Thousands protest in Pakistan over the acquital of woman who was on death row for blasphemy
- Thread starter AcademicSaucer
- Start date
I understand you feel bad, but political leaders have been assassinated for standing with Asia.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmaan_Taseer
Her (Asia's) family received death threats and had to go into hiding.
The lawyer helped stop her execution (scheduled in 2015), and helped prove her innocence. You can bet he was harassed and his family was targeted in this. Pakistan's government failed her in a big way by negotiating with (imo) local terrorist.
Like you said, there's probably nothing more he can do. The fact that he stayed this long speaks volumes to me for his character. Now he has to flee his home, his nation, because he did the right thing.
Can someone explain to me in simple terms how she offended the prophet?
Article only mentioms she drank water from a cup before offering the cup to some fruit pickers. Is that considered blasphemy in Pakistan lol
Edit: just read about the cleric that put a bounty on her head and wow...Just wow.
Do these people realise that news like this and their actions reflect very poorly on how their country is viewed from outside. Cuz all of this makes Pakistan sound like an intolerant hellhole.
And how come the government bends because of angry intolerant mobs?

Supposedly an argument broke out due to the cup issue, in which the offended women insisted that Asia need convert to Islam, and she rebuked with some unkind words about the Prophet. The fact that they were trying to trample on her own religious - and general - freedom is of course somehow trumped by her response.
Who the hell knows. This is the same country were a mob of people lynched two brothers in full daylight with police support. These supposedly fasting people (incident happened during Ramadan) gave zero fucks about their religion's ruling on murder and the fact that Islam does not allow individuals to enforce the law (the brothers were accused of theft which they were posthumously found innocent of), not to mention that they were supposed to be fasting.

There's some confuacon but it seema likely she is out and government is denying to delay protesters as long as possible. Things are about to get ugly in Pakistan (lol).
Pakistan keeps being a horrifying country. No wonder all the educated people wants to get the hell of out there...
Amazing news! Glad that she is out of that country where her life was going to remain uncertain. Hopefully she'll be doing well in the future.
And FUCK Muhammad, he was a piece of shit.
It feels good to live in a place that I don't have to be afraid to say that. I'm glad the poor woman was acquitted.
As much international pressure as possible needs to be put on the Pakistani government to help this woman. A truly disgusting situation.
OP

I womder if she is gonna need some security in the Netherlands too, I mean that Dutch director was killed in Amsterdam, anyway this is still a great improvement and I'm glad she escaped from that hellhole
Would have been good if Netherlands was just a cover destinations and she was flown somewhere else instead so she isnt found.
Well... that and the hundreds of thousands murderous lunatics that want her dead...
Yeah, that happened 14 years ago.
Dutch law enforcement has long since stepped up their game, there have been no other deaths. That said, we still have more than a few Islamic fundamentalists around. But I think she would be quite safe as long as she doesn't become a public figure.
One of the biggest misconceptions about radicalist is that they are simply uneducated.
I distinctly remember hearing a story that involved a woman throwing trash at Muhammad's daily route to a certain place. The one day she became too sick to show up and throw trash, he went to visit her and pay his regards. What are these lunatics trying to do here.
Yeah the government should get her outta there, say they're putting her in solitary for life or some shit.

If you are a religious minority you should probably try to get the fuck away from that shithole
As I said earlier, this was the plan by Government all along, to buy time in order to safely get her out, and hopefully strategise how to keep the streets protected (doubt it).
But well done for upholding the courts decision.
I feel sorry for other Pakistanis that will now suffer due to the outrage about to inflicted upon them by these fantanatics. Both Christians and Muslims.
Great. The heck out of there.
Kid is brainwashed. Looks it at as sad thing more than anything.
Leader of the TLP political party that was behind this protests has been arrested.

Every time this thread pops up I expect for this woman to have been murdered by these religious nuts.
Glad this wasn't that.
