Capitulation to extremists? Clearly. What now for Asia Bibi?

Does anyone know how old she is, I can't see it anywhere? She looks fairly young but has 5 children which I assume she had before she went to prison in 2010 (I hope so anyway!). They'll have to get the whole family out or those left behind won't be around for long if the fundamentalists get their way.
I think she has quite a distinctive face and I would recognise her if I saw her. Last night I could see her when I closed my eyes to go to sleep. One good thing is to see so many countries offering her sanctuary. Everything crossed in the hope she can get safely to one of them.

Since for some reason the 'apologists' seem to have distanced themselves from this thread, may I speak on their behalf?
"She would be safe in the UK our Muslims are a different species, all nice and peace loving you understand"

Left-leaning commieBuddhist reporting for duty.
I’d say this to the naomis, talbots, and the rest. You know how the entire nation is bored RIGID with Brexit? Well, the same thing is happening with your constant, puerile chittering over Islam (and particularly Pakistan).
We really don’t believe your apocalyptic ranting over the doom that is coming!
Take up knitting, or golf, or supporting Chelsea, anything in fact, but DO be quiet.

This thread isn't about any forthcoming apocalyptic doom.
It's about the here and now...you haven't got any defense for these islamist savages have you.
That is the real reason you have stayed away and as usual when you do crawl out from under your rock all you can do is be rude.
''but DO be quiet.''
Says it all really...let the woman be hanged by savages and shut up...mmmmmmmmmmm.

Ladybirder, bainbrig clearly thinks that our concern for a Christian woman who committed the unforgivable act of sharing drinking water with Muslims has been on death row for 8 years on a trumped-up charge of blasphemy is misplaced. Puerile he calls it. Furthermore, having eventually been acquitted she now finds herself, at the insistence of madmen, supported by an equally mad prime minister, confined to her own country and likely to face prison – or worse – again. Good to know that our “Left-leaning commieBuddhist” embraces such a rational and humane sense of justice. It appears that he wholeheartedly supports whatever Pakistanis do – so long as they’re not Christian.
