Pakistan Coming to It's Senses: Rimsha Bailed!

Rimsha Masih,  the Pakistani Christian girl accused of blasphemy for allegedly defacing the Qu' ran has been released on bail.

Even the most veracious supporters of the blasphemy law have come out in support of the 11-year-old girl allegedly suffering from Down’s Syndrome.

Khalid Jadoon Chishti, the Muslim Cleric who fabricated evidence against Rimsha in order to get the christian community in his area to leave (a claim which he denies) to leave has been arrested and himself accused of blasphemy.

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are based on British colonial laws dating from 1860 and were amended in the 1980s to add life imprisonment and the death penalty by then dictator General Ziaul Haq. 

Prominent figures like Salman Taseer (the former governor of Punjab) and Shahbaz Bhatti (the Federal Minister for Minorities) have been assassinated for their opposition to the blasphemy laws.

Good thing to see Pakistan coming back to it's senses, I can finally sleep at night knowing that there's still a glimmer of hope of this Country.
