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

Everyday I'm thankful that I wasn't born a muslim and that I wasn't born in an Islamic country. Just the thought of being muslim is like being in hell. I would much rather die than be a muslim. I guess that's why muslims blow themselves up all the time. It's like their only way out of an oppressive cult and society.

Another update to the story.

Despite the preliminary findings the high court in Pakistan has ruled that the President of Pakistan did not have the authority to pardon her and that the high court should be the one to hear her appeal.

Last week, a government minister said an initial inquiry into the case showed she had not committed blasphemy. But the Lahore High Court last month prevented Zardari from granting a pardon and ruled that the High Court should be allowed to decide her appeal.

It may or may not be a moot point how that goes as a hard line cleric has now offered $6000 to the person who kills her.

A hardline Pakistani Islamic cleric has offered a reward to anyone who kills a Christian woman convicted of blasphemy against Islam.

Maulana Yousef Qureshi made the announcement Friday at a rally in the northwestern town of Peshawar.

He said his mosque would give $6,000 to the person who kills Asia Bibi.

"We will strongly resist any attempt to repeal laws which provide protection to the sanctity of Holy Prophet Mohammad," Qureshi told a rally of hardline Islamists.

Qureshi, a cleric who has been leading a congregation at the 17th-century Mohabat Khan mosque for decades, told Reuters he was determined to see her killed.

"We expect her to be hanged and if she is not hanged then we will ask mujahideen and Taliban to kill her."

This is the same guy who put the the $1mil bounty on the cartoonist that drew the cartoons of Mohammad.
