Imprisoned Pakistani Catholic Asia Bibi writes to Pope Francis saying only God can free her

Asia Bibi is in prison awaiting execution on false accusations of blasphemy. Only God can free her because Christians in the West don't dare to speak out on her behalf: "Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims." -- Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013
So Asia Bibi and other Pakistani Christians accused of blasphemy have no friend, no protector, and no spokesman.
"Imprisoned Pakistani Catholic Asia Bibi Writes to Pope Francis Saying Only God Can Free Her," by Jeremy Reynalds for Assist News, January 4:

According to an article in the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines News Service (CBCP News) relying on a Dec. 31 report in the Italian daily Tempi, Asia Bibi said, "I also hope that every Christian has been able to celebrate the Christmas just past with joy. Like many other prisoners, I also celebrated the birth of the Lord in prison in Multan, here in Pakistan." She continued by saying that "only God will be able to free me" and made a point of thanking the 'Renaissance Education Foundation" that helped make her "dream come true" to live Christmas with her husband and children by bringing them to Multan.
"I would have liked to be in St. Peter's for Christmas to pray with you," she told Pope Francis, "but I trust in God's plan for me and hopefully it will be achieved next year."
Bibi is awaiting the conclusion of an appeals process after being incarcerated for four and a half years without trial.
Working as a farmhand in June 2009, she was asked to fetch water for some of her co-workers. She complied, but some of her Muslim colleagues refused to drink the water as they considered Christians to be "unclean."
CBCP News said arguments followed (there was already a running feud between Bibi and a neighbor over property damage), and witnesses maintain that Bibi verbally abused the two women, their religion, and the prophet Muhammad.
A few days later, complaints were made to a cleric about these alleged derogatory comments, resulting in a mob coming to her house and beating her and members of her family.
Bibi was rescued by the police but, under pressure from the crowd, they charged her under Section 295 C of the Pakistan Penal Code, the country's notorious anti-blasphemy law.
"I am very grateful to all the churches that are praying for me and fighting for my freedom," CBCP News said she continued in the letter.
Bibi added, "I do not know how long I can go on and on. If I am still alive, it is thanks to the strength that your prayers give me. I have met many people who speak and fight for me. Unfortunately still to no avail. At this time I just want to trust the mercy of God, who can do everything, that all is possible. Only He can liberate me."
Bibi was also grateful to all the people who work and raise funds for her cause. She then talked about her daily hardships.
"This winter I am facing many problems: my cell has no heating and no suitable door for shelter from the bitter cold," CBCP News said she told the Pope. "Also the security measures are not adequate, I do not have enough money for daily needs, and I am very far from Lahore so my family cannot help me."
She concluded by asking Pope Francis to accept her best wishes for the new year. "I know you pray for me with all your heart," she wrote. "And this gives me confidence that one day my freedom will be possible. Certain to be remembered in your prayers, I greet you with affection. Asia Bibi, your daughter in the faith."

Pakistan ( Taliban kill 6 men " While they pray at Holy place " ) Sharia Law ????

KARACHI: The bodies of six men with their throats slit have been found near a holy place on the outskirts of Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, police said Tuesday.
The corpses were lying near the grave of Ayub Shah Bukhari Three of the dead worked at the same place while the others were frequent visitors.


Police said a note reading “Stop visiting shrines — from the Pakistani Taliban” was found at the scene along with a bloodstained knife.
In one of the bloodiest episodes, at least 50 people were killed in April 2011 in a suicide attack on a shrine in the city of Dera Ghazi Khan.
But senior police officer Amir Farooqi voiced caution over the note, said that he would not draw any conclusions until further investigation.
Police have detained some suspects and sent the bloodstained knife for forensic tests.
Karachi, Pakistan’s economic hub, has been plagued for years by ethnic, political, sectarian and criminal violence.

ISTANBUL ( Corruption investigation " 1700 cops fired " in Turkey )

ISTANBUL: Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan’s government purged hundreds of police officers overnight, media said, as part of a crackdown on a rival he accuses of trying to usurp state power by tarring him with a specious corruption investigation.
Some of the officers, who included members of the financial and organized crime, smuggling and anti-terrorism units, were moved to traffic duties, according to the reports. Ankara police, chief focus of the action, declined to comment.

Despite the dismissals, among them senior commanders, police and prosecutors continued arrests, which on Tuesday targeted the state railway company and a western port.
Erdogan, facing the biggest challenge of an 11-year rule that has seen the army banished from politics, the economy booming and Ankara pressing its role in the Middle East, portrays the raids and arrests as a “dirty plot” by a cleric. The cleric backs no political party but exercises broad, if covert, influence in police and judiciary.
Details of accusations have not been made public, but are believed to relate to corruption in construction and real estate projects and Turkey’s gold trade with Iran, according to Turkish newspaper reports citing prosecutors’ documents. Prominent business people, the sons of three cabinet ministers and state officials are among those detained for questioning.
The government has hit back by sacking or reassigning hundreds of police across the country since the crisis broke with a day of raids and arrests on Dec. 17.
A second investigation into large infrastructure projects championed by Erdogan, including a rail tunnel beneath the Bosphorus strait linking the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, has been blocked by government.
Around 350 officers in Ankara, including members of the financial and organized crime, smuggling and anti-terrorism units, were dismissed or reassigned overnight to new roles including traffic or district duties, the media reports said.
According to the Hurriyet daily, some 1,700 police have been dismissed or reassigned in Istanbul and Ankara alone since the corruption investigations became public.
Some would have been directly linked to the inquiries, while others may have been removed because of links to the Hizmet (Service) movement of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen Erdogan now describes as an intolerable “state within a state.”
Prosecutors meanwhile deepened their investigations, with at least 25 more people including public officials detained as part of an investigation into the activities of a port in the Aegean province of Izmir, broadcaster CNN Turk said.
Eight officials from the state railway company TCDD were among those detained in the raids, the company said in a statement, denying reports its headquarters had been searched.

ARIZONA Justice ( Steven Seagal and Joe Arpaio Want to Make Arizona No. 1 for Vigilante Justice ) Wild West

Even Steven Seagal thought the idea of him running for governor of Arizona was "kind of a joke." At first. But now, the actor wants the world to know that he's inching towards taking the idea seriously, prompted by encouragement from his pal, the infamous Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Seagal, you see, is part of Arpaio's celebrity "posse" of tough guys who support the sheriff's tough (and probably unconstitutional!) ideas for targeting undocumented immigrants in the state. Since Arpaio is pretty busy running Maricopa County, Seagal could be just the thing the sheriff needs to take his policies state-wide. 

Maybe. Seagal's comment that he would "remotely consider" a run for governor come as the aging ponytail makes the rounds to promote his new reality show: Steven Seagal - Lawman: Maricopa County (The Lost Episodes). This combination of political teasing and reality show promotion (we'll call it "Trumping") could very well amount to nothing. But the reality series itself already documents the sort of encouragement Arpaio's thrown Seagal's way. With cameras following along, the actor "trained" the sheriff's deputies in martial arts and marksmanship, and tagged along to a number of the sheriff's media-friendly raids. Now the pair are friends, and Seagal has moved his base of operations to Arizona in order to help fight against "open borders." When discussing Arizona law enforcement, Seagal now speaks in the first person plural. Here's what he told ABC15 last week: 

UTAH ( 27 Bald Eagles die from " West Nile virus " wildlife officials stated )

Since early December, more than two dozen bald eagles have turned up dead along the banks of the Great Salt Lake, and now wildlife officials in Utah have identified the killer: a rare wintertime outbreak of West Nile virus.
The 27 dead eagles contracted the virus after preying on infected waterfowl called eared grebes, which stop at the lake during their annual migration from Canada to Mexico. An additional five bald eagles are responding to treatment for leg paralysis and body tremors at local rehabilitation centers, officials said.
West Nile virus typically afflicts birds during warmer months, when the mosquitoes that carry it are active. But Utah had a very warm fall that extended the insects’ breeding season into late October.

 

 

The birds do not pose a risk to humans, but officials cautioned that people should not handle sick or dead eagles.
“People become infected with West Nile virus after being bitten by a mosquito that carries the virus,” JoDee Baker, epidemiologist with the Utah Department of Health, told "NBC News." “Since the mosquitoes that transmit West Nile virus aren’t active in the winter, there’s no risk to the public’s health." According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 2,318 confirmed cases of West Nile virus in the U.S. in 2013, with 105 deaths.
After soaring back from near extinction in the 1960s, bald eagles were removed from the federal endangered species list in 2007, though they are still protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates more than 9,500 nesting pairs of bald eagles live in the contiguous U.S.
Habitat destruction and the contamination of the birds' food source, largely as a consequence of the insecticide DDT, decimated the population half a century ago. Officials estimate that only 475 breeding pairs existed in 1963, down from 100,000 in 1782 when America’s Founding Fathers designated the bird as the national symbol.
Officials are not worried that the virus will have long-term effects on the 750 to 1,200 bald eagles that migrate to Utah each winter to feed.
“Even though it’s difficult to watch eagles die, the deaths that have and still might occur won’t affect the overall health of the bald eagle population that winters in Utah or the overall population in the United States,” said Leslie McFarlane, a Utah wildlife disease coordinator.

Afghanistan ( 8 year old girl " Forced to be suicide bomber " by her brother ) Failed attempt

KABUL: An eight-year-old Afghan girl has been caught wearing a suicide vest in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.
She was held on Sunday night as she tried to carry out an attack on border police, an Interior Ministry spokesman told the BBC.


The girl, thought to be the sister of a prominent Taleban commander, is said to be in a state of shock and confusion.
Police claimed she was encouraged to carry out the attack by her brother.
According to the ministry’s spokesman Sediq Sediqi, one of the Afghan soldiers, spotted the girl wearing a suicide jacket.
