Pakistani woman free from blasphemy death penalty, causes Islamists to protest.

Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan are a new force in Islamist politics in Pakistan and are, to say the least, bad news.* The TLP's platform is pretty simple: kill all apostates and blasphemers. They aren't interested in much else.

_{*Tautology, obviously.}

I would say approximately 1000% safer than in Pakistan.

Huh, they're Barelvi. Usually I associate hardline Islamists in Pakistan more with Deobandis (esp. after they have had their minds exposed to the ubiquitous and lovely Saudi-funded mosques, madrassas, and so on). Ugh.

It's not that odd - generally the Barelvi movement is even keener on the brutal enforcement of the blasphemy law than the other sects, even as it is more moderate in other fields.
