They stole it fair and square, and now they intend to sell it. Islamic Tolerance Alert: "ASIA/PAKISTAN - Christians protest chapel violently taken over by Muslims," from Agenzia Fides, October 22 (thanks to Twostellas):
Rawalpindi (Agenzia Fides) - A nonviolent protest and an outdoor Mass: this is how Christians in Pakistan intend to raise awareness in the national government and public opinion regarding the case of an illegal occupation of the Christian Chapel at Gordon College in Rawalpindi, located near the Presbyterian University in the same city. On October 19, the Chapel was illegally occupied by force by a group of over 20 people who broke into the building and shut themselves inside: they are Muslim faithful who, with the support of some local politicians, are claiming ownership of the building, based on records that Christians consider artifacts. The group has occupied the chapel and, according to information sent to Fides, they intend to seize and sell the building to obtain several million rupees.The Christian faithful of Rawalpindi, along with civil society associations and NGOs, tomorrow, October 23, will hold a march through the streets demanding justice. The march will also be attended by moderate Muslim organizations, who share the ideals of defending civil rights and religious freedom of Christians.
In addition, in a sign of support and solidarity, on Sunday, October 24, the Christian communities of all denominations will gather in the square in front of the building to celebrate the Sunday liturgy outdoors, asking God for "justice, peace, and freedom for Christians in Pakistan."
The Presbyterian Church has tried to report the case to the police, but has not officially reported anything. In addition, the police did not act in any way to stop the occupants or evacuate the building. Christian lawyers have since brought the case to court, questioning the silence of the police and demanding justice for a violation of the rights of some citizens. An initial hearing on the case is scheduled for October 26.
The pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Iqbal Bhatti, has told the press: "The local parliamentarians of the Muslim League Nawaz Group of the District Administration do not want a church here. They intend to demolish it," while alarmed local Christians say that "in Punjab, since the Muslim League Nawaz has been in power, violence and persecution against Christians has increased significantly."...
This bugs me to no end-when will we fight back and defend our fellow non-muslims being persecuted by muslims all over the world? When will it be ok to say we're now at war with Islam and we aim to eliminate it, because Islam is at war with us?
Muslims are killing and conquering non-muslims with impunity, meanwhile we in the West censor ourselves from even discussing this terrible global crisis. What is it going to take for the majority in the West to wake up?
One of the very frightening things in canada is that our own Politicians and local Government bodies fear standing up for the Christians being slaughtered in pakistan because canada has a huge voter-Pool of those from Pakistan.
Even the CBC which is the propaganda wing for Liberals and funded by $1B a year of tax dollars will NOT mention the Pakisyani ties to all three of the 16+ terror cells caught in canada and either deported as illegals,or finally...as of today the last of the Toronto-18 being sentenced to 16 years in Prison because he was a Citizen with ties to pakistans Jihadists.
Tarek Fatah seems to be the only Muslim of pakistan background to point out the recent shame by Muslims when the floods back home displaced over 12'000'000 pakistanis and it was Western Christian nations that rushed in to help or the citizens made donations to Aid groups.
Imagine being the victim of the floods and fellow Muslims in your own Country let you starve and die because they actually believe that it is Allah's-Will for you to suffer. Just as the Tsunami killed about 200'000 people and a Toronto muslims Imam said it was Allah's will to humble Muslims.
This is a sick and twisted mind set that must be undone because the really radical devout Pro-Shariah Muslims are already mentally existing in the after-life and have no regard for the current lives of anyone, this as if earth is some giant peverted reality show for Allah to watch his children suffer or being slaughtered by suicide bombers emulating the warrior spirit of Muhammed.
Lets get real here, Mark Styen's freedom to speak in London canada was snuffed-out by the islamofascists that used the psychological-terrorism of their Threats for violence if mark did get to speak in London.
So basically, the Government owned (Public) Conference centre just assumed Muslims are predisposed to riots and murder by their quick reaction to deny Mark's appearance which would incite all those peaceful Muslim to go Jihad as they did at Concordia University to stop a israeli Official from speaking there.
How pathetic for a quasi-religion to keep spewing the same old rants of peace and Tolerance when there is a overwhelming amount of tangible evidence for the collective actions of the majority(50% + 1) of the 1.2 billion Muslims to either have a State Policy to endorse Armed-jihad, or give a tacit approval of it by the silence to condemn it in Public and in the Mosques.
It's not MY fault for the perception of Islam when it's the 1.2 Billion of the followers that display what they accept as the true Islam or excuse-away the violence as incited by others. Stop murdering civilians and making a death threat to 5'500'000'000 non-muslims,and then maybe people will start to believe that islam can be peaceful.
BTW
I rarely use the Subway system because of a terorism threat that a Politician admitted to in hindsight and justified keeping it secret to avoid panic.
Oh thanks,let the Jihadist slaughter 1000's of canadian civilians and tourists on our Subway system and THEN denounce it and claim you didn't think it was a valid threat to go public and cause undue panic.
I wonder if that upcoming Election after the Madrid slaughter had anything to do with a Liberal keeping a Toronto terrorism bomb plot a secret?,we too have the same type of Liberals that tossed Juan Williams under the bus for their self-interests.
What? Why? Oh, I see: to sell the building and obtain several million rupees. Meanwhile, braying about the artifacts, which someone else happens to own already.
Where I come from, they call that breaking and entering, and theft. Plain and simple.
Lokar - the line about 'artifacts' seems to be a problem with translation.
What it means, is that the Muslims are claiming ownership on the basis of forged documents.
This paragraph - "Muslim faithful who, with the support of some local politicians, are claiming ownership of the building, based on records that Christians consider artifacts" - should probably have read "Muslim faithful who, with the support of some local politicians, are claiming ownership of the building, based on records that Christians consider to be forgeries".
The fluoride in all public water are driving men mad. Some with degrees are stupid/ retarded/slow. The jihad type men , are mad men to say the least. But mostly stupid to think they can rule the world. But I myself am in agreement that all our troops should come home, and leave these people to their mad backwardness, but beautiful ways that fits with their sand lands. They have lovely camels, and sand drifts in shifting winds , that cover and uncover, years of history, and they right now are in their OLD war against the world, in order to rule the whole world. They intend to rule the whole world from the Vatican says book Stealth Jihad. I kind of doubt Russia or China will allow that there. Or America here. They seem to be so schiziphrenic, they are both nazis and commies, ( pinkos ) to put it in slang. They don't know what kindness to their own tribal human race is. They stone people for the least provocation it seems , behead, in a rage like an epileptic fit type thing, and when they do it, give them dilantin , deport them. Somewhere I read today the worst thing they fear, is deportation with their dual passbooks. I don't even own one. They are semetics, arabs, same as the Jewish but all different tribes, no matter what country they were born in. Born in Geramny: still not a German. A semetic with no doubt dark hair, eyes, heavy beard. Canada has troubles, but they put up with the mad. Canada will get angry one day and drive them out.
