The Supreme Court of Pakistan is finally scheduled to hear Asia Bibi’s case in just five days. Asia, a Christian mother of five, has been in prison for seven years for allegations of blasphemy, facing execution by hanging. Her co-workers alleged that she blasphemed the Prophet Muhammad’s name.
According to Pakistan’s constitution, all laws must be consistent with Sharia, Islamic law. True to its constitution, Pakistan’s penal code punishes any insult to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad with the death penalty.
Asia’s crime was to offer water to two women who were picking berries with her at a farm. The two women told Asia they would not drink water from her because she was ceremonially unclean as she was a Christian, and then demanded that Asia convert to Islam. Asia refused and reaffirmed her faith in Christ. Then an argument ensued. Five days later, a local cleric went to the police and accused Asia of blasphemy.
After a trial full of errors, the court sentenced Asia to death in November 2010. Four years later, the Lahore High Court upheld her conviction. Asia’s new counsel, Saif ul Malook, filed an appeal with the Supreme Court noting multiple errors in the case.

Pardon me, but I’m praying for an end to the oppressive cult of Islam and for the swift end to anyone promoting that evil demon-worshipping affront to decency.
Surely Obama will intervene.
Seriously, prayers for this faithful woman.
Yes, indeed.
And I can't help but remark that if Trump were president, this case would not go unnoticed. If Trump could not get her out, he'd make Pakistan pay a heavy, heavy price for executing her.
Ya know you can pray for both.
Mohammed was Charlie Manson without the humanity, only with more money and less musical talent. Except that Charlie Manson, as far as we know, never raped any children.
And to those who respond by saying "violence has been committed in the name of all religions through the centuries," I ask: "How many people did Jesus kill? How many slaves did Jesus own? How many women did Jesus rape?"
The Five Pillars of Islam:
Murder
Slavery
Rape
Torture
War
Sorry, liberals. There's only 1 interpretation of Islam — Muhammad's
Where the hell is the UN? Screwing children and selling oil....
I will pray for her.
I will also pray that people will realize that Islam is evil and must be extirpated from this earth.
We have given 47 BILLION dollars to Pakistan since its foundation.
Don’t we even get to intervene to save the lives of Christians who are condemned (mostly falsely) on charges of “blasphemy” against Islam?
Prayers up for Asia!
And (from the British Pakistani Christian Association)
“16 year old Nabeel a resident of Kasur in Punjab Province was charged with a blasphemy . . . [supposedly for posting an internet picture which hurt the feelings of muslims]
“So now this beleaguered Christian teen faces death by hanging for something posted on his FB wall, most of us in the west find it incredulous.
“But if you were outside Pakistani courts of Pattoki today you would have felt the venomous zeal of the thousands of Muslims ready to pounce on Nabeel with ropes ready to lynch a ‘filthy Christian.’ The place was heaving with Islamic clerics calling for the blood of a blasphemer.
“In true form the Pakistani Police ignored the incitement towards hatred and continued to lead Nabeel through the terrible baying. . . Nabeel physically shook as he wept on his way to the court, the fear in his eyes a palpable indication that hope for justice was bleak.”
Another:
“Six men and a woman known locally by the family who were armed with guns, sticks and metal poles began to beat the family asking them to convert to Islam or die. Despite the pain and threats to their lives the family stayed resolute to their Christian faith and refused to convert. This incensed the Muslim attackers even more.
“All the family members were tied up and blindfolded but two of them 20 year old Arif and 17 year old Jameela were kidnapped and dragged into a van outside.
“The two of them were taken to an unknown building and tortured but Arif refused to convert to Islam. He could here her screaming and was told by his captors that they were taking turns raping his sister and that all he had to do to save her was to convert to Islam, but still he refused though in great anguish for her.
(snip)
” Local Kasur police refused to investigate the allegation of violence and the kidnapped daughter Jameela is still missing.
(snip)
“... a Muslim NGO release[ed] a report that estimates 700 Christian girls are kidnapped, raped and forced into Islamic marriage every year.”
Prayers for her.
Islam is evil and Mohammed was a pedophile rapist thug.
Yup, this Christian just “blasphemed” your cult and its founder by telling the truth about both. On purpose.
Come try to get me, Muslimes. Note that I live in Texas, and like most Texans, I am always armed and well practiced with my arms.
Oh, we could, but Obama is on the side of the Muslimes. Just look at the “refugee” stats for proof.
God is patient, but eventually the cries of the martyrs will move Him to act. Revelations is clear about this. Then woe be unto the scum.
Prayers sent and petition signed.
The Anti-Christ is not one man, it is all of islam and their willing Acolytes ....
Ditto that.
Did you see where two churches in San Antonio were defaced with “”Islam or die” and some strange graphic?
Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking Trump is some superhero. There is no way he is going to start interfering in domestic legal matters of other countries unless perhaps the accused is a US citizen. No way in hell. He has already firmly staked out an anti-interventionist stance.
