Asia Bibi, Pakistani Christian Sentenced to Death for Blasphemy

Submitted by Paula Duffy "Accounts of the 2009 incident all contain facts that indicate that Bibi, after being asked to fetch water while working as a farmhand with other women, was insulted by Muslim workers who refused to accept it from her, calling her "unclean" because she is Christian. Reportedly a dispute followed during which she was called "infidel" and her faith was branded a "religion of infidels.""

Voice of the Martyrs  "She told them Jesus is alive, but Mohammed is dead. “Our Christ is the true prophet of God,” she reportedly told them, “and yours is not true.”
"Upon hearing this response the Muslim women became angry and began to beat Asia Bibi. Then some men came and took her and locked her in a room. They announced from mosque loudspeakers that she would be punished by having her face blackened and being paraded through the village on a donkey."

Muslim Sets Christian on Fire, Murders Victims father, Wounds Victims's Younger Brother ......He Heard a Rumor  "A Muslim villager portrayed the incident as an honour killing stressing that it was because of Coptic Shehata Sabri teasing Yasser about a relationship he has with his sister, which prompted him and his friend to pour gasoline all over the Copt before setting him on fire. He denied that this incident will have an impact on the relations between the Muslims and Copts in the village."
Perhaps they will build a mosque on that spot.
