DONAJENDRO 1,914 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/asia-bibi-case-protests-pakistan-blasphemy-christian-woman-released-supreme-court-a8610786.html Protesters have taken to the streets after a Christian woman who spent eight years on death row in Pakistanon blasphemy charges was acquitted. Ms Bibi, a farm labourer and 47-year-old mother-of-four, angered fellow workers, who were Muslim, by taking a sip of water from a cup she had got for them. They refused to use a cup from which a Christian had drunk, and demanded she convert to Islam. When she refused, it prompted a mob to later allege that she had insulted the prophet Mohammed. She was subsequently convicted and sentenced to death in 2010. Ms Bibi and her family have always maintained her innocence and denied that she made any derogatory remarks about Islam. The case has been a source of division within Pakistan, where two politicians who sought to help Bibi were assassinated. Following the verdict street protests and blockades of major roads spread, paralysing parts of Islamabad, Lahore and other cities. One of the TLP's top leaders called for the death of the judges involved in making the decision to overturn Ms Bibi’s conviction. "They all three deserve to be killed. Either their security should kill them, their driver kill them, or their cook kill them," TLP co-founder Muhammad Afzal Qadri told a protest in Lahore.

Morphine Prince 109,683 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The fact people think others should be killed for believing in a different religion or for disrespecting a religion is extremely disturbing. The fact people think they can decide who lives or dies is also disturbing... but that’s a whole other topic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
