They won’t be appeased by anything but Asia Bibi’s blood, which they believe their god is demanding, despite the thinness of the case against her.
“Asia Bibi: Protests delay release of Christian woman accused of blasphemy in Pakistan,” by Lucia Binding, Sky News, November 2, 2018:
The release of a Pakistani Christian woman who was acquitted eight years after being sentenced to death for blasphemy has been delayed.
Asia Bibi was convicted in 2010 after being accused of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad in a dispute with her neighbours.
The mother-of-three, 47, has always maintained her innocence – but has spent the majority of the past eight years in solitary confinement.
Her release was delayed following protests by radical Islamists, who want her publicly hanged, and failed talks between them and the government.
A lawyer representing a local cleric who had raised the initial blasphemy charges against Ms Bibi petitioned the supreme court on Thursday to reverse its acquittal.
Her husband, Ashiq Masih, returned from Britain with their children in mid-October and was waiting for her release so they could leave Pakistan.
France and Spain have offered her asylum, while the former bishop of Rochester, Michael Nazir-Ali, who is a Christian born in Pakistan, said Ms Bibi should be granted asylum in the UK.
On Wednesday, the top court overturned Ms Bibi’s conviction.
It prompted over 2,000 Islamists to block a key road linking the capital, Islamabad, with the garrison city of Rawalpindi, causing traffic jams.
Hundreds also blocked another key motorway linking Islamabad with other major cities.
Other protesters damaged or set fire to dozens of vehicles to pressure the government to prevent Ms Bibi’s release.
Demonstrations are also being held in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Multan – and clashes with police have been reported.
Ms Bibi’s acquittal has posed a challenged for Pakistan’s new prime minister, Imran Khan, who came to power this summer partly by pursuing an Islamist agenda.
He condemned the Islamists after cleric Afzal Qadri urged supporters to kill the three judges who acquitted Ms Bibi, revolt against army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and overthrow Mr Khan’s government.
Islamists were to hold nationwide rallies after Friday’s prayers, stoking fears of violence.
Schools and colleges have been closed after radical cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi, the leader of Tehreek-e-Labbaik party, announced that “talks” between his deputies and the government about Ms Bibi’s fate had failed.
“We are ready to die to show our love for the prophet,” he told an emotionally charged rally in Lahore….

She will find no asylum in France, or Spain from rabid muslims, the bloodthirstiest people in the history of mankind.
Protests in all of these cities over a hearsay accusation of this woman, who’s already spent EIGHT years in solitary confinement?
And half of the population, or more, STILL wants to continue importing these maniacs into our country?!?!?!? Is this really the kind of stuff we want to see on OUR streets one of these days?
Asia Bibi should receive a hero’s welcome here in the U.S. and be treated as a TRUE REFUGEE, which she is.
And the only muslim refugees we should be welcoming, are those who are trying to escape it. For the sake of sanity, if nothing else: They deserve our support. Instead, we seem to have it the other way around. Talk about backward thinking!

I’m glad to see that these Western nations have offered her asylum. She may still be in danger there, but she has no chance if she and her family stay in Pakistan. They need to get out.
c dewitt says
unfortunately, that is quite true these places have succumbed to sharia without so much as a fight

The difference between Christianity and islam is this.
Love, in the one, is stronger than death. Death, in the other, is the punishment for love.

Poor little boy! How horrifying.
jayell says
This is an excellent example of muslim/western double standards. On one hand a woman in Pakistan simply says something about the Great Prophet that the local muslims don’t like, is actually properly acquitted by a court yet is illegally prevented from leaving the place because the bigotted antediluvian savages want her head on a plate. Then on the other hand a nasty, perverted muslim criminal who has actually physically violated a local girl in the UK freely skips the country without hindrance when under charge and certain to be convicted – no ‘nasty Christian savages’ putting up road blocks, etc. in this case, we all notice, even though that might have had some sort of legal justification!
WPM says
Savages what is the main export of this septic tank of a country rape gangs into Europe or terrorist ? .This all over a drink of water and here say , what does Pope Frankie have to say about this a whole country rioting want to kill a Christian woman over a minor disagreement at a town well??Maybe Pope Frankie get off his fanny and visit this woman,s family or send some Bishop to show support.
mummymovie says
Yes, WHERE IS POPE FRANCIS on these developments?
Isn’t the Pope going to chime in here, and lecture everybody about how there’s nothing inherently violent about islam?
End PC says
Islam induces deep insanity, and here it’s displayed.

At this very moment thousands of hardworking Pakistani women like Asia Bibi are at home cooking, cleaning and raising children, or out in the fields picking fruit to earn a living for their families, in order that thousands of non-working Pakistani men can be out in mid-day, blocking streets while clamoring for the death of Asia Bibi.
gravenimage says
I very much take your point.
But many of the Muslim women are quite vicious, as well–like those who accused Asia Bibi of “blasphemy” in the first place.

It’s probably a bit late in the day,after 1,400 years of murder,rape and pillage to point out to them the importance of OBEYING those Exodus 20 Commandments of God…too busy putting on their show of public false piety..

This is yet further proof that Islam has it’s foundation not on reason of logic be of strong hateful vicious emotions ans likewise feeling of spiteful malice is the key to understanding the Muslim mindset.
For those Muslims in Pakistan are after blood , Christian blood.
Furthermore even though this Christian woman was acquitted of of the charges of “blasphemy” the very existed of the absurd thing as laws as “blasphemy laws” that there must be something wrong with Islam . Very wrong
Moreover,the Islamic nations and Pakistan have such things “blasphemy laws” , in the first place,which so extreme and harsh as to warrant death, by that Islamic government , for those who might critics Islam . Likewise the citizens of such Muslim countries who are themselves Muslims are become so very offended and enraged if a person might question or criticize Islam, no matter how mild those questions or to criticism s might be, the Muslims of those nations engage in violent against those who might or had questioned or criticized Islam
This is ,very much , a strong reminder that the Christian man, Roger Williams , who was the founder of the State of Rhode Island was someone who had the wisdom and understanding to make a valid and true statement which is “That religion cannot be true which need such instruments of violence to uphold it.”

Good post.
Walter Sieruk says
This should serve as a good example of the great contrast between the civilization of the Christian West and the “civilization” of the Islamic East. For in the West few Christians are bloodthirsty . By contrast in the Islamic East many Muslims are bloodthirsty . As seen in this about article as well as in other news reports of Muslim violence on this specific internet site..
Another example of the vast difference between the Christian and the Islamic East would be that of a man who was a Roman Catholic who then converted to Protestantism. No one in the West tried to murder him for “apostasy.” In the Islamic East a convert form Islam to another religion warrants being but to death.
Furthermore this man be who became Protestant went even further and actually wrote tracts and magazine articles making doctrinal criticisms of many of the doctrines of his former church, the Roman Catholic Church . Some people in the West found is writing offensive yet he still lived to an old age.
No government “blasphemy” charges to put against him. Unlike the Islamic East there is freedom of speech. Likewise no Roman Catholic tried to kill him ,the very worst thing that occurred a few offended Catholics , after reading tracts he wrote “told him off’
In conclusion there is an outstanding and large difference between the Christian West and the Islamic East.

If the US Navy SEAL Team was able to take out bin Laden in Pakistan, perhaps they could covertly rescue Asia Bibi.
Guy Forester says
I expect even worse before this is over.
Marina says
Asia Bibi should not be released into these blood thirsty Paki trash. She should be rescued from her prison in the middle of the night and then straight to our beautiful U.S.
KWJ says
…and the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation – 57 Islamic countries) wants the UN to make universal blasphemy laws mainly for just Islam. Even Muslims in Pakistan have been falsely accused (or no evidence). Even students killed another student outside the school. Christians and Hindus are even more persecuted.
Westerners want to import more of these people? Once their population grows it gets worse. Young Americans better start thinking of their future way of life ASAP and stop being such politically correct group thinkers. This isn’t a right-left issue.
Get mad or jealous at your neighbor or not like their religion? Accuse of blasphemy or mobs kill them like the horrific killing of a Muslim women by a mob of ordinary Afghans. (On YT)
It’s the 21st century and these folks are acting like barbarians. Islam ruins countries. There are millions of these devout Islamists, many of whom fake piety so they can release their bloodthirsty anger. Such loathsome people and apparently mostly men.
PATRICIA KOENIG says
The “love” of radical cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi for the false prophet Mohammed is nothing but BLOODLUST.

Spot on.
Susan Kennedy says
There is no way such an aggressive way of mob rule can survive modern era technology, they refuse their own Government and judges if they also are not aggressive and apart of the mob that is against its own citizens.
They want rule by accusations and emotional hype that disrupts everything for desire.
That is a dangerous way of life and Government and unstable.
