A new illustration of the contradiction between what many Muslim leaders say and the grim reality.
“Pakistani Christian serving life for blasphemy gets death sentence,” by Kamran Chaudhry, UCA News, March 12, 2021:
A Pakistani court has given the death sentence to a Christian previously jailed for life after being convicted of sending text messages defaming Prophet Muhammad.
Lahore High Court on March 10 sent the appeal of hearing of Sajjad Masih Gill, a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to the division bench after admitting the criminal revision.
In July 2013, a trial court sentenced Gill, from Gojra town in Punjab province, to life imprisonment for sending a controversial text message to a Muslim man in December 2011. The verdict included a fine of 314,500 rupees (US$2,000)….
In 2015, his brother and nephew reported being attacked and threatened by unknown persons while returning home after visiting Gill in Central Jail Sahiwal, the largest prison in Asia spanning 283,280 square meters.
In 2016, two lawyers of the Legal Evangelical Association and Development reported similar threats by armed men on the road between Kasur and Lahore. Both had defended Gill and appealed to the Lahore High Court.
The news of Gill’s death sentence was praised by a Muslim lawyer in a Facebook post.
Zeeshan Ahmed Awan, who was among the prosecuting lawyers in court, said the court had accepted the prosecution’s argument that capital punishment was the only possible sentence for blasphemy and that life imprisonment was “repugnant” to the injunctions of Islam….

They will continue to forcibly import Islam to the West until you suffer the same fates: dhimmi.
John Forbes says
EXACTLY! It is on the way- big time!
Christina D Williams says
Yes. They are a patient people. Determined. Merciless. Islam decided that REASON, in regard to their god and laws was NOT TO BE USED as their god is always right. Period. And is not loving or merciful. Submission is all he wants. SUBMIT.

TLA Every time I hear of the plight of Christians in Pakistan, I ask the same questions, why are they living there? Why, if they cannot leave, are they so stupid as to post stuff on social media which will get them into trouble?
gravenimage says
A lot of this stuff is trumped up. Recently a Christian couple were prosecuted for “blasphemous” posts on-line–the only problem is that they were completely illiterate. That this was clearly faked made no difference.

Maybe your next if you are on this web site???. Stay strong Robert, you are a true survivor and hero of freedom
Hadrian says
Reporting on that death cult’s crimes? I’d argue those literalists in fact celebrate this website for giving them due credit.
Hadrian says
Well, if a Hindutva politician can get murdered under a Hindutva government for calling the Prophet the world’s first homosexual… I’m actually surprised Pakis took this long to execute Gill.
TOM says
I am surprised, where are the human rights organizations and international human rights organizations about the persecution and killing of Christians everywhere in this world ?!
Keith O says
HAHAHAHA, you so funny!
Sorry, my cynicism chip kicked in when I started typing.

What a load of filthy, primitive and totally degenerate rubbish islam is. So merely disagreeing with islam’s rubbish, merely criticising Islam’s rubbish, which is all that blasphemy (according to islam) seems to be, warrants the critic’s execution. Meanwhile, while a critic or blasphemer apparently deserves to be executed, a Muslim who murders non-Muslims in terrorist attacks, or rapes a non-Muslim or marries and has sex with a very young girl is all just fine and dandy, according to Islam. Islam is so fundamentally evil and inhumane. And on Pakistan, I’d say, from how evil Muslim Pakistan seems to be (from all the evil actions that Pakistanis seem to be involved from reports here at Jihad Watch) that it has to be one of the most barbaric countries in this sorry world, a country that truly seems to be living back in mankind’s most primitive days.

This feature article demonstrates the true evil nature of Pakistan.

And the UN has taken positions against only one country in regard to human rights. in past few recent years. Always Israel. Insane. I think Netantahu is the most moral and ethical world leader at this time. He had an American crony (who said who needs the UN?) until recently.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Why do I have to read this article when MSNBC and CNN already covered this in great depth (LOL). MSNBC and CNN broadcast whores have no commitment to truth, freedom, and human rights. They are paid corporate propagandists whose purpose is to provide distraction theater.
James Lincoln says
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness,
Those networks that you had mentioned are strictly entertainment.
And annoyingly bad “entertainment”…
Raja says
What is Islam that life sentence should be repugnant? It is pure lawlessness, a close cousin of Left.
Time to act like Sri Lanka, Myanmar et al. But Pakistan is an Islamic state, having the blessing of UN and like minded OIC and unprincipled Left.
Our silence is their (Islam’s) strength. Sure Islam cannot stand any reasonable criticism or scrutiny, the world must do something about all these injustices.

This filthy prophet, the wild scum, pedohammed; you Muslims defamed him, Every person with a brain, of course, will be disgusted by a tainted biography of such a pedo, even if he was a prophet, holy, and God, he’s already defamed by his Sirah
But the scumful Muslim who lives in the 21st century and suffers from a handicap and malfunction in the work of his brain, homo erectus , We do not know how to classify him in the animal kingdom still believes in such filth that cannot be mentioned because such rubbish may contaminate the tongue And that God and his angels pray on this garbage called pedohammed, And they apply these laws and blindly believe, And the dirtiest and most damning of that is that there are people who have a bright future spoiled by the likes of these Islamic pigs ?

Pakistan: Christian serving life for blasphemy gets death sentence as life sentence was ‘repugnant’ to Islam
………………
Just horrifying–this poor Christian and his family..
Is Biden going to fork over more money for Pakistan?
sunshine says
60+ percent of pakis are married to a close relative, and this has been the practice for the last 1400~ years. Inbreeding has severe consequences especially when it’s done for millennia.
gravenimage says
Inbreeding doesn’t help, but even those who are not inbred embrace savagery if they convert to Islam.
Andrew Blackadder says
The USA should end IMMEDIATELY ALL USAID programs to this backward country that kills the people whos Faith is the same as most Americans.
muslims are so very shallow in their faith that they feel the need to kill anybody that calls it a Fascist Religious Cult…. because the truth hurts… Savages, plain and simple, bloody savages…
Some muslim can call my Faith anything, and everything, they wish, as I first look at the source of the opinion and decide if this person is worth taking note of.
If I tell a muslim fellow that I believe his religion is very violent and he in turn then attacks me very violently for saying this, then my question becomes… Is he being a good muslim by doing so.
European pagan says
Europe should help this people, instead of muslims. Pakistani Christians are in danger in their own country and nothing will be better there.
Old Guy says
I vote for the death sentence for all terrorist, seems only fitting.
Sven Svensson says
We need another Crusade to liberate all Christians from Muslim and Communist tyranny.

India has offered asylum to all Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and other threatened Infidels in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. They should take her up on it.
Crusader2021 says
How can on blaspheme that which is a blasphemy itself. To proclaim that Allah is the one true god is blasphemy. Muhammed never uttered a prophecy, let alone one that came true.
