And we are accused of being racist when we object to those people spreading their hate in the UK.

Someone needs to get her the heck out of that horrid country fast. Italy has offered her asylum.

A miracle!

How awful! Poor woman is probably feeling crazy after all those years alone. Most people would have died.

Yes, and there were mob riots over her acquittal by the Pakistani Supreme Court.

It's a miracle.

Welcome to modern civilization.

Let the woman be !

Religious fanatics -- extremely dangerous world wide. Glad to know that she was finally released and not executed for her religious beliefs.

Just try to imagine 8 years in solitary confinement waiting to be executed. What would that do to a mind.

From stories like this to being told yesterday by *'a true Catholic' that *'women who use BC are just as bad as people who have abortions and are causing another Holocaust.' Religion is a very odd beast. *His words not mine.

Wow. And ladies in the USA think they need a march.....

Superstition is awesome!

She drank water from a cup before the Muslims? Is blasphemous?

It's insane that I could be jailed or even put to death elsewhere on this planet for subscribing to atheism. It's also not lost to me that there forces within thhe United States who would like to do the same.

If blasphemy is executable I almost died earlier today when I tried to get a Muslim to see my pic of the prophet. In all fairness He upset me. Completely outta character for me.

Blasphemy!! Terribly backwards - so sad for her!

wow......finally

Protesters Delay Release Of Pakistani Woman Acquitted For BlasphemyPakistani protestors called for Asia Bibi to be killed, along with the three supreme court judges who issued the verdict that set her free. Bibi spent eight years on death row for insulting Islam before she was acquitted by the Supreme Court. Save us all from bloodthirsty a-holes, no matter what supposed god they pray to. We definitely need more of this Middle Ages nonsense in the West. More hatred, another desire to kill someone not like them selves. What an old, sickening, disgusting story! Someone else’s lack of belief in YOUR religion does NOT hurt you; your faith and your religion is in YOUR own heart and no one can take it away!
