This is Pakistani Islamist politics, but the signs are in English to play to Western journalists; this kind of theatrical outrage is the norm in that part of the world due to the Islamic emphasis on exterior piety. Like a stereotypical eastern potentate, the Islamic Allah does not care about man's interior disposition but only his external submission. Strictly speaking, one can be a good Moslem and hate Allah as long as one carries out his dictates and kowtows properly.
The sign's mention of "Asyia" refers to Asia Bibi, the evangelical Christian currently sentenced to death for alleged blasphemy against Mohammed.
