Asia Bibi ‘Not Offered UK Asylum Amid ‘Concerns Of Unrest And Attacks’
Britain has not offered asylum to a Pakistani Christian woman freed after eight years on death row for blasphemy because of fear it would prompt “unrest” in the UK and attacks on embassies, her supporters claim.
Asia Bibi and her family had appealed for sanctuary in Britain after her conviction was quashed by Pakistan’s supreme court.
The acquittal of the 53-year-old Catholic farmworker prompted days of demonstrations by hardline Islamist parties in Pakistan who had campaigned for her to be hanged.
The mother-of-five remains hidden in Pakistan after Imran Khan’s government agreed to allow a petition against the court decision, as part of a deal to halt the protests.
A UK campaign group in touch with the family said the British government was working to help Asia Bibi, but had stopped short of offering asylum.
Weasel Zippers comments:
In other words, they will give up their principles because they fear Islamists in Britain will do what they are doing in Pakistan. And meanwhile, she lives in fear of possibly being killed at any moment by the mobs while people sit by and do nothing. This is what a real person in need of asylum looks like.
She should be offered asylum in the United States.
ReplyDeleteYes. I wonder why Trump has not made that happen already.

ReplyDeleteBecause its not our problem.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2.5 million Christians in Pakistan ..... I'd just as soon they all stay there, or go anywhere else but prosperous Western Democracies.
If you start advertising that you are willing to exfiltrate oppressed poverty stricken Christians to the prosperous West every time the western media publicizes their story you're going to open the floodgates to many millions more of them in Pakistan, India, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Iran,and Egypt.
Its that feux duty we fill to fix all the world's problems that allows people to play on our sympathies.
Like the Central America migrants recently claiming in US courts their Constitutional Rights are being violated. Where else in the world would they even try such a stupid ploy but with us? The Media has globally advertised our domestic divisiveness on the issue and they are playing the cards our sympathy's have dealt them.
Fuck this Pakistani Bitch. She knew the risks of being a Christian in a Muslim dominated society. I can feel sorry for her plight without feeling the need to fix it. Her people have had asylum offers from all over the region but they are holding out for one that comes with western prosperity attached. That tells me safety is not her primary goal here.
OK .... maybe that was a bit harsh ..... but I'm tired of being the world's savior.
ReplyDeleteShe has been granted asylum in France, Spain and other nations since 2015.
Why is he still pushing for UK, Canada, and US asylum?
Its because the leftist media wants to play the game. If Trump doesn't grant her asylum he's an asshole ..... and if he does then he will be an asshole for granting this persecuted Christian asylum but not the next persecuted Muslim in line ..... or the poor Honduran family.
Actually, I think you're right.
ReplyDeleteAnd that opens up a big potential Taqiyya problem; Muslims claiming to be Christians needing asylum ...
right?
Well its interesting that Islam allows Muslims to pretend they are not, but Christians in the Muslim world would rather sit in prison for a decade than pretend to convert.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a man of faith ..... I'm a man of reason.
I would lie my ass off to escape death.
But hey ..... if your faith in your faith is strong enough to stick your head in lions mouth ...... its not my responsibility to kill the lion for you.
Faith in abstract principles is ALWAYS what causes men to do great things.
