John 16:2 Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
A Christian husband and wife in Pakistan have been sentenced to death because they allegedly sent a text message with a comment that was insulting to the prophet Mohammed.
Shafqat Emmanuel and Shagufta Kausar from Gojra were sentenced after what has been described as a manipulation of the legal system to benefit a Muslim leader.
Maulvi Mohammed Hussain, a Muslim leader from a mosque in the couple’s home city, complained last year that Emmanuel had used his wife’s phone to send a message that insulted the prophet. Kausar, who did not send or receive the message, was sentenced to death because it was her phone.
The couple’s lawyer, Nadeem Hassan, said that the Islamists brought in a fake SIM card from a phone and claimed it came from the woman’s cell. However, Hassan said the “evidence” was just part of a well-orchestrated plot on the part of the Muslims.
“The complainant was involved in a dispute with the pair and had made a threat with the full knowledge that they would face the death penalty,” he said.
The area of Pakistan where the case was brought is notorious for Muslim residents claiming Christians insulted the prophet as a way to have them killed so their possessions and homes can be taken.
I wish there was a way I could comfort these people. Evidently lying is not frowned upon over there
when it is used to accuse innocent people. They have risked so much becoming Christians in a Moslem country, but to die for Our Savior is just as much of an honor for Christians as it is for Moslems to die for Allah. Do you people realize that their goal is to dominate the world, to eradicate all Christians. This is nothing compared to what they have planned for our future. What is really sad is that they are profiting by seizing these Christians property in the process. Do they have children? What will become of them? May God have mercy on us all.
