Sentenced To Death For A Sip Of Water

As her religion faces persecution across the Middle East, a Christian woman explains why she faces hanging in Pakistan for the crime of ‘blasphemy’
More and more people join the crowd as they push me towards the home of the village headman. I recognize the house — it’s the only one that has a garden with grass growing in it. They throw me to the ground. The village imam speaks to me: “I’ve been told you’ve insulted our Prophet. You know what happens to anyone who attacks the holy Prophet Mohammed. You can redeem yourself only by conversion or death.”

“I haven’t done anything! Please! I beg you! I’ve done nothing wrong!”

The qari with his long, well-combed beard, turns to Musarat and the three women who were there on the day of the falsa harvest.

You won't hear a thing from the left...they babble about the "Republican War on Women", support Islam, and call people who don't support Islam racist, fear mongers etc. The "religion of peace" will call a woman who is raped an adulterer unless she can find male witnesses to say she was raped, will stone to death a woman seen in the company of a non-male relative, commit genital mutilation on women, and kill gays. Yet not one word from the so called women's rights activists, or the gay supporters about this. Just who di they think is "waging a war" on women? Hypocrites!

A pretty accurate portrait of life in a theocracy, where blasphemy is a crime.
