Family waits to see if mother, accused of blasphemy, will be hanged

Asia Bibi, a 45 year-old woman in Pakistan's pubjab province, was sentenced to death by the Pakistani government. Bibi, a Christian, was accused of insulting the Muslim religion. Apparently, Bibi dipped her cup into a bucket of drinking water during a lunch break at her job working as a field worker. Now, prosecuters claim that she has contaminated the drinking water because she is not Muslim. While victims claim to have heard Bibi's slurs against the prophet Muhammad, there is no direct evidence. The teachings of Muhammad do not say anything about prosecution for blasphemy. However, Islamic scholars have created their own laws against blasphemy that call for the death penalty. Bibi is the first case of for blasphemy in Pakistan.

I wonder what would happen if the victim were male.

  1. I’m Charles David by name, i want to use this medium to alert all loan seekers to be very careful because there are scam everywhere, Few months ago I was financially strained, and due to my desperation I was scammed by several online lenders. I had almost lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to a very reliable lender called Dr Purva Pius ( A God fearing man) who lend me a loan of $237,000 under 72 working hours without any stress. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan from this company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them i filled the loan application form and proceeded with all that was requested of me and to my shock I was given the loan, If you are in need of any kind of loan just contact him now via: {urgentloan22@gmail.com}

    I‘m using this medium to alert all loan seekers because of the hell I passed through in the hands of those fraudulent lenders.

    Thanks you Dr Purva Pius Loan service for your help.
