It is sad that Pakistan has supported the position of China in its criticism of Nobel committee in awarding Nobel peace prize to Liu Xiaobo.
Liu is in prison for developing Chater 08 a documented created to set Chinese agenda to promote freedom of religion,conscience and thought in china .350 Chinese and many thousands people worldwide had signed the document in solidarity with the Chinese conscience fighters.Chinese courts gave him 11 year jail for this action .Liu is hero of Tienanmen Square uprising particularly important leader to diffuse the torsion and avoid blood shed.
I guess China does not like any leader religious political which is not approved and sanctioned by the party.It can not tolerate independent thinker like LIu Xiaobo.
Pakistan had only one Nobel Laureate .First Muslim Nobel laureate Mr Abdus Salam .Dr Abdus Salam belonged to Ahmadiya sect .Sadly a 1974 law of Pakistan had declared Ahmadiya's non Muslim in Islamic republic of the pure the Pakistan .After Dr Salams death his body was buried in Pakistan and on his grave a marker was placed stating he was the first Muslim Nobel laureate .Some body went to court and got the judgement that he being Ahmadiya was not Muslim and court agreed and ordered the word Muslim should be removed from his grave stone and was done so.
No respect for Chinese Peace prize winner can be expected from Pakistani Government when they treated its honored son so badly.
ANY NATION WHICH FAILS TO RESPECT ITS THINKERS AND FAILS TO HONOR OUTSTANDING SCIENTISTS AND LEADERS IS DOOMED TO FAILURE .SADLY PAKISTAN IS ON ITS TRAGIC PATH.
PS:Corrections in the name to charter 08 and number of signatories have been made after fact checking with wiki.Concept of charter 08 was based on charter 77 presented in 1977 by dissidents in Czeckoslovakia.Agreeing to universal principals by host governments was the basis for documents.

Ahmadiyya mosques attacked by terrorists in name of Islam
Pakistan has a sad history.Only Pakistani to win Nobel prize was an Ahmadi named DR.Abdus Salam .Here is a short excerpt from Wikipedia.
"Abdus Salam was a devout Muslim, and a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community[9], who saw his religion as integral to his scientific work. He once wrote: "The Holy Quran enjoins us to reflect on the verities of Allah's created laws of nature; however, that our generation has been privileged to glimpse a part of His design is a bounty and a grace for which I render thanks with a humble heart."[5]
During his acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize in Physics, Salam quoted the following verses from the Quran:
“ Thou seest not, in the creation of the All-merciful any imperfection, Return thy gaze, seest thou any fissure. Then Return thy gaze, again and again. Thy gaze, Comes back to thee dazzled, aweary. ”
He then said:
“ This, in effect, is the faith of all physicists; the deeper we seek, the more is our wonder excited, the more is the dazzlement for our gaze.[10] ”
In 1974, when the Parliament of Pakistan declared Ahmadis to be non-Muslims, he left Pakistan for London in protest.
Ahmadi web site also talks about its founder Mirza Gulam Ahmad from Kadian. It states
He divested Islam of fanatical beliefs and practices by vigorously championing Islam’s true and essential teachings. He also recognized the noble teachings of the great religious founders and saints, including Zoroasteras, Abrahamas, Mosesas, Jesusas, Krishnaas, Buddhaas, Confuciusas, Lao Tzu and Guru Nanak, and explained how such teachings converged into the one true Islam.
It is sad to mention that When Pakistan Declared that Ahmadiyya non muslim by constitution in Pakistan ,Mr Abdus Salam left Pakistan in protest.He never returned.
After his death his body was returned to Pakistan and was interned in a grave next to his parents.
The inscription read "First Muslim Nobel Laureate".
The parties which may be very powerful could not accept this and by court order had the words Muslim erased.Such is the state of affairs in Pakistan.
It is routine to see policemen chiseling away sayings of Quran from Musjids of Ahmadis.They do not realize that they are destroying words in praise of Allah for the arrogance.
I AM AFRAID IN PRESENT ENVIRONMENT IN PAKISTAN HOPE OF A PEACEFUL MULTIFAITH MODERN SOCIETY IS DIMINISHED BY THIS TRAGEDY.
