Christian Woman Sentenced To Death For Blasphemy

[CatholicWing]

"ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (Catholic Online) The Pakistani Christian post is one of several news sources carrying the horrific story of the death sentence handed down against a Christian woman named Asia Bibi (Christian woman sentenced to Death on accusation of Blasphemy) They reported:

"A Christian woman named Asia Bibi was sentenced to death by District and Session Courts after year long trial on accusation of blasphemy filed by Muslim villagers of Ittanwali, where she was residing from generations. While working in farms with other Muslim women, Asia Bibi was dragged in religious dialogues on June 19, 2009, when Muslim women termed her an "Infidel" and Christianity a "Religion of infidels" and pressed her to embrace Islam. Asia Bibi who is married and have two children, defended Christianity with her little knowledge and told Muslim women that Christianity is only True religion on which Muslim women made a roar and accused her defiling Prophet Mohammad".

"The Muslim men working in nearby fields also gathered and attacked Asia Bibi on which she fled to village in her home. The angry Muslims followed her and took her out of home and started beating her. They tortured her children also but meanwhile some one informed police. The police took Asia Bibi to police Station and filed FIR against her under section 295-B and C of Pakistan Penal Code but showed it a protective custody to other Christians of Ittanwali village. Section 295 B and C PPC are subject to life in prison or death sentence but it is first judgment in history of Pakistan when a woman is sentenced to death."

Highly reliable Asia News added further facts in their report Tuesday, November 9, 2010 out of Islamabad. It confirmed the story and added that Asia Bibi was severely beaten by Muslims before being arrested. They noted that "blasphemy charges were brought against Bibi because of pressure from local Muslim leaders" and that "according to the National Commission on Justice and Peace (NCJP) of the Catholic Church, between 1986 and August 2009, at least 974 people have been charged for defiling the Qur'an or insulting the Prophet Muhammad." This Christian woman was beaten, imprisoned and has now been sentenced to die because she shared her faith in Jesus Christ!

This so called "Blasphemy Law" is in actuality an instrument of oppression with which Christians and other religious believers are persecuted by Islamic supremacists. The use of so called "Blasphemy" or "Religious Defamation" laws to persecute is not confined to Pakistan. On Tuesday, November 9, 2010 the Catholic League issued the following Press Release:

Wow, they keep this stuff up and people may start to think their religion is violent ! I hear they call it a religion of peace and tolerance, I wonder why so many of their faithful are killing people who disagree with them. Their Quran is very clear on the peace and tolerance stuff they practice.
