Asia Bibi - Pakistan blasphemy case

oops didn't see other thread

Ayslum is way over used in this Country too many claim it for no real reason.

Yet here is a case where asylum should be granted straight away for obvious reasons. I would be concerned though that the hang them mob has many supporters and followers here willing to carry out their wishes. So would need a totally new identity too.

Look at the thousands and thousands wanting to hang her, immigration from that country should be virtually zero! This case highlights how careful we should be with immigation from certain countries.

You see the numbers in the streets and the hate in their faces and surely you must ask why do we want any immigration from there?

Apart from those genuinely fleeing these people.

Those who say well we are not all like that etc, then why not stay and try and move your country forward?

ps can Anjem Choudary claim asylum back over there while we are at it.A straight swop seems fair.

I don't think anybody should be granted asylum by the UK government, ever. For such a process involves rooking the taxpayer to support cases that they might not agree with.
But I would support a system where individuals, or community groups, can sponsor immigrants with visas stamped NRTPF, and would whole heartedly support Mr Hank Hill in his sponsorship of the Asia Bibi family. There would be a cost to this naturally, around 3k a year for health care in round numbers or 6k a year per child getting a UK education, but I would be happy to chip in.
But would still not endorse taking taxpayers to court to get them to subsidise my or Hank's views on this.

You picked the wrong thread to post on SF.
The other thread which was first up is sympathetic to this woman and her family.

Not sure what criteria is used to grant or deny asylum but I've never seen anything as compelling as this.
Whilst the Supreme court in her land found for her the baying mob are demanding she be retried and hanged.
Currently moves are being made to block her leaving and if that happens she is doomed.
I'd like to see the UK government get involved and put pressure on her government.

On BBC News -  Just watching the loons in a massive crowd screaming about this poor woman.  It reminds me of the crowd scene in Life of Brian  - the messiah  (another film accused of blasphemy ) and John Cleese  as the priest  'are there any women present'?
shame these people simply have no sense of humour the ancient book runs their lives


and then some pro eu propaganda

you cannot say things like that - how very dare you - think of the reputation of the raj old chap!!!

If we can offer protection to people like rushdie I see no reason why we shouldn't offer asylum (this isn't an economic immigrant instance) to someone in fear of their life.Has this country lost its moral compass ?

Correct, we have a few million living here who would probably have her killed, but they won't find room for her.

Still very poor from the british government, not long ago we would had been the first to offer her asylum.

Upsetting them when we have a sizeable potential fifth column here might not be very wise.

the new Violent Crime Task Force has arrested more than 1,800 “violent, weapon-carrying people” since it was launched seven months ago.



And they aint even scratched the surface.

Why does religion turn some people into absolute nut-jobs? She looks too lovely to have all this sheet done to her. I just can't comprehend it.

we're all fooked arn't we.

Wilson Chowdhry, who is Chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, has said: “I’ve been lead to believe that the UK government had concerns that her moving to the UK would cause security concerns and unrest among certain sections of the community and would also be a security threat to British embassies abroad which might be targeted by Islamist terrorists.

saddo - that is a damning indictment on this nation

To think that we could not protect her and her family?!!!!!!!!

Oh the irony of it......the government fearful of what members of this so called religion of peace might do, both here and abroad, if they offered her "santuary" in this country....

No doubt their view is that she wouldn't be safer here in any case, since they have imported thousands and thousands of the same type as the ones she is trying to run away from who wish to kill her!!

It would appear that once again, our politicians continue to make decisions based on fear, (they say "concern"), of how some of the followers of an imported ideology might react.....explains a lot really...

Wilson Chowdhry of the British Pakistani Christian Association, said: “Britain was concerned about potential unrest in the country, attacks on embassies and civilians.

“They have not offered automatic asylum, whereas several countries have now come forward. They won’t be coming to Britain. The family will definitely not be coming to Britain.

He said Britain was “being helpful”, but it was “an enduring shame that a country with such a lauded history of helping refugees and asylum seekers, that when the Asia Bibi case has come before them, they haven’t been as generous as they have for many victims in the past”.

He went on: “It does seem to me that Britain is now a country that is unsafe for those who may be tarred with an allegation of blasphemy. We are very aware that there are extremist elements in this country.”

“Britain would have been one of their first choices. America, Britain and Canada, these would have been their first choices. It was a bit of a kick in the teeth.”

“I remember I was nine years old the first time I saw a video of a guy smashing his sister’s skull with a stone while the whole village watched and cheered,” says Mrie.

Such killings are meant to seal the matter, never to be spoken of again – perpetuating a culture of silence that functions to protect the killer.

How do the guardianistas rationalise importing people brought up with these ideas? Hoping they would change has been in vain.
