A PAKISTANI court has sentenced to death a Christian mother-of-five for blasphemy, the first such conviction of a woman and sparking protests from rights groups overnight. Asia Bibi, 45, was sentenced on Tuesday by a local court in Nankana district in Pakistan's central province Punjab, about 75km west of the country's cultural capital of Lahore.
Pakistan has yet to execute anyone for blasphemy, but the case spotlights the Muslim country's controversial laws on the subject which rights activists say encourages Islamist extremism in a nation wracked by Taliban attacks.
Asia's case dates back to June 2009 when she was asked to fetch water while out working in the fields.
But a group of Muslim women labourers objected, saying that as a non-Muslim, she should not touch the water bowl.
A few days later the women went to a local cleric and alleged that Asia made made derogatory remarks about the Prophet Mohammed.
The cleric went to local police, who opened an investigation.
She was arrested in Ittanwalai village and prosecuted under Section 295 C of the Pakistan Penal Code, which carries the death penalty.
Sentencing her to hang, Judge Naveed Iqbal "totally ruled out" any chance that Asia was falsely implicated and said there were "no mitigating circumstances", according to a copy of the verdict seen by Agence-France Presse.

What decent society wouldn’t want to be at war with such a “religion”, Mr President?
This all sounds completely reasonable to me. What’s the fuss?
Well, at least the UN is focused on the real Human Rights violators; the US
From Mindinao in the Philippines to the Moluccas in Indonesia, and from the Arakan to Nigeria in Africa the Muslims are at war with Chritians, Jews and those who practice native religions. Muslims should never be allowed a home in the United States because Islam will never condone the freedom of religious practice.
Injustice, inhumanity, torture, murder.....
the hallmarks of a religion of peace.
Pray for this woman and her children.
I’ll go along with this as long as we can do the same to Muslims here in the USA...

.
Hear, hear.
Ping.
The adherents of the cult of mohammed are nothing more than a pack of angry animals with a taste for innocent blood.
They sure are that.
And they practice lying, and worship Satan, the father of lies. In fact, they are likely to have lied about what this woman said in the first place. Their religion encourages this kind of slander against their “enemies.”
Sounds like abortionists.
Now the Islamic death cult has sentenced her to hang.
Obama says we need to reach out more to these people.
I agree wholeheartedly.
With a Barrett .50BMG rifle.
Muslims - Turks - Saudis - Yemenis —Iraqis- ad nauseum - have a home right here in the US...and they are loud, replicating fast, and nasty.
So when the savages come into this country and set up sharia, do you think they WON’T condemn Christians to death for every word they say?
