Pakistani authorities have been accused of failing to protect a 17-year-old Christian girl who for years has been sexually harassed and stalked by a Muslim man who threatened to throw acid on her.
How well has Pakistan been protecting its Christian population? Not at all, with its cruel blasphemy laws by which Christians are routinely harassed and set up on false blasphemy charges by Muslims.
According to human rights lawyers, “Pakistani Christian girls have been abducted, raped and forced to marry their rapists….The abducted girls are forced to convert to Islam, which makes their subsequent marriages legal under Pakistani law.”
“Muslim Stalker Threatens Pakistani Christian Girl With Acid Attack for Not Marrying Him,” by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post, November 1, 2017:
Pakistani authorities have been accused of failing to protect a 17-year-old Christian girl who for years has been sexually harassed and stalked by a Muslim man who threatened to throw acid on her.
The British Pakistani Christian Association said Tuesday that the girl, Samina Iqbal from the town of Rawalpindi, has been heckled since 2013 by a man 10 years her senior who is trying to get her to marry him.
Iqbal said the man has been “accosting her daily on her way to school.”
From her account, according to BPCA, he would often block her path and demand that she speak with him and marry him.
The marriage proposals at the time went against Pakistani law, which states that a bride should be at least 16 years of age, BPCA noted.
The teenager explained that the man would wait for her every day on her way to school.
“For Samina, however, the chance of meeting with him filled her with fear and dread, so much so that often she would stay at home and cry her day away having lost all hope,” BPCA added, noting that the man would also sit outside her house and yell her name.
After family talks with the man failed, Iqbal stopped attending school and did not leave her home for an entire year, becoming seriously ill and depressed.
The BPCA said the suspect has even pulled a dagger and chased away a police officer who wanted to talk to him about the case.
The watchdog group said that police have failed to deal with the man despite his threats, including one instance in which he threatened to throw acid on Iqbal.
The ongoing harassment has forced the Christian teenager to leave her job and see a number of opportunities for a better life cut off.
“It’s sad to hear how this Christian girl has lost her ambitions and dreams of a brighter future, because fear of an impending and looming attack has left her so disheveled. Samina should have the freedom to live as she wants and this man should be punished. He has left her without an education and has destroyed a promising career,” said BPCA Officer Mehwish Bhatti.
Wilson Chowdhry, chairman of the BPCA, added: “Once again the police services provided in Pakistan are brought to disrepute simply for failing comply with their own protocol. The indiscipline and lack of empathy shown for Samina and her family is indicative of the low value placed on Christian lives.”
“Sexual harassment is not new to Pakistani authorities, nor is the blatant ignoring of submitted complaints which actually follows a very usual pattern,” he said.
“Our lead officer will be raising this new sexual harassment case with senior police officials and we hope to get a crime registered, however it should not be the duty of NGO’s to galvanize police response.”
The watchdog group has started a fund to support Iqbal’s family.
Hundreds of Christian girls are kidnapped and forced into Islamic marriage each year in Pakistan.
Several cases have made international news in the past couple of years, including one from April 2016 when five Christian girls were taken from their parents and forced to convert to Islam.
“In April in the area of Kasur alone, five Christian girls were kidnapped and converted to Islam and forced to marry their captors. These girls are denied the legal protection of individual rights,” Sardar Mushtaq Gill, a lawyer with Legal Evangelical Association Development in Pakistan, said at the time.
Christians in Pakistan reported in July 2016 of a father seeking justice for his 16-year-old Christian daughter who was sexually assaulted by Muslim attackers in Sheikhupura, Punjab.
Other groups, such as International Christian Concern, have warned that authorities too often side with rapists in such cases.
“There are many such instances of persecution of Christians at the hands of Muslims in Pakistan…….

Mark this well. What is happening to this innocent girl and her family will happen in our country if we do not wake up soon before it is too late and do something about it.
Matthieu Baudin says
That could well be the case. At the present time it matters very much that this extreme persecution is happening in Muslim dominated countries around the world. Christine does a magnificent job drawing these cases to our attention so that we are forced to confront them and continue to talk with others about this dreadful stain on the world.
Alex Smythe says
Similar things have already been going on in the U.K. and some other Western countries for some time now.

True, Alex–this Islamic barbarism has now reached the West.
John Forbes says
THE WEST IS HORRIBLY SILENT IN RELATION TO THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS WORLD WIDE AS IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ODDLY ENOUGH .
I CERTAINLY WOULD NO LONGER CITE THE UK AS AN EXAMPLE FOR ANYTHING ACTUALLY WITH THE UNBELIEVABLE LEGACY & ONGOING & ACCELERATING MUSLIM CHILD RAPE GROUPS SAGA !
THIS IS A DISGRACE THE BRITISH & BRITISH POLICE & THE LAW PROFESSORS & PARLIAMENTARIANS NEED TO BE REMINDED OF AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY ADDING IN THE DENIAL ,LYING & COVER UP OF THE BBC !
THE RULE OF SO CALLED BRITISH JUSTICE & LAW WAS & IS BEING WITH HELD FROM BRITISH WHITE , INDIAN & SIKH CHILDREN ACROSS BRITAIN !

Pakistan: Muslim stalker threatens Christian girl with acid attack for not marrying him
…………………..
This poor girl and here family.
A Muslim may rape a Christian or other Infidel girl, and force her into marriage–and he may punish her if she resists.
And the police are complicit in this in Pakistan and many other parts of Dar-al-Islam.
Mockingjay says
Maybe the girl should just twitter #METOO to get the attention of the leftist media.
Infidel says
Lecherous beasts in human form
religionofpeace says
The lefties are going to say this Muslim captor has nothing to do with Islamic culture.
LeftisruiningCanada says
When of course he does, as does the surrounding culture that failed to doing anything about him.
Guys truly sounds like an oppressing demon, but how can the dhimmi christians do anything, and why would other muslims bother?
MFritz says
Poor girl. This will go wrong. Pakistani authorities won’t do anything and the West doesn’t care.
mummymovie says
Where are my fellow punk-rockers on these traditionally liberal principals?
Huh?
Where are they?
Quiet as church mice… because they know the sexist, racist, supremacist, violent, draconian ideology they’ve cozied up to tuns counter to every principle they proclaim to stand for.
The prominent demogods, like Dave Dictor, the singer of MDC, quietly bask in their celebrity, and the political correctness that once served an admirable purpose, but now (hopefully) just binds them to stay quiet, regardless of theirs historically rhetorical songs against violence and the abuse of women.
These are historically liberal principles.
Yet out of fear and the profit potential from their tours, royalties, virtue-signaling popularity, they stay silent and don’t mind that they’ve been co-opted.; they’re way too comfortable, and middle-aged.
Dave Dictor (the de-facto figurehead of the so-called movement of crusty-street urchins who call themselves “Antifa”), should have something honest to say about current events.
But certainly he won’t.
Rather stay popular and ride it out
Robert Spencer should interview Dave Dictor.

It just goes to show – if someone comes from that hellhole, ban them wholesale from ever entering the shores of any Western nation. I’m prepared to deny every single last one of them and take the gamble on potentially missing out on the cure for cancer etc etc by banning the ‘wrong’ one in amidst the hordes. I feel pretty damn confident that we’re not going to see some mega breakthrough that benefits the entire species, at the hands of your average Paki.
Let’s be realistic though. What does Pakistan offer the world? Because I can come up with far too many negative examples. I seriously, cannot sincerely think of a single good benefit. That’s probably my bias talking because by God, do I have bias against Pakistan, its people, its culture and its festering cancer of a religion. But I seriously, cannot think of anything positive.
Do they make fancy carpets too? Is there some bizarre item or service that this bunch of canker sores offer the world, aside from violence, misery, sexual atrocities, ignorance, religious fanaticism, welfare abuse – the list just goes on and on and on?
I feel bad for this girl. She’s 17. No doubt extremely sheltered. And the type of Christianity that she’s been raised in, I’m willing to bet is a hell of a lot more strict and old testament style, than what the average Western Christian gets dished up. Add all that in with her being raised in that cesspool country and she will never have a chance to achieve anything. She will never have a life remotely close to the life us Westerners can have.
Her life – the absolute best case scenario for her, is that she marries a man who doesn’t beat her senseless every week and only demands 5 kids from her instead of 14 and that while she is raising those 5 kids in abject poverty, she never has to sink so low as to suffer through a famine, or earthquake or plague outbreak etc. She will die too soon, probably of violence, but perhaps also from just giving up the ghost after being plain worn out, after a lifetime of serving her husband and his family, raising her brood and trying to stay safe and alive in that cesspit she was born into.
Its probably a ‘good’ thing that she believes in God in some form. Because honestly, with a life like that in front of her, I wouldn’t blame her, or anyone else, for just rolling over and giving up out of despair. Believing that there’s something bigger than yourself and its all part of God’s plan must be a way to rally and keep going each day, given the sheer hopelessness she is going to face.

All Christians and other Infidels remaining in Pakistan should get out, no matter how difficult, and get to India. Not perfect, but at least they have a chance of a future there.

Provision should be made to facilitate and welcome all persecuted Christians into the US and Europe, thereby strengthening our resistance to the power and influence of Islam. It’s these stricken Christians who know the true nature of this religion and likely to be our most forceful and vocally articulate citizens of the future. They might very well be the saving of the West. But can our governing bodies grasp this simple fact? Alas!
