Whereas, of course, you have evidence of vast swathes of British Muslims baying for her blood.
It is an unfortunate turn of events. Appreciate it's not easy to run a country where primative religious attitudes are commonplace, but this must make Asia fearful of her future. One hopes international pressure for a fair pricess and quick release is applied.
