Asia Bibi: Saving a Life in a Clearly Meritorious and Urgent Refugee Case
By Dan Cadman on November 26, 2018
Matthew Continetti of the Washington Free Beacon has written a compelling piece about Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who was sentenced to death for supposedly blaspheming the prophet Mohammed.
After international outrage mounted, the Pakistani Supreme Court commuted the sentence. But because of internal pressures from rabble-rousing Islamic fundamentalists, the Pakistani prime minister has made it difficult for Bibi to leave the country, and her lawyer has been forced to flee for his own life.
So far, most Western nations have turned a deaf ear and blind eye to Bibi's plight, even though Islamists are allegedly going door to door in their zeal to find Bibi and exact vigilante vengeance against her for her "crime", even though it seems clear from the circumstances that it was Bibi who was the victim of a lifetime of persecution for her Christian religious beliefs in an overwhelmingly Muslim country that does not honor religious freedom for minorities.
