Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: Muslim woman converts to Christianity, forced to flee after threats

Aug 25, 2015 8:01 pm By Robert Spencer

Pakistan Christian women

This woman’s family and an imam targeted her. It’s interesting: in the West, if you point out that Islamic law has a death penalty for leaving Islam, you’re called a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” And Christian leaders right up to the Pope of Rome join in this, insisting that Islam is a Religion of Peace and that the Church should be engaging in “dialogue” with Muslim leaders. Groups such as the U.S. Catholic Bishops have even moved actively to silence those who speak out about the root causes of the Muslim persecution of Christians, fearing that honest discussion of such issues will harm the “dialogue.”

Yet that “dialogue” has not saved even one Christian from being a victim of jihad violence and Sharia supremacism. It has done nothing to stop these Muslims from hounding and stalking this poor woman. It is the great con, the grand shell game, of our age, and will be looked back upon by free people of the future, if there are any, as one of the key elements of the Church’s betrayal and abandonment of the persecuted Christians of our day.

“Faisalabad: Christian family forced to flee from place to place after wife converts from Islam,” by Stephen Masih, Asia News, August 25, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Faisalabad (AsiaNews) – Khurram Naveed and his family have been on the run since he married a Muslim woman who converted to Christianity.

“Since we got married we have had to change places many times,” he explained. “Wherever we go, people ask about my beloved wife’s conversion. Sometimes, imams try to force us to convert to Islam, issuing terrible threats.”

“My wife, I and our children have had to flee from place to place. We feel threated [sic] as soon as people find out about by wife’s Muslim past. However, running from one place to another is not easy. There are so many problems.”

“Until now I have to change job six times,” he noted, “and finding new employment is not easy. But we need security for our life and we ask for help from the people of God.”

Their odyssey began when Khurram Naveed, a 33-year-old Christian man, and Sobia, 25, daughter of Muhammad Riaz, a resident of Jameel Park in Faisalabad, started to teach at ‘The Light Christian Primary School in 2009.

Since it was Christian schools, students and staff could take Bible courses. Sobia joined some Christians in one such courses and eventually was drawn to the Gospels and their teachings. She began reading the Bible and decided to embrace the Christian faith.

In order to share her impressions about Christianity and get some help to move towards it, Sobia asked for the help of another teacher, Khurram Naveed, who talked to a clergyman about the situation.

After several discussions with Sobia, and seeing that she was fully consenting in her belief, the pastor decided to baptise her when she reached the age of maturity at 21. Baptised on 9 January 2010, she took a new, Christian name, Mariam (Mary).

After conversion, she wanted to marry the young Christian man. On 20 April 2010, Khurram Naveed and Mariam eloped under Articles 32 and 54, section 9, of the Christian Marriage Act.

However, after their marriage, they could no longer live in Jameel Park. So, the couple fled to Farooqabad, a suburb of Faisalabad, where they were able to start their married life.

All went well for three years, until Mariam’s parents found their address in April 2015. The family did not go after them directly, but stirred the couple’s Muslim neighbours. They began to say that Mariam was Muslim, who had been kidnapped and converted by Khurram Naveed.

Neighbours continued to challenge the couple’s religion until some imam ordered them to convert to Islam or suffer the consequences….

    Sounds like the kind of people Europe should be taking in as refugees, as opposed to the 21st century “Barbary Pirates”…

      I wonder if the Pope ever thinks about his soul and where he thinks it will end up.
      By lying to us and not protecting his own flock he is not going to have a gold pass to heaven.
      Maybe he is not even a Christian but a an infiltrator.

    WHAT!

    The pope and……”Groups such as the U.S. Catholic Bishops have even moved actively to silence those who speak out about the root causes of the Muslim persecution of Christians, fearing that honest discussion of such issues will harm the “dialogue.” Much more Bla, bla, but definitely no….TRUST IN GOD!

    It seems that the leaders of the Rome Catholic Church don’t believe that our transcendental God whose Divinity made possible our human creation and everything on earth cannot no longer handle the mediation between good and evil!

    These guys are becoming to think like liberals…”WE KNOW BETTER falsehood!

    God of the 10 Commandments is the SAME GOD NOW as He was before the BEGINNING!

    “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Rev 1:8, NIV)

      Aug 26, 2015 at 12:07 am

      I should’ve emphasized more strongly by saying:

      “HOW SADDLY WE ARE NO LONGER TRUSTING IN GOD”

      This is why we are in this sordid, morally ignoble predicament future we are now facing!

    In America if you say Islam demands the murder of an apostate, you are called an ISLAMOPHOBE.

    In Pakistan if you say Islam demands the murder of an apostate, you are a GOOD MUSLIM.

      Not always. Conservative christians will always speak out to defend christians brothers and sisters loudly. I am supporting them.

    When our people convert to Islam nobody makes any fuss at all but dare a Muslim convert to Christianity he/she is murdered unless they can get away.
    Maybe we should start houding them and see how they like it.
    Oh wait, that would be racist and we all know that only the Muslims are allowed to be racist because they are victims of racism. How can they possibly expect us to swallow this bull? I am so mad they keep insulting our intelligence.

    “convert to Islam or suffer the consequences….”

    CONVERT, SUBMIT, OR BE KILLED

    “Convert, submit, or be killed”:
    These are the choices they give.
    When you convert you join the gang.
    But leave and they won’t let you live.

    When you submit you become second class,
    With a tax that you’re forced to pay.
    Refusal to pay or refusal to join
    Will simply condemn you to death that day.

    Muslims are a collection of fools led by bloody fools (brainless mullahs).

    In spite of their illusory way of evil thinking, being a Muslim is the best thing that can happen to the world.

    Crackpot’s

    This is a society of heartless and mindless people. This is a society of extremists and skeptical people.

    “How dare the infidels think they are the best of all people when Muslims are first and above all that has been created” – A Boasting Muslim’s Illusory Creed

    “The physical and mental tortures there they pass through render them very much mentally deranged. Does all that not put question mark on the so-called Islamic society about which the egotistical and blockheaded Muslims feel pompous? What a stupid society! What a brainless people! ….. the entire Islamic world is nothing else but a top-security prison.”

    An incredibly brave woman. Every muslim knows what happens to those who leave Islam, to do so knowing her life was at stake shows one thing, she really is a believer. May God protect her.

  12. The Countess says

    Aug 26, 2015 at 7:54 am

    What she (and those like her) need is a private and protective sponsor in what’s left of the free world. Yapping about unreasonable beliefs or Bible quotations is useless and so is waiting for government action.

    “…However, running from one place to another is not easy. There are so many problems…”

    These are the types of people we should give priority to as refugees. They are committed to getting along with their lives and aren’t committed to a theology of violence. However, perhaps its too late to assume that they would be free from prying into their religious past and the consequences that may come from this scrutiny – today there are so many devout Muslim immigrants in non Muslim countries, who abhor Apostasy from Islam, that their safety probably can no longer be secured.

  14. Kaffir007 says

    Aug 26, 2015 at 12:10 pm

    The word “Islamophobia” fist appeared in 1997.
    In Arabic “الخوف من الإسلام” -“fear of Islam”

    Notice it has NOTHING to do with an “irrational fear” as is indicative of a “phobia”

    “Irrational fear of Islam” in Arabic would be ” خوف غير عقلاني من الإسلام ”

    Then we read Quran 3:151 “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, …”

    So Muslims plan to make us, the kuffar, have “terror” in our hearts, and they are concerned that we may be racist ( AS IF Islam is a race ) or that their civil rights are being violate when WE are “fearful” of them – Muslims are hypocrites. They should be rejoicing that the kuffar are fearful, they should be singing praises to Allah and dancing on the streets.

    BBC World News commentator said,
    I will paraphrase from memory
    “Syrian refuges are entitled to a home in the EU (as if this is a given) but the not the economic refugees.

    Anyone foolish enough to be turned away for admitting economic motives will quickly modify their story to the script that the Muslim pipeline operators has pre-printed in advance at the EU mosques,

    We need a Pope who communicates that the Crusades never ended for Muslims and is willing to publicly call upon the faithful to begin another campaign. Shameful how the church has turned its back on its own; they must be getting their money somewhere else. Someone needs to stir up street level opposition to Islamization. Western Europe will hit critical mass soon and hopefully North America will wake up then.
