Pakistani hardliners threatened attacks if Christian mother Asia Bibi is released from prison. Bibi is condemned to death for insulting the prophet Muhammad.
The AP reported:
Around 250 hard-line Muslims staged a demonstration in the central Pakistani city of Lahore on Wednesday, warning the president not to pardon a Christian woman sentenced to death for insulting Islam.
They also denounced any attempt to change Pakistan’s blasphemy law, which critics say is often misused to persecute Christians like Asia Bibi and other minorities. Her case has prompted outrage from human rights groups and a personal appeal from Pope Benedict XVI for her release.
But hard-line Islamic groups in Pakistan have pushed back and some have even threatened officials in the past who suggested reforming or repealing the blasphemy law. These groups have significant power since politicians from the major parties rely on them for votes.
“We are ready to sacrifice our life for the Prophet Muhammad,” chanted protesters in Lahore — many of whom were students from Islamic seminaries in the city.The rally was organized by the Movement for Protection of the Prophet’s Honor, a group of hard-line Sunni Muslims that was formed in 2001 to oppose changes in the blasphemy law.
Bibi, a 45-year-old mother of five, has said she was falsely accused by a group of Muslim women angry at a dispute over whether they could share the same water bowl. She has been jailed in the eastern province of Punjab since her initial arrest 1 1/2 years ago.

Then why would it be a problem simply to shoot them?
Ceroth commented:
What a target rich environment. Just send a couple of accidental drone attacks and it would take care of all of our problems.

Let’s help them out with that.
Islam, the religion of piece. Bloody, bloody pieces. F*cking throwbacks.
Larkin commented:
Oh, okay. We’ll just go ahead and hang her then, since you all insist.
The “religion” of peace at its kindest.
Raul Bosque commented:
I call for the death of any Muslim who torches Christian Churches and sets fire to parishioners.
dwd commented:
The inevitable result of the appeasement of terror… more threats of terror. Will one person be killed for the “greater good” to prevent the psychos from attacking? Wonder how President Spock would rule in such a scenario.
Robb76 commented:
Well, if in fact thy are ready to die for allah, lets arrange the meeting.
apodoca commented:
When is our Christian president going to stand up for the lives of Christians in Islamic countries? He’s always blathering on about making Islam look bad. What does he have to say about these Pakistani Muslims now?
ant commented:
Wow! Look at all those blonde, blue-eyed barbarians! No wonder TSA has to check everyone. I saw an interview with Col. Allen West the other day, he said in plain language (something we never hear from our representatives) that if these people are so willing to die for allah then let’s grant them their wish.
Scott commented:
Why aren’t we offering asylum to this woman and her family? Why aren’t other predominately Christian nations?
ant commented:
That’s a good question,Scott, and I guarantee our leaders would give you numerous excuses all based on lies and PC, not to mention a sensitivity to “local issues”.
tommy mc donnell commented:
everyone should remember that it was not the muslims who said that islam was the religion of peace. it was the american media.
Josh commented:
Seriously my fellow Americans…. Do you really want these guys living over here?? If you give them an inch, they will take a mile. Muslims are taught to befriend Christians and Jews until they have the upper hand. Then it is time to kill us. The act of Taqiyaah is from the Koran.
Inviting these folks to live in your neighborhood is like inviting a lion to lick the wound on your knee, hoping that the lion only means well.
fightinggranny commented:
This tolerance that they expect from the US.
regularguy commented:
We’ve got problems when we have islamic nuts running the government of Pakistan (with nukes, no less) who are still less bloodthirsty than the completely lunatic population they govern.
