Just got this email and am asking for all people concerned about persecuted Christians in the Middle East to please sign this petition and let everyone you know about this. Thanks and God Bless.

CALL FOR MERCY PETITION TO BE DELIVERED SOON. PLEASE SIGN TODAY.

Dear friends:

We recently received an update from our field staff in Pakistan

regarding Asia Bibi, who has been sentenced to death for

alleged blasphemy against Muhammad. Although we had heard

reports that Asia had been "tortured" by a prison official, her

husband clarified that she has not been tortured but has been

harassed by a prison guard (the guard has since been disciplined).

Because of threats against her, Asia is held in a secure cell,

separated from the general prison population.

Asia's husband also shared some encouraging news. One of

Asia's guards is a Christian and has consistently been kind to

her. Asia has her Bible, and she receives encouragement and

blessings from God's Word each day. In spite of her challenging

situation, she testified that God has been faithful in

encouraging and sustaining her. "God is with me," she told

her husband. "I feel strong and protected."

THANK YOU for your prayers for Asia Bibi. Clearly, God

is answering our prayers. Please continue to pray.

Asia has been in prison for more than two years, separated

from her husband and daughters by an unjust ruling based

on an unjust law. Her appeal has been filed with the High

Court, but there is no clear indication of when the court will

rule on the case.

NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEAK OUT FOR ASIA BIBI.

Since VOM launched the Call For Mercy petition drive in August,

more than 300,000 signatures have been collected (including

digital and paper signatures). In November, VOM staff will make

the first delivery of those signatures to the Pakistani Embassy in Washington D.C. If you haven't yet added your voice to this

chorus for justice, NOW IS THE TIME.

GO NOW TO WWW.CALLFORMERCY.COM and sign the

petition to free Asia Bibi. Our goal is 1 MILLION SIGNATURES

on her behalf.

If you've already signed the petition, PLEASE SHARE THE

WEB ADDRESS with your friends. Share it on Facebook and

Twitter. Share the petition drive with your Sunday school

class or Bible study group. Encourage everyone you know to

speak out for Asia Bibi by joining this CALL FOR MERCY.

For those in bonds,

Tom White Executive Director

Simply sending all the overseas Paks back to Pakistan would destroy their society and impoverish them to a degree never imagined in human history.

We need to get tough with these guys and threaten to overrun them with their own overseas population unless they get their act together.

Foolish suggestion.

Do you really think that we’ll send all Pockies home? Hell no, we love them too much.

sounds good to me. Or we could make a pact with India and take them by force.

Even the demons recognized Jesus..
know this, Muslims, someday you, too, will bow to Him.

But...it’ll be too late.
