Asia Bibi, a 45-year-old mother-of-five, denies blasphemy and told investigators that she was being persecuted for her faith in a country where Christians face routine harassment and discrimination.

Editor's notes: we don't kill them when they practice blasphemy. When discussing the differences between Christianity and the Islam, this sort of thing should never be left out of the discussion. While Obama insists that Islam is a religion of peace, he has nothing to say about this idiocy. Islam was founded as a violent response to Christian invaders in mid-600 (A.D.). Both religions were wrong, of course, but 1,400 years later, one has "grown up" in its own belief system, the other has a long way to go.
