Ooberfuse, a London-based electro-pop band, featuring Wizard MC from the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA), released Turn the Tide, raising their voices in protest against the latest victim of Pakistan's black blasphemy laws.

LYRICS:
They say she burned pages from the Koran
Down's syndrome girl from Pakistan
Taken from her mother's arms
The mob yell out, sound the alarm
Roughly ripped from her family
11 yrs old, for blasphemy
She clings to her mum, crying loud
Police to appease the angry crowd
Holy imam shouts condemnation
Screams for her death ring round the police station
No matter what your colour is
No matter what your creed
No matter what your caste is
When you cut, you bleed
Free!
Turn the tide of hate to the tide of love!
Set her free!
Rimsha Masih, Asia Bibi
We cry for their freedom and dignity
Salman Taseer, Shahbaz Bhatti
Killed for defending minorities
Who'll speak up for the voiceless now
We need to protect and defend somehow
Don't stay silent, protect the defenceless
Don't stay quiet, hate is relentless
Don't stay silent, protect the defenceless
Don't stay quiet, hate is relentless
