Pakistan: Muslims torture Christian to force him to convert to Islam and threaten to kidnap his children

Feb 15, 2014 7:20 pm By Robert Spencer

“There is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2:256) but in practice, all too often Islamic supremacists find room in that phrase for all manner of coercion. What constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. After all, the institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Centanni and Wiig, the journalists who were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam — even though their conversions were obviously coerced, their captors made them say that they were converting freely, and the captors probably believed that themselves. After all, the journos could have chosen to be killed instead.

    Quran 2:256: “there is no compulsion in religion” was mentioned about this event, the books quotes the Sunan Abu Dawud hadith:

    “When the children of a woman (in pre-Islamic days) did not survive, she took a vow on herself that if her child survives, she would convert it a Jew. When Banu an-Nadir were expelled (from Arabia), there were some children of the Ansar (Helpers) among them. They said: We shall not leave our children. So Allah the Exalted revealed; “Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error.” Sunan Abu Dawood, 14:2676

    “The Biography of the Apostle”, part 4, Ibn Hisham says (page 134):

    “Muhammad sent Khalid Ibn al-Walid to the tribe of the children of Haritha and told him: ‘Call them to accept Islam before you fight with them. If they respond, accept that from them, but if they refuse, fight them.’ Khalid told them: ‘Accept Islam and spare your life.’ They entered Islam by force. He brought them to Muhammad. Muhammad said to them: ‘Had you not accepted Islam I would have cast your heads under your feet”’

    Abu Bakr El Sadiq

    In Al Road Al Anf (part 4, p. 240), Ibn Hisham indicates that Abu Bakr (the daily companion of Muhammad and among the first who believed in him) used to converse with Ibn Abu Rafi al-Ta’i and to say to him:

    “God—to whom belong the might and exaltation—has sent Muhammad with this religion for which he fought until people entered this religion by hook or by crook.”

    This phrase, I believe, is self-explanatory—”by crook” !

    “Muslims torture Christian to force him to convert to Islam and threaten to kidnap his children”

    To all my fellow freedom fighters here on JW, what would you do if you were in this man’s situation? Ordinary human beings are just that, ordinary human beings. Some are brave enough to refuse Islam and die for their beliefs, we call them saints and martyrs. They are the exception.
    The rest will most probably chose to live and embrace Islam. They’ll become Muslims. Are they true Muslims? of course not, they are VICTIMS of Islam. They need help, our help.
    The vast majority of Muslims are Muslims because they, or they grandfathers, chose life instead of martyrdom. Seriously, can we blame them?
    The only effective way to totally defeat Islam is to help liberate Muslims from the slavery of Islam.

      If you tell a Muslim that his forebears were probably coerced into Islam, he will just about go berserk, because of course (!) they chose Islam freely. Or on the other hand he might be grateful that they were so coerced as they learned the “truth” in the process and left “ignorance” behind (well, he will still go berserk from your rude suggestion).

      For Muslims to be liberated from the slavery of Islam is very difficult as they love being slaves of Allah. They especially love it here in the West, playing their little victim games and enjoying the attention and the jizya. Western society probably brings out the worst in Muslims.

        Yes, PJG, Pakistanis are the descendants of enslaved Hindu women RAPED by Arab and Persian invaders.

      There are a number of organizations that support persecuted Christians. We should support them financially.
