My Way News - Sermons motivated killer of Pakistani politician
My Way News reports: "The slaying of Punjab province Gov. Salman Taseer nearly a week ago shocked many around the world, but tens of thousands of Pakistanis have expressed support for 26-year-old Mumtaz Qadri, who said he killed the governor for criticizing laws that carry the death penalty for insulting Islam [...] Pope Benedict XVI spoke out against Pakistan's blasphemy laws Monday, saying they should be repealed because they were used as a pretext for violence against non-Muslims."
