Christian sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan
The Telegraph ^ | 3/28/2014 | Rob Crilly

A Christian man has been sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan, according to his lawyer, following an incident last year that prompted a Muslim mob to torch hundreds of homes.

It is the latest in a string of convictions prompting calls from religious minorities for the law to be reformed.

Naeem Shakir said his client, Sawan Masih, was convicted during a hearing held in jail for fear of violent protests.

Masih, a cleaner, was accused of insulting the Prophet Mohammed during a conversation with a Muslim friend in the eastern city of Lahore. Within hours, about 3000 protesters had set light to Christian homes and churches in an area known as Joseph Colony.

His supporters have always claimed the incident was fabricated as part of a plot to seize land.

Punkistan: The toilet bowl hell hole posing as a country that we gave $18 billion to since 2002 and in return they hid Bin Laden. I always like to think of that when I do my taxes. $18 BILLION. Just think how much healthcare that would buy, all the people dying of cancer or some other disease in the US but can’t afford treatment because ScamOcare has completely effed up their insurance and here we are giving $18 BILLION to a bunch of curry devils.

That first saying.... I always tell people that what he said is a nice way of saying “Death to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”.

“The future must not belong...” which means death. If someone has no future, doesn’t own the future, what does that mean? It means they do not exist in the future: They are dead. Death.

So what he is really saying is:

“Death to those who slander the Prophet of Islam.”

In 2001 after 911, did we ever think we would ever see the day where we would have a Muslim President who would threaten the public with death if they insulted the “Prophet of Islam”?

But like Mark Levin once said around 2007: “When it comes to terrorists, Republicans want to fight them. Democrats want them in office.” And he said that BEFORE Obama was even known to the public! And he was proven 1000% right.

Insult a guy (I think it’s a guy) who dresses as a woman, loves boys way too much, mutilates females coming of age, and says in his unintelligible left-handed chicken scratchings that to lie to an outsider is ok, because his self-made deity said it is ok, but not to another who does as he does, because his self-made deity said it was not ok?

WHY THE HECK NOT!!!
