Noman was a simple sanitary worker and had no enmity with anyone. His refusal to clean the Muslim’s dera [outhouse] apparently led to his killing.
The plight of Pakistani Christians was discussed last summer at the European Union headquarters in Brussels, amid rising escalations of violence against Christians in Pakistan, but no action ensured.
Rev. Dr. Russell Barr, Moderator of the Church of Scotland, has stated “that the perpetrators of Christian persecution are being cushioned by the police” in Pakistan.
Violence against Christians by Muslims who justify it by reference to Islamic texts and teachings is greeted globally with complacency and silence.
“Pakistani Christian killed in the street had refused to work on a Sunday”, by Joseph Hartropp, Christian Today, March 30, 2017:
A young Christian in Pakistan was shot and killed in the street allegedly for refusing the demands of an influential Muslim that he work on a Sunday, his day off.
Noman Munir Masih, 20 lived in Sheikhupura in Punjab Province, working in a local sanitation department. He was on his way to work with his brother-in-law and uncle on March 20 when he was attacked and killed, according to Morning Star News.
‘They were about to leave after dropping off Noman when suddenly two motorcyclists arrived there,’ Norman’s mother Khalida Bibi said.
‘One of them whipped out a pistol and opened fire on Noman, killing him instantly.’ Bibi said her family was in shock at their loss.
Norman was the primary provider for his Pentecostal Christian family after his father died two years ago. Through his work he supported his mother, three brothers and two sisters. A local Muslim man named Daanu Chaddar has been arrested in connection with the case.
AdvertisementAn attorney for the family, Kashif Naimet, said Chaddar threatened Masih after he refused to sweep his outhouse on Sunday, Masih’s day off.
Naimet said: ‘Ostensibly angered by the Christian’s refusal to submit to his demand, Chaddar allegedly told Noman to be ready to face “dire consequences”, as he will not take no for an answer from a petty sanitary worker. Chaddar reportedly threatened Noman that he would “Cut off his legs and riddle his body with bullets” for defying his order.’
Naimet added: ‘Noman was a simple sanitary worker and had no enmity with anyone. His refusal to clean the Muslim’s dera [outhouse] apparently led to his killing.’
Rights advocates say many Muslims in Pakistan mistreat Christians as they are a minority community with minimal power or status. Many in the sanitation profession, a relatively lowly position mostly comprising Christians, find themselves especially degraded.
Riaz Masih Bhatti, president of the Sheikhupura Tehsil Municipal Authority sanitary workers union, said: ‘There have been frequent incidents of prejudice against Christian sanitary workers, but Noman’s murder in a brazen attack in broad daylight has sent a wave of shock and panic in the entire community.’
Christian rights activist Napolean Qayyum said: ‘Many Muslims find it hard to accept refusal by a “lowly” Christian. This is not the first time a Christian sanitary worker has been killed or subjected to violence for refusing to comply with unjust demands of persons from the Muslim majority….

Christians and Hindus are murdered in Pakistan for the flimsiest of reasons, every other day. America knows it. Has that stopped America from funding Pakistan to boost its military arsenal by pumping in billions of dollars of American taxpayer money? Not a chance. Has that stopped America from turning a blind eye to Pakistan acquiring a nuclear arsenal from their partners, China? Not a chance.
Pakistan, armed to the teeth with both conventional and nuclear weapons thanks to America and China, are now heading a so-called Islamic Army, consisting of some 40 Sunni Muslim warmongering states.
Who will this army be fighting?
Naturally, the non-muslim countries, especially the democratic ones.
America, does that ring a bell?
America, will you still continue to be blissfully unaware, till the next 9/11 happens?
Debi Brand says
Indeed, a.b., well stated.
And every one of our elected officials who turns a blind eye to this and offers only to it deaf ears is a blooming fool and coward in face of Islam and the Qur’an and sunnah following.
Shame on them—gutless wonders. Shame on them.

Actually, most Americans are completely ignorant about the terrible plight of Hindus, Christians, and Sikhs in Pakistan.
Anne Smith says
Hardly surprising – most Americans do not even know where any of these places are, let alone how they are run.
Carolyne says
Sadly, Anne, you are right. At times when I have tried to explain the takeover of the US by Islam, the response is “I guess we’ll just have to get used to it.” And this by people in church every Sunday. .
Rob says
Carolyne…Every member of every Christian church should have to read the history of the Christian battle to defend Malta (and the underbelly of Western Europe) from overwhelming Islamic invaders. The defenders of Malta fought literally “to the last man” to defend their faith and their right to practice it. Christianity prospered in Western Europe (and ultimately in the Americas) only due to the defenders of Malta. And I believe that any Christian church member (including the current Pope in Rome) who reads that history and is not as willing to defend their faith is not a Christian.
Don Foss says
AND Ahmadis and Sufis!
Robert says
Christians regularly killed in Pakistan? This is a coincidence. Why would a state like Pakistan which gets its inspiration out of the qoran, the book full of peace and love, sanction the killing of Christians like the Christian governor of a state by his own body guard? There are daily killings and oppression of Christians and their institutions in Pakistan with no judicary consequences (ask Amnesty International) but this is all a coincidence. The religion of Peace and Love embraces all humans of good will… Inshallah.
Carolyne says
And we give billions of dollars to Pakistan to continue their nefarious ways. This has to stop.

Off topic. Latest news from Canadistan.
1. Our muslim PM trudeau has recommended that the House of Commons no longer sit on Fridays; isn’t this handy for our former part-time drama teacher, he’ll now be able to attend Friday prayers at his local mosque.
2. Following the passing of M103, our muslim govt is now setting up a committee to study actions that need to be taken. Fully expect “islamophobia” to be criminalized. As I’ve said previously, I don’t think there are enough jails to house all of us miscreant “islamophobic” Canadians. Where’s the money coming from to keep all those jails running?
3. There are 5 by-elections that’ll be coming up shortly. It’s going to be FUN, FUN, FUN to watch the outcome.
We saw what happened when Hitler was appeased, and we’re doing the same thing with islam. HISTORY MUST BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS. Otherwise, we’re on this treadmill of repeating it rather than learning from it!!!
Angemon says
“Following the passing of M103, our muslim govt is now setting up a committee to study actions that need to be taken. ”

See what Muslims are doing in the Indian state of West Bengal, encouraged by the Trudeaus of India. West Bengal is a state from which muslims have already carved out their own part, which is the country of Bangladesh.
But are they satisfied with that? Not a chance, as the article below reveals.

Muslims are *never* satisfied.
Troybeam says
Let’s do this set up here in America, Muslim leaves work position 5x a day, to pray/ Muslim loses job for lack of performance and interruption of work from other employees upset at the standard for Muslims and not for any other faith.
Debi Brand says
Troybeam said: “Let’s do this set up here in America”:
I provide “c” of this scenario: “Muslims sets fire to workplace fired from, or beheads co-worker thereat, or, attacks and massacres co-workers at baby shower gathering, or Christmas party, or, etc.; does so in obedience to “Allah and His Messenger,” attacking, casting terror, killing and maiming those who bar him in his “access to the Way of Allah [(His din)].” (2:217, and elsewhere.)
As provided per Qur’an:
Just basic Islam in practice, not extreme Islam, just basic Islam as “Muhammad” and His Companions lived it, preached it, practiced it.
One more clear reason why, ever clear-thinking freedom-loving American should fight for the right of the Muslim to practice the tenets of their faith here in our nation and elsewhere.

Thank you, AB, for this vid on West Bengal. It speaks to what a couple of Indian Hindu buddies of mine are saying about the situation in India. Also, let’s not forget what the Buddhists of Myanmar are going through at the moment. Have to admire the Buddhists, they are fighting back.
Anne Smith says
The BBC is making sure no-one in UK understands the true position in Burma (Myanmar). They are with the Muslims all the way.
Cicero says
The BBC several layers of staff are from the Religion of Peace. They are setting the agenda for Broadcasting accordingly. The said religion is rapidly being given more and more air time and gives the impression that Britain is no longer a majority Christian country but a country where Islam is being treated as the majority religion – at the BBC at least

These monsters will soon get what is due them and it won’t be what they expect.
2 Thessalonians 1:8 says that Christ will come in a flaming fire to punish those ones who persecute and kill.
(Matthew 25….”and those on His left, will go off into destruction.”)
Carolyne says
Why is the “Lord” waiting? Can’t he see that this shouldn’t be allowed? How did he allow it in the first place? Is it some kind of game to wait until the last minute and then swoop in? Can’t you see the nonsense in this?
somehistory says
You don’t understand spiritual things any more than a man can understand what a woman feels when she is going to give birth.
The Bible, which you don’t believe, says that God has “set a day in which He will judge the entire earth,” and in that ‘day” He will, not just give proof of His Existence, but of His determination to have the earth as He created it to be and have His earthly children as He made us to be. Who are you, a puny human, an imperfect creature, to question God and His reasons for doing what He does or allowing what He allows? Don’t you see the danger of questioning Him and calling it “nonsense”?
You come to a site where people point out the evils of islam, and where Christians are free to encourage each other…and anyone else who wishes to be encouraged…and mock, our faith in Christ.
What do you get out of that?
You don’t want answers, you don’t wish to understand our faith. You just mock and call it silly and foolish and nonsense.
The question is “What do you get out of it”? Does it increase your happiness to try to discourage people in their faith? Know this: you will not discourage true faith in God and Christ.
John A. Marre says
When you import Muslims they don’t give up their beliefs and become tolerant multi-culturalists. They bring along their barbarian beliefs and continue to practice them.
Ciudadano says
Bigot muslims in islamic countries oppress and kill non-muslims minorities all the time. Islamic countries governments oppress and kill non-muslims for “blasphemy” and apostasy all the time. But somehow when muslims in the Western countries kill non-muslims it has nothing to do with Islam.
Ciudadano says
how come this new convert to Islam and the imam don’t get that Islam is the religion of peace? Why are there so many imams, by definition well versed in Islam, planning terrorist attacks or supporting terrorists?
Why is this not happening with other religions? When was the last time a convert to Christianity and a priest planned a terrorist attack? Or a Buddhist monk?
Why do we never hear that oppressed Christians in Islamic countries resort to terrorism? But in the West we accept as an excuse for Islamic terrorism the alleged injustices suffered by Muslims at the hands of Western “intolerant”?
no_one says
Islamic monsters.

One of the most ANTI-AMERICA, PAKI MUSLIM GROUPS, THE KHAN TRIBE has Carved out a slice of FLORIDA, FOR THEIR PERSONAL USE. BUT I HAVE READ THAT THEY HAVE VIRTUALLY SPRED OUT ALL OVER AMERICA.
MOST OF THE TRIBE BECOME RICH, by selling VISA RIGHTS to OTHER Paki Muslims. THEY ARE “BIG” SUPPORTERS OF THE DEM PARTY & Have BURROWED INTO GOV POSITIONS.
CORRUPT TO THE HILT, PAKI MUSLIMS HATE CHRISTIANITY & ARE UP FRONT ABOUT THEIR WISH FOR THE FATE OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANS.
MAY GOD PROTECT US.
Carolyne says
Wasn’t that man who spoke at the Democratic convention and was waving around the Constitution named Khan? He also recently claimed that he was prevented by our government from visiting Canada. He must be one of that tribe. I have read that he also helps Pakis get visas.
Romans says
Blessed are you when men hate you,
And when they exclude you,
And revile you, and cast out your name as evil,
For the Son of Man’s sake.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!
For indeed your reward is great in heaven,
For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets. Luke 6:22-23
Carolyne says
So we are to wait until we get pie in the sky when we die? Do nothing to protect ourselves but wait for a reward after death?
I’m sorry to point this out, but is it a good idea to give the earth to Muslims in anticipation of rewards after death?

Pakistan: Muslims murder Christian in the street because he refused to work on Sunday
Naimet said: ‘Ostensibly angered by the Christian’s refusal to submit to his demand, Chaddar allegedly told Noman to be ready to face “dire consequences”, as he will not take no for an answer from a petty sanitary worker. Chaddar reportedly threatened Noman that he would “Cut off his legs and riddle his body with bullets” for defying his order.’
…………………..
This *poor man*–and his poor family.
Of course, this wasn’t because Noman was a sanitary worker–except, of course, in the sense that this is one of the few options Christians have in Pakistan.
This was because a lowly Christian dared say no to a Muslim–even in such a minor matter as this one. This kind of crazed overkill, when he could have just fired the man at most–is rife in Dar-al-Islam with Muslims dealing with women or unbelievers, whom they regard as their slaves.
Will there be any consequences for putting a savage hit out on an employee? Don’t count on it–in fact, if the family or community push for it, they might come under more violence.
frederick King says
The influential muslim’s outhouse ? I wonder if it’s painted like there trucks ?
Carolyne says
Pakis seem to often be killing Christians in the streets. Some kind of game they play with our money.
Anne Smith says
How very stupid of Western Governments to let them in.
Bob says
And how stupid of the UK to send the Pakis ‘foreign aid’!
Carolyne says
And stupid of the US. We bot need to stop it immediately. Those people hate us and laugh at us giving them money.
Rob says
Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism, Christianity and a few other non-Islamic religions still exist today (in a few remaining countries) ONLY because Islam has not yet exterminated believers of those religions in their few remaining refuges. History and the Koran validate that statement, and Islam is on the move today to correct that “problem”.
Karen says
I hope Forbes magazine is paying attention. Pakistan sounds like a really cool travel destination!!
Just remember to not be so judgemental about all the government sanctioned religious intolerance. After all, Pakistan is a, uh…..democracy.
