    Christian Asia Bibi spent ten years on death row in Pakistan, an Islamic pit, for drinking water out of a container than only believers in Allah could have water from. She was freed from prison finally, but now she is in fear of her life because the people of Pakistan are so bloodthirsty and are threatening her.

    Her husband has asked the USA, the UK, France, Spain and Canada for help. Canada has a loon in charge and the other countries have huge Muslim populations themselves so the USA should allow this woman and her family into the USA, where the air we breathe is liberty and freedom.

    Pakistan does not want to let her out of the country so Trump needs to insist that she and her family be allowed out in total safety.

    'The Christian woman in Pakistan who was on death row for nearly a decade before being acquitted by the country's top court last week is now seeking asylum elsewhere, after widespread violent protests throughout the country.

    'Asia Bibi was convicted in 2010 after she allegedly contaminated a water jug -- an offense viewed as blasphemy in the Muslim country.'

    Asia Bibi, Christian woman accused of blasphemy, seeks asylum amid violent protests

    Amen!
    My church has been praying for this lady's freedom for the past 8 or 9 years that she has been in prison, mostly in solitary confinement. It is clear that her life is in the greatest danger whilst she remains in Pakistan and is is absolutely disgraceful that neither the UK nor USA has offered her and her family asylum. I believe Spain may be willing to take her, but most Indians speak some English and as an illiterate peasant woman she will need a lot of support which America or Britain would be better able to offer.
    An American friend of mine has said that Trump will not let her into America because he is a racist and she has a brown face. Here's an opportunity for Trump to prove his detractors wrong!

    Trump is not in the least a racist. He just threw a first-class party for young black Republicans in the White House and 40% of American blacks approve of his actions as President. Trump has always donated to black charities and events. His daughter is a Jewess.

    I agree that Asia Bibi and anyone endangered with her should be given US protection and asylum ASAP. I would like to see the Trump administration effect that. I'd also like to read the outcries of the Islamic world denouncing all of this Pakistani Muslim nonsense. Anyone got any links?

    "Didn't you get the memo?" Trump is racist by "definition." He is a straight white male. Thus he is also homophobic and sexist. This all became official the moment he went GOP. His MAGA platform made him xenophobic as well, oh, and a double racist. His real attitude, his stance, his actions, have nothing to do with it. Everything will be twisted to conform to the "definitions," or ignored.

    The US does not need to grant her asylum. But I can see why the US would.

    That said, is it really that bad in the UK?

    Too many Pakistanis there for her safety in my opinion. The UK has banned the moderate Robert Spencer as well as Pamela Geller. The UK? Hungary would be better.

    Is the UK considering granting Bibi and her family asylum?

    Malala Yousafzai. I have not heard anything from her about Asia Bibi's plight.
    I certainly hope so. A petition has gone to the P.M. When asked about the case in Parliament, she dodged the issue.

    Would it be correct to say that Malala Yousatzai is a Muslim?

    The UK would not be safe for a Christian who drank from water for Allah.

    Craven and disgraceful response from HM Gov't! Malala Yousafzai was given asylum in the UK after having been shot by Moslem extremists. I'm not aware of her having had any security problems here.

    This is the country that gave Karl Marx political asylum for crying out loud!

    We have a spineless government, unfortunately. We should be first in the line to offer asylum: Pakistan is our ex-colony and we are in part at least responsible for the post-1947 mess it's become so we have a responsibility to the victims of that mess like Asia

    You can borrow President Trump for a week or two. He may be a lot of things, but he's not spineless. :Laugh
