Musings of a Recovering Lutheran: Update on Asia Bibi
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Update on Asia Bibi

A group of five hundred self-described moderate Pakistani scholars warn against mourning the death of Salman Taseer, Punjabi governor of Pakistan. The group, called Jamaat-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat Pakistan, has supported Pakistan's draconian anti-blasphemy laws and opposed the Taliban. (WARNING: graphic pictures at the link above)

Pakistan may be the most dangerous country in the world right now. One of the political parties forming Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani's coalition has left, leaving him without a majority government. The country's military has nuclear weapons, and parts of the country are controlled by the Taliban. Osama bin Laden is alleged to be hiding in Pakistan.

And in the crossfire are innocents like Asia Bibi.

Please continue to pray for Asia Bibi and her family.
