Prayer Needed for Disabled Girl Accused of Blasphemy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Pakistan (MNN) ― Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari has
ordered an investigation into the arrest of a disabled girl in his
country. The case stems from an incident involving a young girl between
11-14 years of age who reportedly has Down syndrome.

Todd Nettleton with
Voice of the Martyrs
says, “She has been accused of burning pages in a Quran, and that led to
a radical Muslim mob marching in her village demanding her arrest–even
some of them shouting to kill the coffers or kill the infidel.”

Ramsha, whose last name is being withheld by authorities to protect her
family, has been taken into custody. Nettleton says there are a lot of
questions that need to be answered. “How did this girl come to be in the
possession of burned pages, and were those pages even a Quran? I have
seen some reports that said, ‘Yes, there was Arabic writing on the
paper, but not actually from a Quran.’”

The arrest is part of Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy law. Nettleton
says the law “just produces such swift arrest and punishment that often
times the punishment comes before the facts are actually known.”

Because this has become a high profile case, Nettleton is hopeful. “The
president of the country is saying we need to investigate this fully.
Hopefully that improves the chances that they really will get to the
bottom and discover what the facts of the case are.”

This case didn’t just affect the girl and her family, Nettleton says,
“All of the Christians in this particular village had left the village
because they were frightened. There was an angry Muslim mob marching
through the village shouting what they were going to do to Christians.
There’s some work going on now to try to make it safe for them to come
back to their homes.”

What does this mean for religious freedom in Pakistan? Simply put, there
is none. Nettleton says, “There is a great understanding among the
Christians in Pakistan that if you choose to evangelize, you are taking a
risk. You are doing something that is very daring in that culture and
in that society.”

Nettleton would like you to pray for this situation. “We need to pray
for justice for this family. We need to pray for those who had to flee
their homes and for all of the Christians in Pakistan that they will
continue to serve Christ, even to the point of evangelizing, despite the
risks that that brings.”
