The Supreme Court of Pakistan is finally scheduled to hear Asia Bibi’s case in just five days. Asia, a Christian mother of five, has been in prison for seven years for allegations of blasphemy, facing execution by hanging. Her co-workers alleged that she blasphemed the Prophet Muhammad’s name.
According to Pakistan’s constitution, all laws must be consistent with Sharia, Islamic law. True to its constitution, Pakistan’s penal code punishes any insult to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad with the death penalty.
Asia’s crime was to offer water to two women who were picking berries with her at a farm. The two women told Asia they would not drink water from her because she was ceremonially unclean as she was a Christian, and then demanded that Asia convert to Islam. Asia refused and reaffirmed her faith in Christ. Then an argument ensued. Five days later, a local cleric went to the police and accused Asia of blasphemy.
After a trial full of errors, the court sentenced Asia to death in November 2010. Four years later, the Lahore High Court upheld her conviction. Asia’s new counsel, Saif ul Malook, filed an appeal with the Supreme Court noting multiple errors in the case.

Asia refused and reaffirmed her faith in Christ.

Hmmm, Asia apparently encountered those "Moderate Islamic Peoples" that the MSM is always going on and on about.
She did not deny Christ and her reward will be great if she is martyred.
I agree that a President Trump would not send in the Marines (nor should he). But I would hope he’d say something like: “Hey Pakistan, your 2 billion dollar US aid package...it would be a shame if something happened to it.”
Hopefully then that includes cutting off their aid and sitting by with popcorn they next time they give the Indians a chance to wale the tar out of them.
No peeps of anythig from th uniparty about this.
They have been going after how Christian religions operate though.
I have no love for moderate Nazis nor moderate muslims...
hint: no such thing as either...
Prayers up
Nope. Missed that story. Can you provide a link?
