Bos News Life reported yesterday that the release of five Christians charged with insulting Islam has been negotiated in Pakistan. Under the arrangement, a Punjab court ordered the five released, and Islamic clergy will issue a fatwa declaring them innocent of blasphemy. The charges against the five grew out of communal violence that was triggered after an argument between a 12-year old Christian boy and a Muslim acquaintance. Their argument resulted in a sticker containing the name of Allah ending up on the ground. Meanwhile Pakistan's Federal Minister for Minorities, Shahbaz Bhatti, says he favors repeal of Pakistan's blasphemy laws.

The Voice of the Martyrs website will probably tell of a 20 year old now in jail for 4 years because she was converting people to Christ in her village. Also in Pakistan. Good grief, what is it with Muslims and these 12 year old martyrs --egypt and now pakistan.
I guess they know that Islam just doesn't have the same positive appeal as Christianity.
