Pakistan: Christian arrested after Muslim mob sets his house on fire

Sep 23, 2015 9:23 am By Robert Spencer

Corrupt officials can be found all over the world, in all sorts of contexts — officials who use their position of power to cover up the truth and bully and intimidate people — but in this case, as in so many others in Pakistan and other Muslim countries, Muslim police share the same loyalties and world view as the Muslim perpetrators, and so the perpetrators go free and the non-Muslim victim is blamed.

“Pakistani Christian arrested after his home was set ablaze,” by Harry Farley, Christian Today, September 22, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

A Pakistani Christian has been arrested after having his home torched by a violent mob, an advocacy group has reported.

Boota Masih recently bought the home he had been renting from a local Muslim man in Islamabad, Pakistan. The sale was made on the basis of an oral agreement in the presence of witnesses but Ghulam Ali, the previous owner, has since denied the sale took place, the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) said.

A violent mob then torched the Christian family’s home in an attempt to burn them alive, saying they were trespassing after the property dispute. The group demanded Masih’s family give up their home and belongings.

“I was terror stricken, the mob was threatening to kill me and my family,” Masih told the BPCA.

“They had weapons in their hands and started to brandish them before me. I thought they would kill all of us. I refused to leave my home – I had paid for it fairly and they had no right to ask me to leave.”

The group became violent and brutally beat him with iron rods and sticks, a report from BPCA said. They then locked the family in a room and set the room on fire.

With the help of other Christians, Masih put the fire out and his family were rescued, unhurt.

“I broke the door down using all my strength, desperate to live and to save my family” he said. “Soon other local Christians came to rescue us, they put out the flames and called the fire brigade.”

Despite the attack being reported, authorities have refuse to register the incident and Masih himself has since been arrested for allegedly attacking a woman who came to collect rent, even though he had already bought the house legitimately.

The chairman of BPCA, Wilson Chowdhry, spoke to Christian Today and denied the allegations against Masih were true. However, it is likely Masih will be convicted because the testimony of a Muslim witness is taken above that of a Christian, Chowdhry said….

    Pakistan is a hellhole country that no one should visit as a tourist. It is full of religious fanatics.Where is Jesus, who is supposed to save the Christians?

      Godwin,
      Pakistan is an evil empire for all practical purposes. On several occasions Jesus had forewarned about persecutions for following him. Unlike Islam Jesus does not promise 72 young virgins in paradise. On the contrary Jesus said categorically that there would be no physical relationship in the life hereafter!!!!

        The very worst happens when you combine Indian intelligence and energy with Islam. Hindus, Sikhs and other groups on the subcontinent are fine, not perfect like us all, but a-ok. It’s always trouble with the Moslems over there. Carving out a Moslem nation was a grave mistake.

      A Russian lady – very religious says It’s the devil cos humankind worship the devil and not Jesus …

      The Bible says that in the end times Christians will be beheaded and killed for their faith in Jesus, their hope is not in the flesh and carnal world, but in eternal life. Matthew 10:22, Daniel 11:33, Matthew 24:9 are just a few verses.

      Angemon,

      The politicians who want to appease the Muslims for block vote (say 5 or 10 percent ) cannot be mindful of the persecuted and the butchered / the underdogs. Actually the likes of Michele have no shame in siding the barbarians. What a cruel and heartless world we live in !!!!!!!!!!

    typical way for islamaniacs to to behave in Crapistan. Way past time to get the Christians out of there and into the West and send our own islamaniacs back there

      And time to end the jizya to Pakistan except to “buy” those indentured servants, the Christians in bondage, and rescue them from their sadistic persecutors. Oh, and sabotage that nuclear project as a parting gift.

    Muslim Mob
    Those words fit together so naturally like blood and guts.

    Yet Muslims insist on a right to force their way into Europe.
    Maybe, they will suddenly become grateful toward the EU in time, providing we grovel and we wait long enough for Muslims to have an epiphany toward simple human decency. Look out EU.

    The Muslims did wrong and were in the wrong. Not that Christian man. That Christian man was the victim. So he should not have been arrested. It was the Muslims who made up that violent mob that should have been arrested. This is all absurd and outrageous. This terrible miscarriage of justice the God of the Bible, very much, does detest. For the Bible in Proverbs 17:15. reads “The Lord hates two things ,punishing the innocent and letting the guilty go free.” [E. R.V.]

      Walter, you haven’t read the Koran; or you would understand. If you are Christian or Jew in a Muslim country you are beneath the “dignity” of Muslims; you have lesser rights than Muslims – because, according to Muhammud, God said so.

    I wonder how many Pakistani Christians there are living in the UK.
    It’s people like these in this article that genuinely require refuge.
    Instead of helping them, we mass import so many of their evil and
    brain dead persecutors (who should just be left to one another) and
    we wonder why we’re in the terrible mess we’re in!

    It says rat there in the Holy Ko-Ran that when an Infidel accuses Moslems of felony arson, he must produce in court four Moslem witnesses who have not been convicted of arson. That’s the law, the Shariah law.

      Anyone handling the Qur’an should wear two sets of gloves and apply generous amounts of hand sanitizer afterward.

    Jim Walker, an American missionary has visited Pakistan several times and his experience with them was very bad. The society there is so bad that they would do anything to take your property,wife etc.Culturally they are programmed to do evil and the preach to the West that they are GOD FEARING PEOPLE.

    Islam is a big lie.

    Pakistan does not seem to have any checks and balances to rein in on the fanatics of Islam.On the contrary it rears them to prey on its own Christian citizenry and the neighboring India for a piece of land called Kashmir. WATCH OUT West they are going to do the same to you in Londonistan, Belgrastan, Paristan and so on. That should be natural justice for NOT paying heed..

      You’re right. The willful ignorance and resultant delusion not only applies in woebegone regions like the subcontinent, it naturally spreads all over. Like with a nasty infection,suppurated sores bleed their stinking pus wherever it flows. Looking at the big numbers compiled by Moslems during the Moghul, very big numbers being around the corner now is a realistic possibility, even probability. And hey, back then they had to do their murders one head at a time.

    See, this is precisely WHY Muslims NEED to be segregated into ONE country in the Middle East.

    We’ll make that country Saudi Arabia, Home of the Bloodthirsty Moon Deity(TM).

    Contain Islam, problem solved.

    Pakistan: Christian arrested after Muslim mob sets his house on fire
    …………………….

    This happens *all the time* in Dar-al-Islam–Christians and other Infidels are attacked, and *they* are the ones arrested. We have seen this many times in Pakistan.
