Jihad Watch reported earlier that Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian woman who has been imprisoned since 2010 for blasphemy, was finally acquitted. This acquittal was followed by Muslim riots and calls for her death. We may hope that Asia Bibi will be able to leave Pakistan, given the ongoing fury her case has generated. In Pakistan, which is well known for its barbaric blasphemy laws, Christians are often falsely accused of blasphemy. Christians often walk on eggshells to avoid such charges, since once they’re levied, no Christians are safe — even the families of the accused.
Now those who want to kill Asia Bibi are also threatening the judges who freed her. The judges who acquitted her are being targeted for death as a result of their ruling.
The Tehreek-e-Labaik (TLP) party called for the death of the chief justice and two other judges in Pakistan’s highest court after they spared the life of Asia Bibi, 47, who was convicted of blasphemy in 2010….The party also demanded Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government be ousted following the court’s order.
There is a point worth remembering, however, about Imran Khan. In his first address to the Pakistani senate after being sworn in as Prime Minister in July, Khan vowed to take the matter of blasphemy to the United Nations, adding that “few in the West understand the pain caused to Muslims by such activities.” He was referring to the “offense” caused to Muslims by Muhammad cartoons. So while Khan upheld the decision of the court to free Asia Bibi, he still promotes Pakistan’s blasphemy laws, and not only in Pakistan. He aims to expand those laws internationally, in keeping with the Sharia, and consistent with the goals of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
“Pakistan’s Islamist party says judges who acquitted Christian woman ‘deserve death,’” RT, October 31, 2018:
A hard-line Islamist party in Pakistan has called for the death of the country’s Supreme Court judges responsible for overturning the death sentence of a Christian woman accused of blasphemy, Reuters reports.
The Tehreek-e-Labaik (TLP) party called for the death of the chief justice and two other judges in Pakistan’s highest court after they spared the life of Asia Bibi, 47, who was convicted of blasphemy in 2010.
The party also demanded Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government be ousted following the court’s order.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled in favor of the release of Bibi, who was eight years ago accused and sentenced for “insulting Islam.” As long as she faces no other charges, the woman should be released, the court ordered.
TLP two weeks ago organized a mass anti-blasphemy rally calling on Bibi to be executed as the court waited to release its verdict on her final appeal. The protests took part mainly in the city of Lahore, but demonstrations took place in other areas too, including Karachi and Rawalpindi.
Bibi’s case started when, according to her autobiography, she sought to get some drinking water out of a well on a hot fruit-picking day.
She was then told off by a Muslim neighbor, who turned to other Muslim women in the area to tell them the Christian devotee had dirtied the water by drinking from their cup. Several women called Bibi a “filthy Christian” and told her to convert to Islam.
Bibi refused, saying: “I believe in my religion and in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the sins of mankind. What did your Prophet Mohammad ever do to save mankind? And why should it be me that converts instead of you?”…..
Peter Buckley says
It is worthwhile at this point reminding everyone what Asia Bibi actually said:
“I’m not going to convert. I believe in my religion and in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the sins of mankind. What did your Prophet Mohammed ever do to save mankind? And why should it be me that converts instead of you?”

No insult at all. Just a perfectly reasonable theological question, but considered an “insult” by a supremacist belief system that cannot stand up to any challenge and is forced to resort to violence.
Meanwhile, anyone who wants to help the poor woman post-sentence can do so here:

“Pain” huh – so, in other words, Muslims by their own admission are a gigantic bunch of PUSSIES.

I say that the third world war started on the 14th of February 1989. How so? When Ayatollah Khomeini issued the fatwa against Salman Rushdie for his newly released Satanic Verses, we saw Islam find it’s voice again,since the collapse of the previous Ottoman Turk Caliphate after WWI. The unstoppable days of rage that erupted across the Muslim world and for the first time, in western countries as well. is the key indicator of my WWIII proposition. The release of Asia Bibi from her eight year jail sentence proves just how long Islam’s battles can go on for and all over some perceived loss of face for the religion of no peace over the water well incident. Take note that it was so called ordinary muslims that sounded the alarm bells that had her imprisoned. Ordinary observers of the five pillars of Islam just like all those that are now infesting our once impervious and unfettered Western civilisations. A generalisation on my part you say? But think it through. If the lowest common denominator that defines membership of Islam is the observance of the five pillars of Islam, then we know that they all think the same way. How individual Muslims act upon this unity of belief may vary at any given moment, but sooner or later, individual Muslims must stand up and be counted in this potentially, apocalyptic flow of self fulfilling prophesies,that is Islam itself. What care the average Muslim for the “fate” of some hapless Christian woman who should have known better than to turn down the offer of Islam,.
except to restore Islam’s pathetic sense of honour and ultimate dominance over those who are mere chattels and slaves to be husbanded. at every pretext. That is, Us. with the passing of every day we feel the grinding relentless push back from ordinary Muslims to overturn our culture and lock us into their servitude. With every Muslim child born, we see the threat become more grave. The enemy is within the citadel, enabled by those that have betrayed us from on high. Welcome to WWIII . Just remember Churchill’s finest hour speech. All is not lost if the new greatest generation steps forth we will wipe this darkness from the face of the earth.
One of these new generation’s name is Asia Bibi.. What will you be able to share with your kids and grandkids about how we turned darkness into light?

The pain is considerable, but the Muslims lashing out at Bibi fail to identify its source correctly. The pain comes from their own souls who deep down realize through Bibi’s question that Muhammad has not given them anything good, only lifelong suffering.
This question, and Bibi’s courage in refusing to bow to the constant death threat that rules their entire, miserable lives makes it clear to them in a flash that they, too, could live a truer life… that they really may be the ones who should convert.
Bibi’s theological question is a genius one, because it immediately exposes to anyone who considers it how difficult it actually is to name any positive contribution to mankind made by Muhammad. Can you?
mortimer says
Vigilantism is normative Islam, rather than an aberration, because discriminatory Sharia law contains no punishment for the killer of a blasphemer or apostate.
Indeed, Islam teaches that killing an apostate or blasphemer will be REWARDED on judgement day by Allah.
Pakistan tried to uphold discriminatory Sharia law by creating this discriminatory law, but the case of ASIA BIBI is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of the ABUSE OF THIS LAW by vindictive Islamic supremacists.
Most Pakistanis are now ENFLAMED BY SHARIA SUPREMACISM … believing without evidence that they can create an UTOPIA that is better than the NIGHTMARE of the TALIBAN or ISIS when Sharia was actually implemented and enforced to a HIGH DEGREE.
Discriminatory Sharia creates DYSFUNCTIONAL SOCIETIES… therefore, Islam is false.
Noel Anderson says
So much for the religion of peace and tolerance, more like the religion of death and destruction … What a pack ignorant savages these islamics are…

Rabid is a good description of these knuckle dragging Neanderthals who always seem to be rampaging in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. We often see these types of demonstrations from these brain-dead Muslims. I cannot understand how anyone can think that people like these are fit to live in any civilised, western nation. And yet our idiotic politicians seem to think that barbarians like these are acceptable as migrants into western countries. Our political leaders and the left wing media types who support letting Muslim barbarians like these Pakistani demonstrators migrate into western countries have a lot to answer for. It should be so obvious that people like these Pakistanis can only be a negative for any western country. Keep them out. They have to be kept in their backward Muslim countries. Look at how the UK has let Pakistani Muslim barbarians into the country and look at the Pakistani rape gangs there. A disaster for the UK. I hope, by some miracle, that Asia Bibi escapes from that hellhole Pakistan, although it seems almost impossible that that will be the case.
Keys says
“Rabid is a good description…”
In the words of Winston Churchill, “Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog.”
tim gallagher says
Churchill certainly got it right, Keys. As I mentioned in my comment above, the main thing for me, whenever I see these maniacal, primitive looking Muslims demonstrating and calling for some poor person’s death, is how bloody ridiculous it is to think that they should be allowed to migrate into any civilised, western country. It should be so obvious that they won’t fit in in any way whatsoever. They’ll be a disaster. And that’s exactly what they are in every country that lets them in. Maybe some of the people in countries like Pakistan are quieter, more reasonable people who could migrate into western countries and assimilate reasonably well, but I doubt whether there are many people like that. We have to keep them out.
David M says
Hopefully this poor lady can be sent to a foreign country & out of Pakistan soon. These Pakistani Muslims think they are still back in the times of this Monty Python sketch:

UNCLE VLADDI says
Actually, waging war on (and lying to!) their own sharia judges IS written right into their own sharia laws themself!
The Hedaya (the main Hanifi maddhab fiqh of sharia “law” manual, which they’re all familiar with, as it was used by the Ottomans to rule them all) actually tells them to lie to their own judges, in exchange for which good deed, allah will lie for them to conceal their crimes, on Judgment Day! It also says if they disagree with a judicial ruling, it is their right to wage war on the judges, and even ensures that while they’re in their bandit rebel camps waging war, their own wives and children and relatives are officially off-limits to the authorities to attack or take hostage. In other words, sharia outs islam itself as openly might-makes-right. Random attacks fulfill their own definition of the “way of allah” in exactly the same way as random lightning strikes or lions attacking gazelles do.
