Pakistan prez urged by Muslims not to pardon Christian woman Asia Bibi sentenced to death for insulting prophet Mohammed

If someone says Islam is a religion of peace, its bullshit and don’t believe the hype!

Islam is a religion that promotes violence and death against all who are not Muslim. That’s not peaceful let alone merciful anyway you slice it.

Muslims kill Christians in Africa as easy as taking a drink of water and the world looks the other way, too timid to call it what it is.

Christians are treated miserably in Muslims dominate countries and that is not peaceful.

Try to find a Christian church in Medina or Saudi Arabia then explain to me how this is a religion of tolerance. But, a Muslim would call you Islamophobic, with a straight face, for being against the building of the Ground Zero Mosque.

In Pakistan, Asia Bibi, a Christian woman was found guilty of breaking a blasphemy law that carries a death sentence.

Yet again we have another example of Islamo hypocrisy that Muslims are experts at hiding.


CNN reports that Two prominent Pakistani Muslim leaders threatened Wednesday to call for nationwide protests if the president pardons a Christian woman sentenced to death for insulting the Muslim prophet Mohammed.

"If the president pardons Asia Bibi, we will raise our voices across the country until he is forced to take his decision back," nationally known mufti Muneer Ur Rehman said.

Hafiz Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer, a leading cleric in Lahore, said pardoning the woman would be "criminal negligence" and would cause inter-religious tension.

Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer told CNN Tuesday that President Asif Ali Zardari would pardon Bibi if the High Court did not grant her request for mercy.

Bibi, who has been jailed for nearly 15 months, was convicted in a Pakistani court earlier this month of breaking the country's controversial blasphemy law by insulting Islam's Prophet Mohammed, a crime punishable with death or life imprisonment, according to Pakistan's penal code. She was sentenced to death.

A spokesman for Zardari said Wednesday that no action has been taken, but the president will pardon her if necessary.

"No decision has been taken," spokesman Farhatullah Babar said. "Under the constitution, the president has to act under the advise of the prime minister. He will advise the president to take whatever action he proposes."

Babar said jurists and legal experts have debated about whether the president has absolute power under the constitution to grant a pardon.

But he said Bibi is not in danger of being executed.

"Asia cannot be executed now," Babar said. "Under the law, a death sentenced issued by a session court can not be carried out until it has been endorsed by the high court."
Farahnaz Ispahani, a spokeswoman for the president, said Pakistan remains committed to protecting religious minorities.

"Pakistan is a nation of many faiths and religions, and all Pakistanis, no matter what their religion, are equal under the law,"

Ispahani said in a written statement. "President Zardari has followed the case of Asia Bibi closely and will take appropriate action, if necessary, to issue a pardon or grant clemency to insure that Asia Bibi is neither incarcerated or harmed."

Christian woman (Asia Bibi) sentenced to death in Pakistan 'for insulting Prophet Mohammed

Pakistan governor assasinated see here

In the United States, Islam has become the chic religion of The Left. Typically, most Liberals are totally ignorant of how Islam, the so-called religion of peace, does violence to woman. Women’s groups such as NOW turn a convenient blind eye on how Islam treats woman as 3rd class citizens in the Muslim world.

And one of the biggest scandals of them all is the persecution of Christians at the hands of Muslims, like in this story.

The UK Telegrph reports that a Christian woman has been sentenced to hang in Pakistan after being convicted of defaming the Prophet Mohammed.

Asia Bibi, a 45-year-old mother-of-five, denies blasphemy and told investigators that she was being persecuted for her faith in a country where Christians face routine harassment and discrimination.
Christian groups and human rights campaigners condemned the verdict and called for the blasphemy laws to be repealed.

Her supporters say she will now appeal against the sentence handed down in a local court in the town of Sheikhupura, near Lahore, Pakistan.

"I haven't told two of my younger daughters about the court's decision," he said. "They asked me many times about their mother but I can't get the courage to tell them that the judge has sentenced their mother to capital punishment for a crime she never committed." Mrs Bibi has been held in prison since June last year.

The court heard she had been working as a farmhand in fields with other women, when she was asked to fetch drinking water.

Some of the other women – all Muslims – refused to drink the water as it had been brought by a Christian and was therefore "unclean", according to Mrs Bibi's evidence, sparking a row.

The incident was forgotten until a few days later when Mrs Bibi said she was set upon by a mob.

The police were called and took her to a police station for her own safety.
Shahzad Kamran, of the Sharing Life Ministry Pakistan, said: "The police were under pressure from this Muslim mob, including clerics, asking for Asia to be killed because she had spoken ill of the Prophet Mohammed.

"So after the police saved her life they then registered a blasphemy case against her." He added that she had been held in isolation for more than a year before being sentenced to death on Monday.
