Sherry Rehman declared apostate deserving death
2011-01-09
One of Pakistan's most liberal women and former information minister Sherry Rehman has been declared wajibul qatal, an apostate who deserves death.

The Sultan Masjid in the Defence Housing Authority, a posh housing scheme that was started for Pakistan military officers in Karachi -- commercial capital of Pakistan -- more than four decades ago, passed the death edict on Rehman for moving a resolution in Pakistan's parliament to amend the draconian blasphemy law and remove the death penalty from it to protect Pakistan's religious minorities, the Politico has reported.

#2  Anon- No, but they will broadcast bogus hate crime stats against Muslims and CAIR's prevarications on issues.

#1  Western nations should regularly broadcast that apostasy laws, and those who advocate them, are "barbaric" and "uncivilized". It is a terribly bad habit to dismiss such things as "internal affairs", because tolerating them leads to far worse abuses.

A serious effort should be made to publicly shame those who advocate such laws, and to make them international pariahs. Murdering people because they reject a religion, all religion, or atheism, is intolerable, and this must be stated clearly and unambiguously.
