Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani of Iran and an eleven year old Christian girl from Pakistan have been released from their respective jails. Both were jailed under Islamic Blasphemy laws.

As you will read from The New American, Youcef was originally jailed under the charge of converting to Christianity away from Islam. The Iranian Mullocracy came under international scrutiny for their plan to execute Pastor Youcef just for being a Christian. In order to propagandize the Iranian populace about Youcef’s incarceration Iran began creating new charges that made him look more criminal undoubtedly to sear the consciences of Muslim Iranians if Youcef was executed.

Eleven year old Rimsha has been released from jail in Pakistan undoubtedly because of the international publicity that she was framed by a Radical Muslim Cleric who planted burnt pages of the Quran in police evidence in order to bolster his accusation that Rimsha desecrated the Quran. It is still a mystery to me what the ultimate goal of the Cleric behind the Blasphemy accusation; however in Pakistan Muslims have been drumming up Blasphemy Charges against the Pakistan Christian minority for some time for vendettas and legal manipulation to acquire Christian property.

AND so I say this: Thank God Jesus Christ is on the throne of God listening to the prayers of Christian Believers. Prayer is the ultimate reason for the release of Youcef and Rimsha. I don’t know what the future plans of the families of Youcef and Rimsha are but I pray seeking asylum in a more favorable environment is in their thinking. Youcef and Rimsha are out of jail but they are still in their Islamic Supremacist nation’s of birth. God have mercy on their lives and their family’s lives.

Blasphemy Laws in Muslim nations are based on Islam’s Sharia Law. Apart from the religious significance of Sharia, the inseparable political part is entirely antithetical to American Liberty based on the U.S. Constitution. Frankly the political nature of Sharia would or should be ruled unconstitutional if it is ever to be allowed legal weight in the USA.  The death sentences handed out in the Muslim world for something as simple as insulting a religion are ludicrous in America. Imagine that Rimsha Salih was jailed for the accusation of having Quranic pages on her person that appeared to have been burnt.

I am mystified when Leftists line up behind Muslim Apologists in America to fight the national State wide movement to enforce American Laws for American Courts (ALAC). Muslim Apologists scream violation of the First Amendment establishing religious freedom. Those Muslim Apologists would be correct if the issue was about regulating the practice of Islam; HOWEVER the purpose for ALAC laws is to make sure that foreign law precedents cannot be used as case law in America which would include the political aspects of Sharia Law.

Thus, in America, no person can be executed for Free Speech that is critical of Islam. Trust me when an American Evangelist is preaching to Americans that do not follow a Christian lifestyle and that American is a Muslim that Muslim’s sense of Islamic Superiority will rise up in rage. Why? Because to tell a Muslim that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and faith in the Resurrection power of Jesus is the only way to Salvation, that Muslim will view that message as an insult to their Prophet Mohammed and to their Islamic religion. In Sharia such an insult is blasphemy that must be taken care of politically. AND “taken care of” means utilizing the punishment prescribed by Sharia Law, which is death.

Leftists are so blinded by their concept of Multiculturalism that they don’t realize the religious disregard Leftists have for any religion will be perceived as an insult to Islam according to Sharia Law. Leftists need to shine a light through the fog of Multiculturalism to support ALAC laws to protect their own First Amendment Civil Rights.
