This will make it easier for the jihad vigilantes with which the Punjab government is clearly allied to assassinate Malook, and ease the way for Aasia Bibi to be executed.
“Aasia Bibi’s lawyer’s life at risk as police withdraws security despite court orders,” Pakistan Today, April 25, 2018:
LAHORE: The Punjab government on Wednesday withdrew security for Aasia Bibi’s counsel Saiful Malook, four days after Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar ordered Punjab police to restore police security for Malook.
Talking to Pakistan Today, Malook said that at 7 pm on Wednesday, the three police personnel posted for his security were withdrawn by SP (headquarters) and were asked to report back to the police line.
He said that he tried to contact Lahore CCPO but did not receive any response, after which he contacted advocate general since the security was provided to him by the Supreme Court. The advocate general said that the courts order was implemented in letter and spirit and he will look into the matter.
The development comes as CJP assured on Saturday that the Supreme Court will soon take up the case of Aasia Bibi – a Christian woman who has been on death row since November 2010 after being convicted in a blasphemy case.
“Your appeal in Aasia Bibi case is going to be fixed soon as I myself will preside over the bench,” Chief Justice told Saiful Malook, the counsel for 51-year-old Bibi, on Saturday.
Malook expressed the hope that the case might be listed for hearing in the next couple of weeks as the CJP had also assured him that all criminal appeals would be decided by July.
Malook is also representing four other blasphemy accused and was the prosecutor in the Salman Taseer assassination case….

Sounds to me that some Imam put out a Fatwa (Death Sentence) to ALL who defend Blasphemy and Blasphemers.
mortimer says
If you are accused of any matter related to BLASPHEMY or APOSTASY in PAKISTAN, it is hard to get a lawyer because the Islamists will try to kill the defending attorney.
Kim Bruce says
That would be correct.
JM says
Aasia Bibi’s plight and unimaginable suffering underlines the boundless cruelty of Islam toward non-Muslims and serves as a wake-up call to the useful idiots who still believe in the Religion of Peace myth.
Where is Pope Francis???
esther says
Pope Francis has already decided that muslims who murder Kaffirin are
ANGELS OF PEACE
JM says
Pope Francis suffers from moral myopia of catastrophic proportions.
Elizabeth Lawson says
Blasphemy order? This is a catch all phrase for “let’s kill some Jews, Christians, Hindus, B’hai, Buddhist or any other REAL religion that is not Muslim. I don’t know about other people, but I am on to this crowd of liars. They are forging ahead in the Western hemisphere with one goal uppermost in their Borg-like minds, world domination. In the meantime, and in spite of thousands of brutal, Islamic inspired murders across the globe, thousands of rapes, including those of chilren -and babies, AND the attendant OBVIOUS disrespect for the nations who are providing them with food, shelter and clothing, they have managed to fool all our soft headed idiots in government that it is the Islamic commuity that is in danger and that is being threatened. It would be funny were it not so terribly frightening – and sad.
KJW says
The majority people in the government are not fooled, they know what they’re doing which is even worse than ignorance. They know what people are saying, wr have experts on the Middle East and Islam, they know what’s been said about Islam for over 200 years. They are allowing it, and those spineless people who know it’s wrong are afraid of being called Islamophobic, racist, losing their job or not getting votes.
There is no excuse for anyone not to know. Heck, the FBI, CIA know, but apparently they are all into the idea of submitting to Islam and degrading our conntry and values. I’ve been reading documents from the the 7th century written by Christians as Jerusalem was being invaded by Umar…same things said then as today. Not much has changed.
Neil Ross says
I think this demonstrates why we need to stop Muslim immigration and restrict asylum to Christians and persecuted minorities from the Middle East and South Asia. How can anyone be prosecuted for blasphemy in the 21st century? Yet under Islam people are regularly executed on mere suspicion of a “crime” that amounts to no more than free speech.
Lydia Church says
Their idea of ‘blasphemy’ amounts to confessing your Christian faith.
We all have a bullseye on our heads as Christians in a muslim country.
As a walking testimony of Christ, it is a miracle every day we are alive in a place like that!
My heart is with her and my prayers too!
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
According to the satan (holy spirit) insulting prophet muhammad and lies against Islam are articles of mithraist christian faith. without such rascalities mithraist christianity cannot stand because it is too irratiational and barbaric. so, any Idiot who accept filthy christianity is expected to blaspheme Islam as part of freedom to be a rascal like this woman.Fools!!
Stranger Danger says
Muhammad urinated (i.e. peed) like a girl. AbdurRahman ibn Hasanah reported: I and Amr ibn al-‘As went to the Prophet (ﷺ). He came out with a leather shield (in his hand). He covered himself with it and urinated. Then we said: Look at him. He is urinating as a woman does. (Sunnan Abi Dawd 22: https://sunnah.com/abudawud/1/22).
If your urine touches your clothes, you are going to Hell (Sunnah Ibn Majah, Vol 1., Book 1, Hadith 346: https://sunnah.com/urn/1253450).
R Russell says
Ibrahim
1. If it could be proved from the Greek of the NT that YHWH is not Mithraism, would it affect your beliefs?
2. If not, why not?
3. What would convince you that YHWH is the God who revealed himself right back to the Garden of Eden?
4. What evidence do you have that Mithraism is present in Christianity?
The Bible Jesus loves you and wants you to get to know him.
JM says
R Russell, many thanks for the links to help Asia Bibi.
Kim Bruce says
F**k Muhammad!
Muhammad is a fictional character dreamt up by the Arabic warlords who wanted to conquer the world for ‘booty’ and enslavement.
That is why the Qur’an is such a jumbled mess…peace…then war, gentleness…then rape and slavery. Islam is truly borne of Satan…deception, lies, violence at every turn. The “real prophets”…of “The Book” foretold us that Satan would come back into the world and deceive and persecute the followers of Christ.
The fictional Muhammad, or whomever were the warlords who wrote the filthy “Sunnah”, stole most of the ideas for the Qur’an from early fantastical gnostic Christian stories circulating around the Middle East.
BTW…did Alexander the Great really see “a people living near where the sun set in a muddy pool” Quran (18:86)? And did Alexander the Great go West? I could have sworn he travelled East?
And Christianity, though it resembles Mithraism in many ways, because of Roman influence, does not disprove the existence, the crucifixion, death and rising of the Christ.
I GUESS THE TIME HAS COME FOR ANOTHER CRUSADES…THIS TIME WORLDWIDE!
Save humanity and the planet from this plague…Eliminate Islam from the face of the earth.
Richard says
Ibrahim itace muhammed
Keep up the good work.
You are doing an absolutely brilliant job of demolishing Islam by writing such stupidity. Actually it would be good if you could start posting your nonsense elsewhere. Even the useful idiots of the MSM might be convinced about how stupid Islam is if they read your words!
R Russell says
Ibrahim,
I’m still waiting for you to accept my challenge!
The Greek of the New Testament. etc. Are you going to debate it or run away?
The Bible Jesus loves you.
Your Allah has the name, ‘Deceiver’ which is why you are deceived about Christianity and Mithraism.
The Bible Jesus named himself ‘truth’.
What to you prefer:- Deception or Truth?

All this woman did was affirm that she is Christian and loves Jesus.
As Muslims see it, refusing to convert to Islam is an “insult” to the “Prophet”, and that the penalty for this is murder. *Ugh*.
Michael Copeland says
Pakistan is a failed state.
JM says
And Islam is a failed religion. Unfortunately, it’s also fascism on steroids.
elee says
Well said Michael Copeland and JM!
JM says
Thank you, Elee. How can we help Aasia Bibi and her family? Has a relief fund been set up for her? Also, the power of individual and collective prayer is amazing.
