report that:
'Pakistan relief organisations 'discriminating against Christian flood victims'

Relief organisations in Pakistan are discriminating against Christians when they distribute flood aid, the Vatican said on Friday, as one million more people were displaced by fresh floods.

Christians and members of other minority religions are being treated as second-class citizens, said Father Mario Rodrigues, the Lahore-based director of Catholic Mission.

"They often receive little assistance or are excluded altogether," he told Fides, the Vatican's news agency.

Aid is being delivered by "government officials sympathetic to Islamic fundamentalism or by Muslim relief organisations", Fides claimed in its report, citing other unnamed aid workers.

About 200,000 Christians in Punjab province and about 600,000 Christians and Hindus in Sindh province have been affected by weeks of monsoon rain.'
An Islamic country (or its representatives) discriminating against Kuffars; how surprising. Of course the BBC have not reported this story presumably fearing that it might further reduce the propensity for British Christians to send aid to one of their favourite Islamic states.

Do note that Pakistan is formally known as the Islamic State of Pakistan but it is Israel that the BBC love to attack for being an 'apartheid state'.

The Pakistani government probably bet on who gets the aid.

Since the British Government decided to give a huge sum in aid, forcibly taken from its citizens in the form of taxation, I feel no obligation to give anything else. The corruption in Pakistan is clear to all and particularly so to anyone who has visited the country Yesterday's cricket news is just the tip of the iceberg - Isn't their President known as "Mr10%" ? I imagine that most of the aid will sold on the black market and end up as cash in Swiss banks.
Any of the Arab Oil countries could, single handedly, provide more than enough aid without even missing it, but I've yet to see how much Saudi Arabia or the Gulf States are providing for their fellow Muslims.
I was taught "Charity begins at Home" and I'm sticking to this rule.
