Pakistan: 150 Muslim clerics demand death for Asia Bibi, Christian woman accused of blasphemy
OCTOBER 12, 2016 2:54 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 50 COMMENTS
“The religious decree warned government of Pakistan that if Asia Bibi was sent abroad with any conspiracy then administration will face consequences.”
That is, of course, a threat of violence if they don’t get this poor woman’s blood. If we had a sane administration, Asia Bibi’s case would have been taken up energetically by the State Department and made into a diplomatic issue until she was released to a country where she could live free. She is facing death for supposedly insulting Islam and Muhammad. The United States ought to be standing up for the freedom of speech. But this is, of course, the age of Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Asia Bibi
“150 Sunni Muslim Clerics demand death for Asia Bibi,” Pakistan Christian Post, October 11, 2016:
Lahore: October 11, 2016. (PCP) As hearing date of appeal of Asia Bibi against death sentence on blasphemy charges in Supreme Court of Pakistan Lahore Bench is approaching the radical Muslim groups have also lined up for showdown to put pressure on Judges of SCP to uphold death sentence for her issued by District and Session Judge Sheikhupura, a lower court carrying jurisdiction of police station in which FIR was lodged under section 295 C PPP.
Today about 150 top Muslim Clerics (Muftis) issued a religious decree and demanded from Government to hang Asia bibi [sic] and all other prisoners of blasphemy laws and also demanded speedy trial of pending cases of blasphemy in Pakistani courts.
The religious decree warned government of Pakistan that if Asia Bibi was sent abroad with any conspiracy then administration will face consequences.
The Markaz Ahl-e-Sunnat Lahore which have issued signed Fatwa of 150 of Muslim Mullahas have warned Supreme Court of Pakistan to hearing appeal of Asia Bibi because Islamic teaching have judgment of hanging or beheading of blasphemers and Asia Bibi deserves death.
They also issued decree of killing of those who rescued blasphemy accused and assisted or trying to rescue blasphemers.

If those clerics do not have any evidence of their own and were not present. Then Allah might make them burn in hell for using their clout and democracy for causing the death of an innocent.
They are terrorists who have killed those who supported the accused.
If the clerics believe in the Quran then they should follow the last two lines of surah 2.

Would her death not be a “victory over the disbelievers?” The consequence of blasphemy is what she has earned from an Islamic premise.
Perhaps you should read the whole Sura and then the rest of the book to get a better picture of Allah and what pleases this deity.
The Allah I find in the Koran would glory and delight in her death. Those clerics do believe in the Koran and their religious decree is indicative of a thorough understanding of the teachings and of the character of Allah.

The latest: “Asia Bibi’s court hearing adjourned after judge abstains from the panel.”
One of the three judges hearing the appeal abstained and the hearing has been postponed indefinitely.
This would be the 6th postponement of her appeal to the High Court. This is a farce, they have no intention of hearing her appeal or rendering a decision and hope she will just die in prison so they don’t have to.

ah that religion of peace is always asking for the blood of non-Muslims and the the same non-Muslim nations allow these Muslims to come in here in the name of compassion and all that nonsense. Our Western nations have to work together to protect Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and other minorities in Muslim countries. These people have no voice and they look to USA to save them but USA and rest of the West is only concerned with helping Muslim refugees from Syria and other Islamic hells. What a shame the West now become enabler of Islamic atrocities!! The same Muslim “refugees” commit terror/rape atrocities when they come here. Stop bringing in Muslims here!!

Does any rational person think Pakistan’s help is of any consequence in battling jihad?
It is part of the problem with it’s barbaric, deplorable, Islamist clerics agitating for blood in an alleged case of “blasphemy”. Let the Russians have them, their belligerent religion, and their economic black hole.
In the realm of human rights, pointing to ISIS and proclaiming, “see, we’re not that bad”, is not elevating.

In other news, Pope Francis never replied to Asia Bibi’s two heartfelt personal letters to him asking for help. And…has done nothing – publicly or privately – to secure her release.
Not the guy you want “answering the phone at 3 AM”, I suppose. What a disgrace.

He also had nothing to say to her husband and daughter when they made the trip to Rome and were in his receiving line.
“In the fleeting encounter along the barriers – as can be seen in the video – the pope brushes past the two, accompanied by the children’s tutor. He does not listen to them, he does not speak, he does not bless them. The girl looks at him with amazement at such coldness. Everything takes place as if the name of Asia Bibi means nothing to Francis…next to their little daughter is Ignacio Arsuaga, founder of the humanitarian association HazteOir.org. Who tried uselessly to tell the pope, in Spanish, who the man and his daughter were, not even succeeding in handing him the dossier he wanted to give
him.
http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1351264?eng=y
This, after the letter Asia Bibi had written to him:
“I am holding tightly onto my Christian faith and trust that God my Father will defend me and give me back my freedom. I also trust in you, Holy Father Francis, and in your prayers. Pope Francis, I know you are praying for me with all your heart. I know that, thanks to your prayer, I could be set free. In the name of the Almighty Father and his glory, I thank you for your support in this moment of suffering and disappointment. My only hope is that I will one day be able to see my family reunited and happy again. I believe that God will not abandon me and that he has a plan of happiness and well-being for me, which will come into being very soon. I am grateful to all Christians across the world who are praying for me and doing everything to help me.”
Benedict had called for her release. Francis will not speak her name.

He truly is a disgrace as a Pope. And as a priest. And even as a human being. His arrogance always reminds me of another person: Barack Obama. The utter arrogance and contempt of leftists is just sickening. At least Obama isn’t pretending to be a holy guy, though. Francis tries to portray himself as “a pope for the people”, someone who is approachable and warm, unlike his [supposedly] distant predecessor, Benedict. Well, the facts speak for themselves. Francis, the self-absorbed, small-minded little narcissist is as cold and uncaring as they come. And this case of Asia Bibi is the perfect illustration.
The facts speak for themselves: Pope Francis is a horrible, self-absorbed, cold-hearted leftist and a total disgrace as a pope. There, I said it.

Obama should be threatening to stop all aid and other dealing with Pakistan if this woman is not released IMMEDIATELY. They should not wait for the Supreme Court decision, because her arrest was based on a barbaric law that should not exist in this modern world in the first place.
I would take that a step further if I were President. I would set a clock ticking… I would give Pakistan 24 hour to release her or I will send drones to destroy each and every mosque with an Imam who supports the death of this poor girl (vote for me!).

The British Pakistani Christian Association are urging western governments to *cut off aid* to Pakistan because of Pakistan’s atrocious abuses of the human rights of its indigenous non-Muslim minorities (notably Christians, but also the Sikhs and Hindus).
ALL of us can get on board with that and start writing to *our* respective governments, insisting that we use this leverage on behalf of Asia Bibi and the many, many other non-Muslims who are being daily abused and degraded and raped and *murdered* in ghastly Islamic Pakistan.
ALL of us can demand that our governments *publicly* offer asylum to Asia Bibi and her family.
If the USA, Canada, Australia, UK *and* India all got together and applied suitable pressure using all means available to us, I think we’d get some results.
Muslims are BULLIES. They think and act like bullies. Bullies buckle when people stand up to them and fight back.
If Pakistan *hangs* this innocent Christian woman, for no other ‘reason’ at bottom than that she stated she preferred Christ to Mohammed, then ALL ‘aid’ to Pakistan – and all western TRADE with Pakistan (yes, we do get stuff from them – rice and cheap textiles, mainly) – should cease, and all entry of Pakistani Muslims into the ‘west’ should cease henceforward.
And all Pakistani Muslims currently within Infidel lands, but not yet having inveigled themselves into citizenship papers, should be rounded up and deported, right back to Pakistan.

This is the scriptural basis for this poor woman’s plight. Qur’an 33.57: “Those who annoy Allah and His Messenger – Allah has cursed them in this World and in the Hereafter, and has prepared for them a humiliating Punishment.” This is why sharia prescribes (among other things) the death penalty for blasphemy, and why those young Charlie Hebdo cartoonists were slain: Islam takes insults very, very seriously.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_blasphemy
The Infidel Imam says, we Kufrs need to take Islam very, very seriously. Asia Bibi is not only a persecuted Christian; she is a symbol of all that is wrong with Islam. Sam Harris was spot on when he said, “Islam is the mother lode of bad ideas”. On the ashes of my father (alaihi al-salam), I sincerely hope that Asia Bibi is rescued from the wretched clutches of Islam.

Mazo is here claiming that all Pakistani Christians are “low life” Dalits, whom are despised by Hindus–he’s done this before.
Even if this was the case, note that it is *not* Hindus who have sentenced this poor woman to death–it is Mazo’s own vile coreligionists.
Moreover, she has not been sentenced to death because she is of low caste, but for “Blasphemy”.
Further, Muslims claim that Islam does not recognize caste, but are (supposedly) egalitarian.
Note that Mazo has not a word of criticism for this woman’s horrifying ordeal–he is just–absurdly–trying to put the blame for her plight onto Christians and Hindus.

And its western missionaries and their converts who are whining about BJP Hindus “persecuting” them.

Cravenmirage, according to Hinduism people are born as Dalits because Brahma and Karma are punishing them for sins in their previous life. Hindus say they are supposed to suck it and accept their sub human treatment from higher castes because they deserve Karma. They aren’t supposed to cheat and get out of it by converting to Christianity.

The notorious Blasphemy Law is itself blasphemous. By accusing people of blaspheming against Mohammed they are effectively raising Mohammed, a mere human being, to the status of God.
God, and only God, can be blasphemed against.
This barbaric Law must be repealed and all prisoners suffering under it released immediately. .

The Pope might be coming around to sanity. At the service honoring slain priest Jacques Hamel, Pope Frances said “to kill someone in God’s name is satanic.” Which is indirectly a way of saying the the Muslim religion is satanic. To extrapolate, anyone who rapes in God’s name is also satanic. So Muslims are worshiping Satan, not God. When you really think about it, it makes sense. So how is it possible to have blasphemy against Allah, who is actually Satan. The Muslims have all been brainwashed. We need to tell them they are wrong. Truth is either Christianity, humanism, or some other version of “love your neighbor as yourself.” Truth is NOT Muslim.. That’s why they don’t allow criticism.

No, the Pope is not coming around. He said to kill someone in God’s name is Satanic, but he has previously said that Islam properly understood rejects all forms of violence — an astoundingly counterfactual statement and one that makes it clear that he was not including Islam in any way in his condemnation of the jihadist killers of Fr. Hamel.
