Pakistan: Muslims expel all Christians from village

Nov 27, 2014 5:37 pm By Robert Spencer

pakistan-christians“In a Pakistani village in the Punjab province, Christian families are being forced to leave because a Christian married a Muslim woman. The Muslims in this village became enraged when this occurred and began threatening them.” Islamic law forbids Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men. Muslim men can marry non-Muslim women, but not the other way around: the intention of this inconsistency is inherently supremacist.

“Muslims Expel All Christians From a Village in Pakistan,” Aleteia, November 26, 2014:

Pakistan/Aleteia (Aleteia.org/ar) – In a Pakistani village in the Punjab province, Christian families are being forced to leave because a Christian married a Muslim woman. The Muslims in this village became enraged when this occurred and began threatening them.

This event is happening as little was two weeks after the atrocious crime wherein a Christian couple was burned in a brick kiln by a Muslim mob. The couple had been working there when they were accused of blasphemy; a crime they did not commit. The Punjab has once again become the scene for a new tragedy.

All of the Christian families in one of the villages of the Sahiwal region were forced to flee from their homes due to these threats from Muslims. They condemned one of the Christians for getting married to someone from their group. ‘Abid Masih, a friend of the couple, revealed to Press Trust of India news agency on the 13th of November that, “They were married in October and once the Muslims in the village learned of the marriage they demanded that the young woman be returned or we would bear the consequences.”

Prohibited by Islamic Law
The names of the newly married couple are Shahab Masih and Ruksana Kosar, who is in her twenties. They no longer live in the village where the young woman was raised. They now live in the Khanewal region, which is where the young Christian man lived. The future couple met in the village of Sahiwal, where Shahab frequently traveled to visit his family.
When the news of the marriage was learned, the Muslims in Sahiwal attacked Shahab’s family as well as other Christian families in the village. The Muslims demanded that Ruksana be returned immediately, according to Sharia which prohibits Muslim women from marrying a man from another religion.

In this regard ‘Abid clarified saying, “We told them that Shahab is now living in Khanewal with his wife and that it would be better for them to go and discuss the matter with him there. However, they would not listen. Then, the Muslim woman’s father Jamil Hussein proceeded to file a complaint with the Shahkot police, accusing Shahab and two of his family members with kidnapping. Meanwhile, the entire Muslim community was threatening to kill Shahab’s father and all of the village’s Christians.

The Police provided no assistance
The Christians’ pleas for help from the local police were all in vain. In light of this fact, the nine Christian families living in Sahiwal (approximately 25 people) were forced to flee during the night leaving their homes and jobs. The Investigator, Muhammad Riyad from the Shahkot police defended himself by saying, “We have not arrested anyone yet due to the sensitive nature of this case. We will not take any further steps before undergoing a thorough investigation.”…

    “Muslim men can marry non-Muslim women…”

    True, but some Shia scholars disagree.
    Mr Ali Ghorawi, one of the best scholars at the Hawza (Shia muslim institute) said: “The private parts of the Prophet (peace be upon him) must go to hell because he had sexual intercourse with some polytheist women.”

    “The Police provided no assistance.”
    There may as well be a template for that.

    Supremacist and misogynistic, since women are always to be unequal in every relationship with men. Only a mother is superior to a male child, but that is because she is enforcing the will of another male who controls her.

    Women in Islam are slaves for time and eternity…yes, they are enslaved to males in Islamic paradise.

    Christians and Muslims condemn extremism and violence committed in the name of religion

    Vatican City, 27 November 2014 (VIS) – The Centre for Interreligious Dialogue of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organisation and the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue held their Ninth Colloquium of dialogue from 24 to 26 November in Teheran, Iran, under the joint chairmanship of Abuzar Ibrahimi Turkaman, president of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organisation, and Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. At the end of the meeting, the participants agreed on the following:

    1. Two decades of dialogue between the abovementioned institutions have provided the occasion for better knowledge and mutual understanding;

    2. The participants emphasised that Christian-Muslim constructive dialogue plays a crucial role in making a better society;

    3. Spirituality is a both a divine gift and the fruit of a human journey leading to truth;

    4. A genuine spirituality enables us to recognise God’s presence and action within ourselves and in the world;

    5. The media are called to play their distinctive role in the promotion of positive relations between Christians and Muslims;

    6. The participants condemned all kinds of extremism and violence, especially committed in the name of religion.

    The participants decided to hold the next colloquium in Rome in 2016, which will be preceded by a preparatory meeting 2015.

      This is so unfair, so unfair, I am going to phone The Guardian, if they will publish this, or will try to hide it, will phone daily mail, telegraph, all of them. This got to stop, it has to stop.

      Why is it the media’s role to promote inter-religious dialogue? How about reporting on what is actually occurring?

    Evil, Evil, Evil. That’s all I can say about islam. Sick, uneducated, unsophisticated, lazy simpletons.
    I snicker at their backwards ways, and rage over their senseless cruelty. They WILL burn in hell.

  9. Pakistan is not a "muslim country" says

    Nov 28, 2014 at 4:29 am

    Isn’t it nuts that Pakistan people think that Islam is “their” religion…not realising that it is only “their” religion as a result of their ancestors being forced to convert due to wave after wave of warfaring muslims. Islam – would it have been in Egypt, Syria, Libya and other once Christian countries if it wasn’t for the power of the sword? The obvious answer is no. Those countries should be “Christian countries”. The only way to defeat the evil that is Islam is with force otherwise we will become the next backward country such as Pakistan and doing nothing but worshipping evil.

      “Those countries should be “Christian countries”. The only way to defeat the evil that is Islam is with force otherwise we will become the next backward country such as Pakistan and doing nothing but worshipping evil.”

      I am really thrilled at this observation of yours! Even though, I knew, for a long time, that that would be the west’s case in the very near future, I never thought of writing it down in that sequence.

      It is simple, yet absolutely true, precise, profound and prophetic!

    Items 1-6 are examples of religious supremacist bigotry. When you have two opposing supremacists, one must eventually give way to the other, because there is only room for one at the top…Give this outreach enough time and you won’t have to guess who’s on top…Allah does not play second fiddle…

      NO and nether does GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE.WATCH AND SEE.

    The Christians violated the dhimmi pact that gives them protection. If one member of a protected community violates the pact then the Muslims can punish any christians under their control. This is why if the Christians in Europe do something that offends Muslim sensibilities, they can take revenge on the Christians available to them.

    May the example of pbuh guild you to the truth.
