My Way News - Pakistani cleric calls for Christian to be killed
My Way News reports: "A hardline Pakistani cleric offered a cash reward Friday for anyone who kills a Christian woman convicted of blasphemy against Islam. A Pakistani court sentenced Asia Bibi to death on Nov. 8, triggering protests from human rights groups and Christian organizations in Pakistan and abroad [...] Christians accused of, or convicted of blasphemy, have been murdered before in Pakistan. Rights groups say police are often reluctant to investigate the crimes or give minorities protection in general."

Comment: Let's agree to pray for the safety and welfare of Asia Bibi and for the persecuted church in Pakistan.
