They didn’t send the texts. They didn’t even own the phone. Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are a human rights outrage. Countless numbers of Christians and others have been victimized. But the “human rights community” does nothing; it isn’t, after all, a case of “Islamophobia.”
“Case of Blasphemous Text Messages; Christian Man Sentenced to Death Appeals to Lahore High Court,” Christians in Pakistan, February 16, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A disabled Christian man, Shafqat Emmanuel Masih, was accused, along with his wife, Shagufta Kausar of sending blasphemous text messages to an Islamic cleric. The couple has been sentenced to death.
Shafqat has appealed at Lahore High Court, seeking bail due to his deteriorating health condition.
“I have developed bedsores and I may die in jail as there is no possibility of a better treatment there,” Shafqat Masih, who is paralyzed from his waist down, said in his petition, according to the Deccan Chronicle.
In line with the details, On 21st of July 2013, a disabled Christian man, Shafaqat Emmanuel, and his wife, Shagufta Kausar, parents of four children, were booked by the police in Gojra District for allegedly sending blasphemous text messages to local Muslims. Police registered an FIR bearing number 407/13 under sections 295-B and 295-C of Pakistan Penal Code upon the complains of Muhmmad Hussain and Anwar Mansoor Goraya, Tehsil Bar Association president. The complainants allegedly accused that they received the blasphemous text messages from the number registered on Shagufta Kausar’s name.
“There was no evidence that the text messages came from a phone owned by the couple. In the first place they had lost the phone some months before July 2013 and secondly there was no SIM card in their names. The only evidence police produced was a bill for a SIM card from a shop owner which is unheard of,” said Farukh Saif, an official of World Vision in Progress, an organization defending the Christian couple.
The High Court is due to listen to the appeal on March 5, 2016[.]
Under severe torture by the police, Shafqat confessed to the crime but later talking to lawyers from aiding organisations, said, “There is no man who can stand to see his wife being tortured by police, so to save my wife, I confessed.”…

Axis of Evil-Iran,Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
Who supports them with money and trade.
America,Europe and of course OIC.
Why is USA supporting Pakistan not just by giving sophisticated weapons but general aid.
Bit like in Syria,the weapons you provide “moderates” in Syria will be used against you or your allies.
The money and weapons you give to “moderates” like Pakistan will be used against USA or its allies like India.

Mohammed blasphemed against the God of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob in his book of HATE,INTOLERANCE AND TERROR called Qur’an. Why not expel all the Muslims from the WEST AND BAN THE QUR’AN ?That mighty teach them a lesson. Islam is the most INTOLERANT CULT, followed by MANIMALS called MUHAMMADANS. There is NO PEACE in ISLAM and any Muslim country . It is a CURSE to live in a Muslim country for the Christians.

Allahists do not need any evidence and proofs. Are you Christian (or any non-Mohammedan)? You are guilty by default. Qur’an and sharia says so. End of story. I deeply fear for lives of this couple: they cannot expect anything good from sharia courts in Allahist country and their appeal most probably will be rejected.

I am too old to be reading of this horror – it just makes me want to scream loudly of the stupidity & hatred in this world and why is this being done by other humans – what is wrong with us all – our species never learns a da**ed thing, always more of the same cruelty to others and it makes me feel so hopeless !
I really think that most of the ‘war’ scenarios religious/non religious are perpetuated by males, and we need to get some of them(we know who they are) under control from babyhood, before the testosterone kicks in ! I have a resolution for that but they wouldn’t like it – this planet is being destroyed by ignorance, greed & stupidity and some of our species are a complete disgrace !
