Young Pakistani Catholic in critical condition after assault

From CathNews, with thanks to Mary Beth:

A young Catholic man who was attacked and reportedly left for dead is in critical condition in a hospital in northeastern Pakistan.

AsiaNews reports that Shahbaz Masih, 24, was attacked on Saturday. His assailants, allegedly by young Muslim men from his village, left him in a field, thinking he was dead. Both his legs were broken, but he survived and was taken to the public hospital in Mandi Bahaud Din. Shahbaz lives in Mandi Bahaud Din district, 175 kilometers south of Islamabad.

Fr Rehmat Hakim, the local parish priest, said that 20-25 Christian families live in the predominantly Muslim village. They own houses but do not have land for cultivation, so they earn their living mainly as agricultural workers for Muslim landlords.

Shahbaz drove a tractor for a Muslim landlord who was very kind to the young man, which Fr Hakim said did not go well with some Muslims who want Christians to remain subservient and dependent.

This same group, he continued, is unhappy that Christians attend school and do well in their studies.

For those of you interested, there's now a blog with Allahisms available at:

Hey.

What happened to Allahween?

PRCS:

AllahWeen is in the list, just not posted yet, but it soon will be.

I've got a lot on my chest I'd like to blog about, all of it about our Islamic friends.

Feel free to post any comments you may wish to. I expect our IslamoFreaks will try their best to intimidate me, but me and my buddy Smith have the situation under control. (By the way, Smith is 45 and blue)

Stay tuned...News at 11.

Something's wrong with your "allahisms" link.

I hope that the relatives of Shahbaz Masih are keeping a watch at his bedside. It has not been unknown for muslims, and even the police, to come into the hospital and finish the job.

Muslim nations, guided by their satanic book the qu'ran, are the pits of the world. I pray that I live to see the end of this cult.

And I'll say a prayer for young Shahbaz tonight.
