Update on Asia Bibi

British members of Parliament call for the reform of Pakistan's blasphemy laws.

Frankly, the notion that blasphemy laws can be reformed is about as kooky as saying the the Nuremberg laws or communism or Jim Crow or apartheid can be reformed. What sort of reform did the MPs have in mind? Shorter sentences? The abolition of the death penalty (to be replaced with life imprisonment)? A change in the rules of evidence or how appeals are handled? Just what compromises will be sufficient so that the MPs can go back to sleep?

Here is a radical notion: why not treat Pakistan the same way apartheid South Africa was treated? The only reform worth talking about is to eliminate the blasphemy laws entirely.

For those who do not know who she is, here is the story about Asia Bibi's unjust imprisonment and death sentence for "blasphemy" against the Prophet Muhammad.

Please continue to pray for Asia Bibi and her family.
