But that would be dangerous as well as incorrect, according to the chief of a Christian ministry that works with persecuted Christians, almost all in Islamic or communist countries, around the globe.
The issue over blasphemy was addressed by Carl Moeller, chief of Open Doors USA, in an interview with WND because of the pending threat to the freedoms in America.
"This is a battle for our basic freedoms," he warned.
The circumstances that are coming together at this point include the announcement in Pakistan of the death penalty by hanging for a Christian woman who was accused by her Muslim neighbors of "blaspheming" Islam.
Her case is on appeal, and on Monday there were reports that a request for a pardon had been submitted on her behalf.
In an interview with Compass Direct sources, Asia Noreen, also known as Asia Bibi, said her side of the dispute never has been heard even after multiple court hearings over two years.
"How can an innocent person be accused, have a case in court after a false [report], and then be given the death sentence, without even once taking into consideration what he or she has to say?" she asked.
