Pakistan: Christian home ransacked, family warned of "dire consequences if they refused to embrace Islam"

Islamic Tolerance Alert. "Christian Family Under Islamic Gunfire," by Jawad Mazhar for BosNewsLife, August 2:

SARGODHA, PAKISTAN (BosNewsLife)-- Tensions remained high Saturday, August 2, in a village on the outskirts of the Pakistani city of Sargodha, where gun wielding Muslim militant ransacked a Christian family's home, family members and police told BosNewsLife.
Khalid Mehmood, a resident of the village of 79 Northern Branch, who has made clear he considers Christians "infidels" and "spies of the United States" was seen firing bullets at shanty house of an already impoverished Christian man Gullfaam Masih July 2.
He "shamelessly brandished his gun in the air and in insobriety kept shooting and ransacked the house of Masih," witnesses said. The militant ripped of Masih's wife clothing [and] warned Masih’s children "of dire consequences if they refused to embrace Islam," according to family members and a police report seen by BosNewsLife.
A police report, submitted by the frail Masih to local police, says the attack took place late July 2 at 5:15 PM local time while Gullfaam Masih was at his work place and his wife and children were home. [...]
Masih’s spouse said her husband was not at home when "this terrorizing showdown" occurred. "I was totally confused and didn’t know why this crazy Muslim man was shooting straight bullets," at the house. Bullets apparently hit walls, bed sheets, cupboards, doors, and windows. She said that she saved herself and the children’s lives "by hiding behind a steel box."

No compulsion in religion, just "shattering consequences":

The militant returned several hours later, this time shooting bullets in the air while shouting "abusive language." He left after two hours, warning them of "shattering consequences" if they would not "recant Christianity" and embrace Islam, the family said.
The latest incident came amid reports of escalating attacks against Christians following the first anniversary of a government backed military operation against Islamic militants hiding in the Red Mosque which killed at least 11 people.
Ferhan Mazher chairman of an independent rights and advocacy group ‘Rays Of Development Organization, (ROD)’ described the the recent attack on the house of Gullfaam Masih as "a sign of more imminent havoc within the Christian community of Pakistan."
ROD plans to conduct street theaters to create "interfaith peace and harmony in the most restive, conservative and rural areas," he said.

Is it possible that this guy is a Muslim evangelist? "Shoot up the unbeliever's home and then tell them to convert or else." That's probably one of the Medina suras.

What - a good Mohammadean makes threats to spread the bad news of Islam - all in an evil days work.

These sons-of-bitches! I hope they get what they deserve!

If the Muslims had killed the Christian, they would convert him after death...Such is the way in Islam...

Street theater to create peace and harmony...Muslims have street theater daily, usually in the form of riot, murder or other abuse such as the Masih attack. A mob, or a one man gang, as in this incident, is street theater that only muslims could love. Bad actors acting badly. I doubt that good actors acting goodly, will be welcome in 'restive' areas...

i wounder what the leaders of rod have been smoking
they would do better to arm the Christian's and help them form a military a few 50 caliber m2's might make those muslims run

your tax dollers at work in pakistan.


Imagine if we hadn't sent to those billions to these people. I am sure there wouln't be a single christain, hindu, buddhist,shia, ahamadya, bhai, and any non punjabi sunni wahabhi left alive in pakistan.

Not long before you read the same head title but with this little twist...

"Great Britain: Christian home ransacked, family warned of "dire consequences if they refused to embrace Islam"

We really need to bann everything that has to to with islam. No mosques, no welfare, no more immigration of muslims of any kind and finally we should bann islam in itself and start sending people back to were they really belong.

We can stop this but the solution is not a democratic one. When saving our democracy, we need to be less democratic. A kind of "executive decision" needs to be put into action.
