Mass Protest By Pakistani Muslims For The Beheading Of A Christian Woman by Nobody: 9:12am On Nov 09, 2018
What Joy there is in seeing fellow human slaughtered like a Ram . Even common sense without any Religion knows this is cruel. All because she was accused by two women that hated her that she abused a "Prophet".

Was there a recorded audio of the Abuse? No!
Was there a video confirming the " offense " ? No!

Two women just came out to accuse another woman that she insulted the "Prophet" and so she must be beheaded.


Thousands of hardline Muslims of the "Religion of Peace" today demanded a Christian mother cleared of blasphemy gets beheaded.

Asia Bibi was arrested in 2009 on charges of insulting Islam's prophet and sentenced to death the following year.

Her conviction was overturned last week due to lack of evidence and she was released in a secret location today after eight years on death row.

Furious demonstrators marched in Karachi to protest her acquittal and call for her execution.

Why was Asia Bibi arrested? 

In 2009 the 54-year-old mother of five, a farm worker, went to fetch water. An argument took place after two fellow farm workers refused to drink from the same container as a Christian.

Nearly a week later, the two women said Miss Bibi had insulted the Prophet Muhammad and she was charged with blasphemy.

The charge carries the death penalty and Miss Bibi was sentenced to death in 2010.

Her case garnered worldwide attention and brought sharp criticism of Pakistan’s blasphemy law. 

'We can sacrifice our lives but can never compromise on the honour of the prophet,' said a speaker at the protest.

The demonstration comes hours after Bibi was flown from the central city of Multan - where she was in custody until yesterday - to a 'safe' place elsewhere in Pakistan.

'She has been freed,' her lawyer Saif-ul-Mulook said in a text message to AFP. 'I have been told that she is on a plane but nobody knows where she will land.'

European Parliament president Antonio Tajani has offered Miss Bibi and her family protection in Europe.

Her lawyer has also been offered temporary asylum in the Netherlands after facing death threats - but they are still in Pakistan at the moment, friends said.

Following protests at last week's ruling, the government agreed a deal with Islamists to impose a travel ban on Bibi, and not to challenge a review of the Supreme Court's ruling.

One of the most vocal groups in the protests - the Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) - called for 'mutiny' against the army's top brass and the assassination of the top court's justices.

Following Bibi's release, the TLP vowed to return to the streets if she was allowed to leave the country.

'If the promise is broken and she is sent abroad, then Allah willing, a movement will start and it will be decisive,' said TLP leader Afzal Qadri, after an earlier message from the group accused the government of reneging on the agreement.

Foreign ministry spokesman Muhammad Faisal on Thursday denied media reports that Bibi had left the country, telling AFP: 'She is in Pakistan'.

Intelligence sources also told AFP that she had not left the country.

An order for her release arrived Wednesday at the jail in Multan where she was held, a prison official told AFP.

'Asia Bibi has left the prison and has been transferred to a safe place!' tweeted Antonio Tajani, president of the European Parliament.

Another civil aviation official, in Multan, said a small plane arrived in the city with 'a few foreigners and some Pakistanis' on board to fetch Bibi.

Her case has underscored deep divisions between traditionalists and modernisers in the devoutly Muslim country.

The conviction stemmed from a 2009 incident when Bibi was asked to fetch water while out working in the fields.

Muslim women labourers objected to her touching the water bowl as a non-Muslim, and a fight reportedly erupted.

A local imam then claimed Bibi insulted the Prophet Mohammed.

Bibi has consistently denied the charges, and her prosecution rallied international rights groups, politicians and religious figures.

Pope Benedict XVI called for her release in 2010, while his successor, Pope Francis, met her daughter in 2015.

Bibi's husband Ashiq Masih has appealed for Britain or the United States to grant the family asylum and several governments including those of Italy and France have offered to help.

Take away iran from that your assumption ( in my opinion ) is the most developed, real muslim country, more sophisticated than the rest. Unlike most of the countries in the region, Iran is a real country with a real nation. It’s not the end result of Brits and French drawing lines in the sand or founded by one single person.

Iran has more graduate in STEM fields than the rest of them all.

I like liberal and moderate Muslim. There are many Muslims in southern Nigeria that enjoy living and working with.

However, conservative Muslims are almost the same as terrorists.

It is of no surprise that conservative Muslims in a Sharia state are bloodthirsty and violent.

Honest Muslims should band together and stop this nonsense.
