This is Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who spent 8 years on death row after being accused of “blasphemy” for drinking water from a Muslim’s cup.
Asia was working in the fields with her Muslim coworkers. She got thirsty and went to fetch water from the well, where she took a drink with an old metal cup she had found. This is all it took.
Christians are considered dirty and impure in Islam, and she was accused of attempting to contaminate the Muslims’ water just by drinking from their cup. She was sentenced to death by hanging.
The governor of her province voiced opposition to the verdict and was assassinated by his own bodyguard.
When she was finally acquitted in 2018 due to international pressure, tens of thousands of Muslims rioted, demanding her immediate execution.
A local poll found that 10 MILLION Pakistanis would personally kill her if given the chance. Just for drinking water from a cup.
Her lawyer had to flee the country. And after months in hiding, she was finally able to escape Pakistan and received asylum in Canada.
This is Sharia-ruled Pakistan, where non-Muslims live under the constant threat of death. The more I learn about this country, the more it just feels like ISIS with a formal government.
It was the middle of the night, at about 1.30am, when Norway lost to England.
Yet thousands of Norwegians went to the Palace in Oslo and celebrated with one final Viking row.
They did not riot. They did not burn cars. They did not smash bus stops or glass windows of shops.
They smiled. The laughed. They saw the positive in their performance. They celebrated their heritage. They were proud of who they have been in the past and who they are today.
Norway might be out of the World Cup 2026 but they are in our hearts.
In the last three weeks, I think we have all fallen a little bit in love with Norwegians.
On This Day — July 10, 1933
Time Magazine put Joseph Goebbels on its cover — and praised the Nazis.
Just months after Hitler seized power, the American magazine featured the Nazi propaganda minister and described Adolf Hitler as a “vegetarian superman.” The article lauded how Nazi rule had “lifted the spirit of the German people” and openly noted that one of the regime’s most effective tactics was “explaining away all Germany’s defeats and trials in terms of the Jew.”
Goebbels’ own line — “The Jews are to blame!” — actually appeared on the front cover.
This was mainstream American media treating the rising Nazi regime with a mix of fascination and reluctant admiration — while the machinery of antisemitic propaganda was already in full gear.
By the time the world woke up, it was too late for millions.
Some warnings were printed in plain sight.
