Accused blasphemer Asia Bibi still trapped in Pakistan, denied medical care

Mar 10, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

And with so many Muslims in Pakistan avid to spill her blood, she cannot move about freely. Why the Trump administration has not called attention to this case and demanded that she be allowed to leave the country safely remains a mystery.

“Persecuted Christian Woman Asia Bibi Remains Trapped In Pakistan Despite Acquittal,” by Jon Brown, Daily Caller, March 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Pakistani Catholic woman, acquitted in January of a blasphemy charge by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, remains trapped in the country amid fears that her health is failing.

Asia Bibi, 53, is reportedly living with her husband at a secret location in Karachi, Pakistan, where she is being denied medical care for her “low blood pressure,” according to a source who spoke with The Daily Mail. The source explained that Bibi is “very unwell” and expressed frustration that she is being kept by the Pakistani army from following her children to Canada, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has offered asylum.

“Everyone is very worried,” the source continued, according to the Mail. “She won her appeal and was supposed to be out of Pakistan by now. Even though the government says she can leave, the army has all the power in this case.”

“They are in control of her. They are fearful about getting a negative press if she speaks out about her experiences – but they will get an even worse press if she dies in protective custody.”

Bibi spent nearly a decade languishing in a Pakistani prison after being accused of blasphemy against Mohammed, a capital offense in the Islamic Republic. On a sweltering day in June 2009, the illiterate field hand claimed to have been picking berries with women from her village when they demanded she fetch them a cup of water. When she returned, the women refused to drink after her because of her Christian faith….

    THE LAW: Muslim Student Challenges Ravi Zacharias

    Muslim student at Michigan University challenges Ravi Zacharias on Christianities seemingly lack of ability in keeping the “law” like Islam and Judaism do so well. How can Christianity be true if it isn’t doing that which God demands?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl5Xu03-KIc

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Ravi Zacharias says Shariah encodes and enjoins and enshrines and prescribes all sorts of rules of living.

    Jesus came to not destroy but establish The Law. Jesus transcended written law.
    Establishing the law on a higher plain.

    Be certain of forgiveness. Only mercy of God affirms us.

    To whom are you being neighborly?

    Moral Law is a mirror….

    Jesus spoke in parables. Come to know Jesus in your heart.

    We are not Christians according to the denominations or abominations we belong to.

    Unity doesn’t have to be uniformity.

      I can’t understand it either. It’s not like the poor woman is an atheist, which would certainly explain her being ignored on account of not having “come to know Jesus in her heart”. Right, Crusader?

      She should have been given asylum in any one of a dozen Western countries by now. That’s a lot of “leaders” who should be doing some ‘splainin’ or hanging their heads in shame.

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 10, 2019 at 3:58 pm

        Asia Bibi *has* been given asylum in Canada–her daughters are already there.

        It is that Pakistan will not let her and her husband go.

        • CRUSADER says

          Mar 11, 2019 at 2:30 am

          If her asylum had been in USA, perhaps Trump could do more on this front?

          Already withholding funds to Pakistan…

          Pakistan:

          P for Punjab
          A for Afghania
          K for Kashmir
          S for Sindh
          B for Baluchistan

          Somehow we get Pakistan out of it…
          with an Urdu and Persian translation of “Land of the Pure”

          Etymology of Pakistan involves names of the five northern regions of British India….

          Isn’t history wonderful?

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 11, 2019 at 5:21 pm

          Yes–all Western nations should threaten to cut foreign aid to Pakistan if they don’t let her go.

        • Rufolino says

          Mar 12, 2019 at 5:57 am

          You are assuming that Asia Bibi matters to Western governments.
          They have made it clear that she does not.

      ………………..

      Muslims always do this–claim that Christians have no real faith if they aren’t eager to brutalize and murder “blasphemers”.

      Of course, Jews don’t do this, either.

      Only Muslims think that savaging others is a sign of piety.

    It’s no skin off Pakistan’s nose if they just let her go.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 10, 2019 at 4:30 pm

      Except that the Pakistani mob wants to murder her, and may turn their fury on the government if they are not allowed to do so.

    Mar 10, 2019 at 2:13 pm

    I would support the US pushin for the Pakis to fake her death and put her in Witness protection in the USA or somewhere safe. No real need to stir the natives more than necessary at this point!

    Any update on Debbi Wasserman Shultz’s 4 Paki ISI agents with ALL congressional secretes they got over years of workin for Congress for her?

    • CRUSADER says

      Mar 10, 2019 at 2:33 pm

      Why hasn’t Blabbermouth Shultz been already dismissed from office?

      Is it awkward for her to be standing next to the three young little pigs in Congress these day?

        Mar 10, 2019 at 4:08 pm

        After livin for a year in Afghanistan in 2008/9, I really don’t believe anything we do will improve Afghanistan/Pakistan short of the intervention of the Holy Spirit. However livin a year in Iraq in 2005/6 I really do believe we could have turned that country around if we didn’t let the fundamentalist kill the first 4 o 5 Ayatollah’s that were emplaced till that got to Al Sadr. My opinion is that 50% of the Iraqis wanted to join the 21st century and the West and less than 15% wanted to die for Allah and remain in the 7th century.
        .
        I actually spoke to a retiring SF E-7 who was a mission to wack him in the middle of his terror campaign against us but was told to stand down after he had spent a week workin his way in to git a perfect shot at him he was told to stand down right before trigger pull, a perfect shot cancelled.
        .
        He had tears in his eyes when he told that story sayin he was haunted by the thousands of US Servicemen who died because he obeyed this order. Just like the Benghazi Stand Down order. Makes you wonder! .

          Mar 10, 2019 at 4:56 pm

          Mac-101,

          Much thanks for sharing the story.

          Sounds like that Special Forces E-7 could’ve changed history.

          So sad.

        • Mac-101 says

          Mar 10, 2019 at 5:19 pm

          James, I give that story about a 99% probability. We were both in our Class A’s with ALL our junk on and he had it all. Those tears Rollin down his check were real also!

    I want my Government to buy her out of that s******e. Nobody has to agree with me, but if you do you might email your Congressional delegates. Oh and Pakistan in our “ally,” with which I’ve also got a problem. One thing at a time though. First rescue Asia Bibbi.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 10, 2019 at 4:32 pm

      We should cut off all aid if they don’t let her go.

        Fine by me, I can’t wait. Sudan, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia…….why are we subsidising any of these?

  6. Walter Sieruk says

    Mar 10, 2019 at 2:51 pm

    The only real reason that Muslim nations, as Pakistan, have “blasphemy laws” enacted is because Islam, with its many falsehoods, is such a weak and fragile religion that it can stand up to or hold up to criticism, at all. No matter how very mild those criticisms might be.

    This is sickening. The West–especially President Trump–should demand her release and that of her family.

    • Lydia Church says

      Mar 10, 2019 at 5:05 pm

      The bitter truth is… they don’t care.

      There is so much Trumpism out there, everyone puts all their hope eggs in his basket as if that is ‘the ticket.’ But some of us see through it all. Then stuff like this does not surprise us. It’s better to wake up to it now rather than later.

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 11, 2019 at 5:24 pm

        Trump is overall more savvy about the threat of Islam than are most Western leaders–but no, he is not a cure-all.

    Wouldn’t it be something if the pro-refugee Pope did something to help this persecuted Catholic woman?

    Spread the word: Boycott all Muslim countries. The world governments are playing on a different ballfield. We’ve only got each other to be concerned with. They’ve got the banks and the military industrial complex to satisfy. It’s important to know when you’re being played for a pawn.

      Mar 11, 2019 at 2:33 am

      Cancelled several trips already.

      Turkey (Anatolia) would still be difficult to pass up, however.

      So much Greek and early Christian history there….

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 11, 2019 at 9:39 pm

        There are a lot of Muslim countries I would love to visit for just that reason. But I don’t think I’ll be going any time soon…

    I read on the internet(!!) that her family was in Canada and waiting for her. It is hard to tell what to believe, but one thing for sure; those fanatic idiots want her dead. If Pakistan does not protect her and get her to safety; pull out ALL funds we give them. What do they do with the money anyway? This woman paid the price for doing nothing. Let’s hear some support for her and her family. Put pressure on embassy of pakistan; they need to know they have to do better. either shit or get off the pot

    • CRUSADER says

      Mar 11, 2019 at 3:19 am

      Odd, isn’t it?

      She has much “intersectionality”.

      The LEFT really should come to her aid, after all….

      ” the women refused to drink after her because ….”

      Seems so UNFAIR….therefore the caring Liberals should deeply care!

      (But they do not dare, for fear of intimidation from CAIR.)

      • Jean (old) says

        Mar 11, 2019 at 4:32 am

        No, CRUSADER, not odd at all. The main thing in their eyes is that she is a CHRISTIAN, which makes her a representative of their worst enemy. They would never defend a person who challenges their narrative of Christianity as the violent instrument of a ruling class. They would be grateful to see her dead just for that challenge, and will continue to observe perfect silence about her plight for as long as she lives.

        That Asia Bibi is a

        – ‘brown’
        – working class
        – woman
        – prisoner of conscience
        – suffering years of torture
        – under a constant threat to her life

        are ALL cancelled out by her allegiance to Christ. Null and void.

        It is important to understand the depth of the Left’s hatred for Christianity. It is a fire burning at the very core of their world view. Which explains a lot of things. Their immediate sense of brotherhood with islam is in a large part due to this shared passion.

    Send in the SEALS to get her and her husband out of Pakistan. It wouldn’t take them long to find her and rescue her. Then put her in US protection and bring her children to her if they agree to the terms.

  13. Dogman1947 says

    Mar 10, 2019 at 7:52 pm

    We could furtively execute an assassination of the world’s most notorious terrorist and take his body with us, but we cannot rescue one innocent woman who will be killed eventually if we do not arrange for her removal from Pakistan. I am not proud of how we are handling her precarious situation.

  14. R. Spanier (Catholic Canadian) says

    Mar 10, 2019 at 8:03 pm

    “…. Indeed, an hour is coming when those who kill you will think that by doing so they are offering worship to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me. But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them.” Jesus (John 16:2)

    Thank you, Robert, for keeping a light burning for Asia…

    She and her family need all the prayer we can give her…

    Where is the Canadian Government on this? Why is the Canadian Government and Media so obsessed with a teenage girl from Saudi Arabia?

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 11, 2019 at 11:14 pm

      I think that Canada having save a Muslim apostate is a *good thing*. Sorry that you don’t.

      And–as I have noted–Canada has offered Asia Bibi and her family asylum. Her daughters are already there.

      Sometimes Canada–especially under Trudeau–does play the dhimmi. Not in this case, though.
