(Reuters) - A Pakistani court sentenced to death on Saturday the killer of the governor of Pakistan's largest province, a defense lawyer said.

"He has been given the death sentence," Shuja-ur-Rehman told Reuters.

The court handed down two death sentences for murder and terrorism to Mumtaz Qadri, who has seven days to file an appeal, state television reported.

Qadri believed he was enforcing divine law by murdering a blasphemer when he killed Punjab Governor Salman Taseer on January 4.

In contrast, Iran is about to execute a Christian (Youcef Nadarkhani) in its country because he won't become a Muslim. So don't think that Muslim countries would approach the Taseer case as "justifiable homicide." As much of a psychopathic brainwashed extremist coward that Qadri is, a more civilized country wouldn't execute him.
