Exclusive Interview with Jailed Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi
American Thinker ^ | 12/25/2011 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 12/25/2011 5:06:15 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Asia Bibi, a Christian woman, has been sentenced to death under Pakistan's notorious blasphemy law for insulting Islam. She is now in prison. The law is often used to settle grudges, persecute minorities and fan rage of the Islamic devout.

The same thing is coming here. The recent cancellation of my event by a Houston hotel, and the subsequent cancellation of an anti-Sharia conference in Nashville represent the first stage of the application of Islamic blasphemy laws here in America. Where full-on Sharia is enforced, "blasphemers" get the death penalty. Here in America, your character is assassinated.

As part of my work to aid those whose lives are threatened for leaving Islam, I have been in touch with Asia through the Pakistani journalist and human rights activist Xavier William. William is the Regional Director in Islamabad of Life for All, which works for the human rights and education of Pakistani Christians. William recently visited Asia Bibi in prison and asked her questions I gave him. Here are her answers:

Pamela Geller: What happened when you were arrested?

Asia Bibi: When I was arrested, I was assaulted and harassed by the police. I was in a state of shock for many days. I fasted and prayed. My family has been in trouble; they have been moving one place to another. But I have forgiven the Muslims who put me and my family in this situation.

PG: How are you being treated?

AB: I live in a confined cell. I am allowed to go out for only 30 minutes every day, and allowed to meet my family for one hour every Tuesday. I am given raw material to cook for myself, since the administration fears I might be poisoned, as other Christians accused of blasphemy were poisoned or killed in the jail.

I despise Islam and its pedophile prophet. Come and take your best shot, libs.

I’m glad to see Pam Geller is interested in Asia Bibi’s cause. At least the right wing blogosphere will be aware of her.
