At a magistrate's hearing in Islamabad on Wednesday, the killer, Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, 26, charged with murder and terrorism, was showered him with rose petals and garlands by hundreds of supporters. Moderate religious leaders refused to condemn the assassination, and some hard-line religious leaders appeared to condone the attack.
I think she didn't read Quran , where it says to Kill Christians and Jews and infidels. She is just looking for a fame and showing a reverse picture of Islam. Islam is a religion of Death. You can't reverse the book that say to beat your wife.
