Pakistan: Muslims beat Christian for selling ice cream

Jun 9, 2016 2:10 pm By Robert Spencer

“As a Christian, Masih is considered a part of the lowest social caste in Pakistan and is deemed ‘untouchable’ by some members of Pakistan’s Muslim majority. Those deemed untouchable in Pakistan are often ostracized by the majority community and are condemned to work sanitation jobs, cleaning and removing human waste. Since many Muslims in Pakistan believe Christians defile everything they touch, they forbid Christians to sell any sort of food to them.”

Where did the Muslims get this idea? From the Qur’an, of course:

“O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean…” — Qur’an 9:28

Christians are often considered polytheists by Muslims because of the idea of the Trinity, which is misunderstood but decisively rejected in the Qur’an: “And when Allah will say, ‘O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, “Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?”‘ He will say, ‘Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.'” — Qur’an 5:116

Ice cream seller Pakistan

“‘Untouchable’ Christian Beaten for Selling Ice-Cream in Pakistan,” International Christian Concern, June 9, 2016 (thanks to Robert):

6/9/2016 Washington, D.C. (International Christian Concern) – In Pakistan, many Christians have faced the dehumanizing experience of being treated as untouchables by the country’s Muslim majority population. This treatment has consigned many Christians to lowly labor and sanitation jobs. As a result, most Pakistani Christians are poor, undereducated, and ostracized by the communities that they live in.

One of these Christians who is treated as an untouchable is Khaleel Masih, a 42-year-old Christian, in Pakistan. Masih supports his wife and six children by selling ice-cream from an ice chest on the back of his bicycle. Often, Masih has to leave his own city, Changa Manga, and travel through the surrounding villages in order to find enough customers for his business.

On May 17, Masih visited a village in the Kasur district to sell ice-cream. The visit, which started out well, soon turned disastrous.

“It was a sunny day,” Masih remembered. Two Muslim brothers, Muhammad Rizwan and Muhammad Farman, came up to Masih and began insulting him.

Masih stated, “They called me ‘Chora,’ an insulting word used for Christians. Then they began accusing me of selling unclean merchandise to Muslim children. I wanted to argue and make them understand that this wasn’t true but they didn’t listen to me. Instead, they began to beat and torture me.”

Soon, approximately twenty other men joined in the attack. They not only beat Masih, but also damaged his bicycle and scattered his ice-cream along the ground.

Other Muslim men and women yelled slogans in the street, saying: “Christians are untouchables! They are not followers of our holy prophet. They are meant for cleaning our houses and therefore should not be allowed to sell anything edible to Muslims.”

Describing the event, Masih stated, “I was attacked, beaten, and abused for selling ice-cream to Muslim children and women.”

When Masih reported the attack at the local police station, the police refused to listen to his statement. Later, after finally being allowed to file a complaint against his attackers, the Muslim religious leaders used their position to pressure Masih to withdraw his complaint. They also forced him to sign a reconciliation agreement.

Sadly, Masih’s persecution reflects the discriminatory religious and social structures that exist in Pakistan. As a Christian, Masih is considered a part of the lowest social caste in Pakistan and is deemed “untouchable” by some members of Pakistan’s Muslim majority.

Those deemed untouchable in Pakistan are often ostracized by the majority community and are condemned to work sanitation jobs, cleaning and removing human waste. Since many Muslims in Pakistan believe Christians defile everything they touch, they forbid Christians to sell any sort of food to them.

This ideology of religious discrimination is what prompted the group of Muslim men to violently beat Masih and destroy his property….

    Personally, I’d be concerned about eating food prepared by a Muslim on account of their questionable hygiene following a visit to the toilet. Muslim bakers have been known to put faeces into cakes. I’d advise non-Muslims to avoid their food.

    No wonder!
    The foundation of Islam is pride and a pillar of pride is contempt.
    Islam is a religion for and of the flesh in which there is no good.
    Just consider the paradise of Muslims – a sensual fleshy projection.

    A very sad, but quite a common story to hear from the “Land of the Pure” (i.e., Pakistan).

    However, since the Jihad Watch website owners have not yet banned me as of today for writing so many obnoxious posts, let’s ask our cumulative conscience today, who created Pakistan in the first place?

    Answer: British Christian imperialists!

    British Christian imperialists wrote the history of the Indian sub-continent and taught Indian Civil Service officers that everything that was good about Indian culture was due to foreign Muslim invaders’ contributions to that vast land-mass; because, native “Hindu” people were as dumb as wood throughout the millennia for “Hindu” people’s innate inability to build and sustain anything great.

    British Christian imperialists said, Aryans were foreigners from Western Europe who came to Indian sub-continent during pre-historic time and defeated the Dravidians and, by that narrative, Indian native “Hindu” people had nothing to be proud of.

    British Christian imperialists injected the false pride amongst defeated Indian Muslims of 19th century A.D. that Indian Muslims were the descendants of superior Arab Muslims of superior Arab culture and Indian Muslims should not live side by side with unclean “Hindu” Kuffars in an independent undivided India, rather Muslims should have their separate country of Islamic purity where a superior Islamic culture based on al’Quran and via the practice of soon’Nah should thrive for perpetuity.

    British Christian intellectuals fed the Indian Muslims of 19th century A.D. with false notion of Islam’s founder’s super-human stature and, thereafter, British-educated Indian Muslims for the first time in human history in the early 20th century A.D. propagated the absolute false notion of Islam being a religion of peace.

    Oops! Did I write the words “British Christians” so many times in my previous sentences?

    Now, my readers will probably start attacking me by saying that bloody British imperialism had nothing to do with Christianity since British imperialists actually did not live by Christian principles in their own lives by their own accounts, which is — in my opinion — somewhat similar to saying that today’s over a millennium-old Islamic Jihad has nothing to do with Islam.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 9, 2016 at 6:33 pm

      I’m not sure I’d chalk up all of Pakistan’s savagery to “British Imperialism”–you might find that Islam actually has something to do with it…

      Also, your parallel between Christianity and Islam does not hold–Christianity does not teach imperialism–would that you could say the same about Islam not teaching Jihad.

        Of course, ideology of Islam had everything to do with savagery; but, that doesn’t nullify the fact that there was absolute complicity of British Raj in the creation of Islamic State of Pakistan in the first place!

        Christian British govt. shows an age-old affinity for the ideology of Islam.

      The same untouchability is practiced in India for centuries before the arrival of British or Muslims. Even now in this 21st century, this non-sense is religiously followed in India. First take the beam from your eyes before complaining about the speck of dust in some one else eyes.

        Every ethnic group has or had bad practices; but, almost all ethnic groups ultimately abandon the practices of those undesirable customs, which holds true for almost ethnic groups around the world with the sheer exception in the cases of Muslims and the ideology of Islam.

        Jews invented the practice stoning female adulterers to death; but, Jews do not practice that today.

        Muslims do in the Islamic Republic of Iran and in other Islamic places.

        “Hindus” invented the practice of Sati (i.e., an obsolete “Hindu” funeral custom where a widow immolated herself on her husband’s pyre); but, “Hindus” do not practice that today.

        Muslims do as ISIS Muslims recently burned alive Yazidi females who refused to have sexual-intercourse with Muslim bastards!

      You claims are completely false. When it came to Indian Independence in 1947 after Ghandi had fought long and hard for it, It was Jinnah the Muslim leader who insisted in creating a homeland for India’s Muslims, as he saw that religion was the determining factor above nationality, which lead to the ridiculous division of Pakistan and Bangladesh, then called East Pakistan.
      This was resisted by the British government. However the Muslim League lead by Jinnah were threatening violence if their demands were not met. As it turned out many thousands some estimate
      up to 2 million of Muslims and other religions were slaughtered as the Muslims made their way to the Muslim states and the Hindus made their way from the new Muslim States. Many had to leave behind homes and businesses . The situation was very chaotic and complex. After a few years there was civil war as the E Pakistanis broke away from West Pakistan.

      • Face_The_Truth says

        Jun 10, 2016 at 10:34 am

        “You claims are completely false. … … … This was resisted by the British government.”

        In 1905, British Raj divided Bengal Presidency (i.e., Bengal Province, since the word “Presidency” might confuse some today’s young readers) into West Bengal and East Bengal based solely on Muslim population and East Bengal ultimately became East Pakistan in 1947 A.D. due to Muslim majority population there.

        So, how did British Raj actually resist anything or anyone there?

        It was the master geographical plan of British Raj all along like British Raj militarily defeated the Indian Sikhs so that Sikh-areas could be to delivered to Muslims in North-West Frontier of Indian sub-continent.

        Do you know what the problem is in writing about Indian sub-continent during and before the Partition?

        Even to this day, every history writer infuse his/her personal memoranda into his/her writings and, thereby, conflating truth and half-truth and outright falsehood of actual history of actual events.

    What else is there to say? The vile ideology of “Submission” is the oldest fascist, supremacist ideology in the world, boasting of 1,400 years of genocides, atrocities and sundry savagery and crimes committed in the name of its warlord/hustler founder. Muslims seem eager to have violence, hatred, intolerance and oppression remain the hallmarks of their chosen fascistic “faith.”

    Pakistan: Muslims beat Christian for selling ice cream
    ……………………

    Poor man.

    A number of things here–a Muslim mob formed to join the initial attackers. *Very* common with Muslim thugs.

    And the police refused to take his report and pressured him not to complain–later they were joined by Muslim “religious leaders”. This is because under Shari’ah no Infidel is allowed to complain of being abused by Muslims.

    That we are giving Pakistan aid is unconscionable.

    It’s too bad there are not enough Christians or other non-devil worshippers to keep this man in business without risking a sale to a moslim.

    It may seem, from all that is happening in the entire earth with moslims assaulting, persecuting and murdering Christians, that Christ and His Father do not care. But as Malachi 3:16 says, ‘God is paying attention and listening and keeping an account in His book of all those who love His Name and show it by doing His will.

    These abusers will reap what they have so freely sown to a man just trying to take care of his family in doing honest work. They are the filthy ones by their putrid habits in worship of the devil.

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 10, 2016 at 11:29 am

      That “Paying attention” by God business seems to be allowing atrocities against Christians. The “Account” keeping is coming a bit late for those who have been slaughtered by Muslims. Why would a loving and merciful god allow this to happen while standing by and writing it down? Do you not see the irony in this mythology?

      • somehistory says

        Jun 10, 2016 at 5:12 pm

        I have no real time for you, carolyne. You come to an anti-jihad site to insult people who believe in the Real God, and look for comments such as mine to attack.
        We believe. You don’t. So where is the *harm* in believing in a Real, True God Who will bring about Justice and repay with retribution IN His Appointed Time as is HIS Divine Right to do?

        In what myths do you believe? That men and women such as you will rise up and save mankind from islam and every other evil? So, carolyne, when do you plan on making your move?

        Will it be spectacular? Will those of us who believe in the True God exclaim in awe?

        Do you not see the silly foolishness in which you engage by mocking those people like me who believe in an All-Powerful Being Who has promised to do something *Spectacular* When He is Ready, as is His Right as Creator of mankind? You can do nothing. And you believe in nothing. You are without hope as you are without God.
