The Peace Worldwide (PWW) blog sent an email encouraging people to sign up for the cause of supporting Hector Aleem in his legal fight against an Islamic Supremacist system of justice inherent in Pakistan’s rule of law which condemns as blasphemy anything perceived as an insult (small or great) to Allah, Islam or Mohammed the founder of the theopolitical cult.
PWW provides a series of web addresses to peruse that will lead to the support of Hector Aleem. The first link is what caught my attention. That link is to a PWW post about another Christian being persecuted for her faith in Pakistan – Asia Bibi. You see Bibi is accused of blasphemy because she is a Christian gal taking water from a Muslim well. Gasp! Somehow that was perceived as blasphemy by the ever so tolerant religion of peace known as Islam but really is more an intolerant supremacist religion that has the corruptible characteristics of its founder Mohammed.
I am going to first post the email info about Hector Aleem’s support because I am very involved in following Hector with prayers for his release. Then I will post the PWW link about Asia Bibi.

Islamic cleric in Pakistan offers $5,800 reward to anyone who kills Christian woman accused of blasphemy

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - A hardline, pro-Taliban Pakistani Muslim cleric Friday offered a reward for anyone who kills a Christian woman sentenced to death by a court on charges of insulting Islam.
The sentence against Asia Bibi has renewed debate about Pakistan's blasphemy law which critics say is used to persecute religious minorities, fan religious extremism and settle personal scores. Non-Muslim minorities account roughly 4 percent of Pakistan's about 170 million population.
Maulana Yousef Qureshi, the imam of a major mosque in the northwestern city of Peshawar, offered a $5,800 (3,700 pounds) reward and warned the government against any move to abolish or change the blasphemy law.
"We will strongly resist any attempt to repeal laws which provide protection to the sanctity of Holy Prophet Mohammad," Qureshi told a rally of hardline Islamists.
"Anyone who kills Asia will be given 500,000 rupees in reward from Masjid Mohabat Khan," he said referring to his mosque.
While Qureshi is not believed to have a wide following, comments by clerics can provoke a violent response and complicate government efforts to combat religious extremism and militancy.
Qureshi, cleric who has been leading congregation at the 17th century Mohabat Khan mosque for decades, later told Reuters he was determined to see her killed.
"We expect her to be hanged and if she is not hanged then we will ask mujahideen and Taliban to kill her."...
Everyone Please pray for Asia Bibi, also do not forget Hector Aleem Chairman of Peace Worldwide who is in jail due to same charges. Hector Aleem is not convicted, please pray for his release.
