Zafar Bhatti was sentenced to death in Pakistan in 2022, a decade after he was charged with blasphemy. So his suffering was longstanding, and he finally died upon his acquittal. His health failed after the filthy and abusive conditions which his Muslim jailers forced him to endure.
Also, it is commonplace for Muslim villagers to lie about Christians committing blasphemy, and since Christians have no rights in practice, the liar’s word is taken as truth.
It is outrageous that any Westerners could fall for the “Islamophobia” subterfuge and allow what are essentially Islamic blasphemy laws to enter their free countries.
“Pakistani Pastor Dies Days After Acquittal in Blasphemy Case,” International Christian Concern, October 15, 2025:
After spending 13 years behind bars for a crime he had always denied, Pastor Zafar Bhatti finally walked free, only to die three days later. His death has cast a harsh light on Pakistan’s blasphemy laws and the grim conditions of its prisons.
Bhatti, 62, the founder of Jesus World Mission Church in Rawalpindi, died of cardiac arrest on Oct. 5 at his home in Punjab province. He had been released on Oct. 2 after the Lahore High Court’s Rawalpindi bench overturned his blasphemy conviction.
The pastor, who had no children, leaves behind his wife, who became bedridden during his long imprisonment.
Bhatti was arrested in July 2012 after a Muslim cleric accused him of sending text messages allegedly defaming the mother of Prophet Muhammad — charges he repeatedly denied. Reports from that time suggested he was tortured in custody to extract a confession.
In 2017, a court sentenced Bhatti to life imprisonment. His appeal was rejected in 2021, and the following year, the punishment was increased to the death penalty before his eventual acquittal earlier this month.
During his incarceration, Bhatti’s health deteriorated severely. Once in good health, he later developed diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and vision problems, suffering multiple heart attacks between 2019 and 2020. His lawyer stated that inadequate medical care in prison worsened his condition, noting that specialized treatment was not available to inmates.…

He is heading for heaven, however unjust his life and death. We all know where all Muslims are heading.

Pretty much like the case of Otto Warmbier
I’m sure President Trump is proud of his great relations w/ Pakistan

Another Christian martyr. There’s a lot of them these days first and foremost because the decline of the West has been an ongoing affair for over half a century now.
Westman says
How true.
Read an article that I found interesting suggesting the wokeness that makes the West weak might be a function of feminization. It makes the fellow-traveling of woke and Islam even stranger since Islam is definitely masculinization on steroids.

Merkel still won’t admit she led the way for the Islamization of Europe where most governments seem to behave as if it was a computer game that will have an eventual reset.
There won’t be a reset unless the citizens rebel. Imagine future Pastors being arrested, Christian churches burning, and Sharia Law.
Wellington says
Thanks for that link, Westman, and which article is spot on and proving that if females are given the opportunity to be at least as dumb and controlling as men they will avail themselves of that opportunity.
It’s gotten to the point here in America where I don’t see how any alpha male can any longer register as a Democrat, so feminized in the worst ways has the Democratic Party become. Leftism is rooted in the rot of modern feminism and one knows this by now or should know it and Leftism is now in complete control of the Democratic Party.
You know, I like real women who like real men. They won’t take any crap from men, nor should they, but they will not be like modern feminists who want a a bevy of beta males or that other bane of females, i.e., mousy women who are pathetically subservient to men as so many women in the Islamic world and the Asian world still are.
Yes, strong men being men and strong women being women is absolutely the best way to go. The fact that this completely common sense approach is in jeopardy nowadays in the West, including in America, is indicative of just how foolish an age we now live in.
As for Merkel, this horrible woman, this exceedingly foolish woman, did so much damage to not only Germany but to virtually all of Europe. Reminds me again of that dark joke, to wit, what is the difference between Hitler and Merkel? Answer: Hitler loved Germany.

why don’t you convert to the woman blaming religion
Westman says
Did you read the article to get context? If you want to lose your freedom to Islam then defense by feminized men and a 1.4(native Europe) fertility rate is sufficient.
Mo says
Oh, his poor wife!
Westman says
So Pakistani officials knew Pastor Zafar Bhatti was dying, which is what they wanted from the beginning, and hastened an aquittal so he would die outside of prison and avoid the accusation that they had killed him with their intentional treatment. Yet, they did kill him.
Under Islam, Pakistan is an example of what happens when a culture of aggression is contained – it wars with itself and typically blames those outside of the majority culture as the reason their “deity” is not blessing them.
Islam is the only culture in which “blessings” involve conquest-for-booty-and-women from other cultures, something other religions and the non-religious would see, without question, as an expression of evil.

Exactly right.
Wellington says
Israel, easily on of the greatest nations on Earth, is regularly told it is illegitimate, should not exist, and yet Pakistan, which in so many ways is a deficient nation, is never accused of having no excuse to exist.
Dumb world. Hypocritical world. No end in sight to this rubbish.

Contrast the treatment of this innocent man with the treatment of the murderous muzzie ghoul in Colorado. about which Mr. Greenfield wrote.
Tim gallagher says
What a courageous person you would have to be to be a Christian pastor in Muslim sewer like, a place full of the worst of people Muslims. I’m sure he has gone straight to heaven. It annoys me that we treat Muslims well. They don’t deserve it. They treat non Muslims like crap. That is how Muslims should treated.
