A Pakistani anti-terrorism court sentenced a man to death Saturday for allegedly posting content on Facebook that insulted Islam.

Taimoor Raza was originally arrested last year after he unsuspectingly engaged in a debate over the religion with a counter-terrorism agent, according to The Guardian.

“My brother indulged in a sectarian debate on Facebook with a person, who we later come to know, was a [counter-terrorism department] official with the name of Muhammad Usman,” Waseem Abbas told The Guardian.

The 30-year-old is being punished under the country’s severe anti-blasphemy laws, which forbids any criticism of the prophet Muhammad and the faith in general.

Pakistan is the @$$hole of the world. Not sure if there is a more backward, violent, illiterate, in-bred and corrupt country

A fence should be built around the place to keep its denizens from leaving. Don’t even talk about admitting them into civilized countries.

Previews of coming attractions. The Biblical tribulation, probably several decades away, shows the jihad of Worldwide Islamic Supremacy reigning and blood flowing from every quarter. America will be gone. But not yet.

Now, America’s Free Constitutional Republic is being restored and a worldwide in-gathering of souls to Jesus is underway for the next several decades before Christ comes for His church and it all comes crashing down.

In the enlightened USA we don’t execute for posts. We just fire you.
