Blasphemy is, of course, punishable by death in Muslim countries including our 'ally' Pakistan. Apparently even if the one who accused you of blasphemy withdraws the accusation it doesn't matter because someone will take it upon themselves to kill you anyway.
For what it's worth, it's the American right that has always been kissy-kissy with Pakistan, at least as far back as Nixon and Kissinger.
During the cold war the USSR sided with India and we chose Pakistan. I don't know why and I don't know which happened first but I think it is clear that we should have supported India. Maybe it was because India broke away from England and that is why we didn't support them? I really am not sure the history of that part of the world during that time.
March 10, 1993: Dr. David Gunn of Pensacola, Florida was fatally shot during a protest. He had been the subject of wanted-style posters distributed by Operation Rescue in the summer of 1992. Michael F. Griffin was found guilty of Dr. Gunn's murder and was sentenced to life in prison.
August 21, 1993 Dr. George Patterson, was shot and killed in Mobile, Alabama, but it is uncertain whether his death was the direct result of his profession or rather a robbery.[6][7]
July 29, 1994: Dr. John Britton and James Barrett, a clinic escort, were both shot to death outside another facility in Pensacola. Rev. Paul Jennings Hill was charged with the killings. Hill received a death sentence and was executed on September 3, 2003.
December 30, 1994: Two receptionists, Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols, were killed in two clinic attacks in Brookline, Massachusetts. John Salvi, who prior to his arrest was distributing pamphlets from Human Life International,[8] was arrested and confessed to the killings. He died in prison and guards found his body under his bed with a plastic garbage bag tied around his head. Salvi had also confessed to a non-lethal attack in Norfolk, Virginia days before the Brookline killings.
January 29, 1998: Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer who worked as a security guard at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, was killed when his workplace was bombed.

October 23, 1998: Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death at his home in Amherst, New York. His was the last in a series of similar shootings against providers in Canada and northern New York state which were all likely committed by James Kopp. Kopp was convicted of Dr. Slepian's murder after finally being apprehended in France in 2001.
May 31, 2009: Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed by Scott Roeder as he served as an usher at his church in Wichita, Kansas.[9]
There's an overall point to these types of threads.....
Here look at these Muslim savages!...look at what they are doing now!
See how cruel they are?...How could anybody defend anything we decide to do to them? ....Only "terrorist sympathizer" cares about their rights!
The funny thing is. I'm not in a position to effect what goes on in Pakistan. I live here in the USA. As a citizen I can effect the wrong doing that my government does. Why don't I take care of what I can effect instead of meddling around in the affairs of other countries?
Rightwingers just can't comprehend this simple truth.

Not just right wingers. This is a bipartisan habit. Nation building and butting into other countries affairs.
