The Catholic Culture website reports today (November 11, 2010) the a Pakistani Christian mother has been sentenced to death for blaspheming the prophet Mohammed, after she refused to convert to Islam.
Asia Bibi, a resident of Ittanwali in the eastern province of Punjab, was working at a local farm when Muslim women with whom she worked urged her to convert to Islam. Bibi refused, saying that Christianity was the only true religion.
Angry Muslim men went to Bibi's home and started beating her. They also tortured her children, but someone informed police.
Police arrested Bibi on blasphemy charges. Following a trial, she was sentenced to death.
