Of course. The Home Office doesn’t want to appear “Islamophobic.”
“Christian man ‘beaten and threatened by Islamic extremists’ in Pakistan faces imminent deportation from UK,” by May Bulman, Independent, December 26, 2018:
A Christian man who was allegedly beaten and repeatedly threatened with execution by Islamic extremists in Pakistan is facing imminent deportation from the UK.
A church community in Birmingham has been left shocked after Asher Samson, 41, was detained while attending a weekly signing event with the Home Office in Solihull on 26 November.
Mr Samson told The Independent he was “terrified” at the prospect of being sent back to his home city of Abbottabad in Pakistan.
The 31-year-old first arrived in the UK in 2004 to carry out his theology training in order to become a pastor, but later applied for asylum after receiving threats from Islamic extremists during visits home, he said.
His asylum claim was rejected earlier this year and Mr Samson is now being held in Morton Hall Detention Centre in Lincoln where he has been told he will be deported.
Mr Samson said he has “no one and nowhere to go” in Pakistan, adding: “If they do send me back my life will be really in danger. I’m so scared.
“People know who I am, they know I am a Christian and they have seen me on social media.
“They told me they had booked me a flight and I refused to go. They said next time they will take me by force.”…
Revered Lorraine Shorten, who has known Mr Samson and his brother Aamir for 15 months and is pastor at their church of 10 years, said he was a “well-thought-of” member of the community….
“It’s shameful – we are a Christian country yet we can’t help them. It’s terrifying to send him back there with the situation for Christians in Pakistan.”…
“At home they were threatened and they lived in fear. This is so extremely short-sighted by the Home Office.”…

This is horrible news, these are the same people importing thousands of Muslim extremist preachers and Muslim child molesters every year!

The West is run by leftist hollywoodized globalists who hate Christians but love jihadists that is why you see the West constantly helping muslims, even directly helping and arming muslim jihadists around the globe! WESTERN WORLD REALLY DESERVES SOME HUGE DIVINE PUNISHMENT FROM THE LORD! Western world promulgates jihadism, islam, LGBTQ obscenities, gay marriage indecency, radical feminism, mass abortions, cultural marxism, political correctness, extreme materialism and godlessness and all kinds of immoralities and corruption. Basically Nothing good will come out of the West!

By “divine punishment from the Lord” christianblood has made it clear is that he wants to see us conquered and destroyed by ravening Muslims. How this would make things better for those like Asher Samson he of course has never said.

Get Kamila Shamsie on the case. She’ll fight the deportation tooth and nail. Isn’t that right, Kamila?
Yes, I know that was a cheap shot. but there is also a serious point to be made here. Just the other day there was a case of a rapist who pretended to be Christian escaping UK deportation to Iran on the grounds that there was *the possibility* of the Iranian authorities finding out about his fake Christianity and if so, then the further possibility was that they might mistake his fake Christianity for real Christianity, and is so, then he might get roughed up. Oh no, we can’t have that happen to a rapist. Heavens forbid.
My God, this Asher Samson is not only a Christian — a *real* Christian, you know, like Asia Bibi, the other Pakistani the UK denied asylum to — he is a *pastor*. They want to send a *pastor* to an Islamic Republic where a Christian lay-person is right now being hunted by Muslim mobs intent on killing her. This man, in their eyes, *preaches blasphemy*. It’s how he makes his living. The savages will tear him limb from limb, behead him, and set the remains alight. Come on, Imran. Tell me I’ve just hurt Muslims’ feelings. I dare you!
And as for you, Kamila Shamsie, let’s see what your compassion is made of. Come on. Show us.
Asher Samson’s lawyers should be calling around the embassies, starting with the US and Hungary. They still know what a refugee is.

A “Christian country”? No, it is not.
Mrs. Bibi reused entry from paksitan. This man being deported to pakistan. And the “home secretary” saying only “extreme cases” of those who are rapers of non moslim children…”Asians” …a..k.a. pakistanis…will be deported. The rest of the gangs can continue living in the U.K.
In the recent past, other criminals…moslims convicted of various crimes… who have served time in prison, have been allowed to stay in the U.K. because….wait for it….they would be persecuted or killed if sent by to their home country. The **criminal moslims* are allowed to stay in the U.K. because of the possible dangers to them deported to their home country.
Non moslims….who have not committed any crimes…are not allowed to enter, or if already there, not allowed to stay….even if there is certainly beyond doubt that they will be killed in their “home country.”
No!, the U.K. is not a Christian country. It has been given over to islam.
somehistory says
Mrs. Bibi reused entry from paksitan .. should be refused entry from pakistan
sent by to…should be sent back to
dangers to them deported … should be “if” deported
So sorry for all of the typos….just so difficult to see every letter…esp those missing ones.

The clouds of CIVIL WAR are looming over Pakistan which should have never come into existence .It is one of the most VILE country to live in for the Christians .I hope Mays days are numbered as a weak Prime Minister which this great country does not deserve.

Will all the people on the plane hear his plight and protest? Will they hear it and not care? Will they never hear about it cuz christians don’t play the victim card as much?

Hey Brits! I hope you understand now that May’s government doesn’t care about you! It will gladly send you back to a Muslim country to certain death. Doesn’t it make you feel good to know that your death will enhance May’s political career?

It won’t serve any useful purpose .May and Mohammad are one ,just as Jesus and God!!!
Paul says
Why is he afraid of dying for his Christian faith? What if Paul,Peter,and Stephan recanted their beliefs in the promise of eternal life? Jesus promised eternal life to those who rejected mortal life in His Name. Is it any wonder the enemies of Christ show no respect for Infidels? “I will die for being a Christian,” should be said with faith and not fear. Will I? I pray I do
gravenimage says
The idea that we should be happy with Muslims slaughtering Christians–and with Westerners themselves enabling this–is utterly disgusting.
Are *you* in immediate danger of being murdered for being Christian? If not, then sneering at Asher Samson instead of trying to help him is just disgusting.
somehistory says
Being “afraid” and “recanting” are not the same thing.
When Jesus Christ was in the Garden all alone, praying to His Father for strength and endurance, He asked, “My Father, If it is possible. let this cup pass from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you will (Matthew 26:39).”
Jesus did not want to die…it was going to be a horrible, painful death. He was in agony, He prayed about it, and His sweat became as drops of blood. He knew it had to be, but He still prayed about it not happening.
This young man is not Jesus and dying is not something to wish for. Perhaps his faith is not as strong as some others. But, no one knows just how they will do when faced with this test. Jesus said, “The one that endures to the end will be saved.” Endurance is necessary. Crying is not against the rules of faith.

The UK is busy deporting migrant Christians to make room for the Muslim migrants they are importing. .
Michael,B,Budinger says
No surprise here, Our elite ruling class is totally Islamic compliant. These are the only people who are free to do exactly as they want.
For the USA to fight in the European theatre in world war two, the UK had to agre to the following for rules.
1/ Freedom of Speech.
2/Freedom of Religion.
3/ Freedom from want.
4/Freedom from Fear.
To placate Islam they have taken all four of these freedoms from all but muslims.
1/ Freedom of speech is now illegal.
2/Freedom of religion is almost illegal, unless one is muslim.
3/ Freedom from want, this is now only for muslims, we have thousands living on the streets now.
4/ Freedom from Fear. exercise freedoms 1 and 2. You risk prosecution, having your family harried by the police and or courts, you your self can be imprisoned ,and put where muslims can kill you for the state, this has already been done, but you hear nothing from the media.
This is going to be far worse once May has signed up to the Islam controlled United Nations agreement.
Raja says
Michael BB,
Thanks for the info. UK is surely in moral decay and will be similar to Egypt and Pakistan.
James says
That makes no sense. We had freedom of religion well before WW2. And the US has no right to tell us, or any other state not under its legal jurisdiction, how we are to manage our internal affairs. The US is not the world’s policeman, Pope, or ruler.
gravenimage says
As I have noted many times before, the “divine punishment” christianblood demands for the West is for her to be violently conquered and taken over by Muslims.
gravenimage says
Sorry–this post is in the wrong place.
James says
That is rather hard on those of us who oppose Islam. Why should *we* have to tolerate this shit ?
Raja says
This is travesty of justice and this proves that UK is very much an evil Sharia state. This is a relic of Christian society where rule was equal to all.
I didn’t know Leftism couple with Islam does so much damage to a nation.
Hope UK is shamed for this kind of evil things.Hope all investors take a serious note of this.
Lydia Church says
Further proof of:
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR JESUS AT THE INN!!!
First Asia Bibi, now this fellow.
And the woman in Sweden from Iran.
Nope, no room for the body of Christ in Europe.
But for the devil?
For him they have plenty of room, and tax payer money!
Sick and sad!

One can not expect Justice and compassion from a Muslim/Mohammadan towards a Christian. It is just not in their blood and nature .How can you expect a scorpion to kiss you? You will always find a MUSLIM PREJUDICED and TREACHEROUS.
tgusa says
When the bill eventually comes due for this back stabbing treachery that has been enabled by non-muslim UK government reps I suspect it will not be pretty. Way back in WWI there was place called no mans land, an empty area (except for the abandoned dead) between the warring parties and that is where the treacherous will find themselves. These are people who will have no hope and no future. No matter what may happen to me I can always say, thank God I am not one of them.

He could have affirmed where no religion is required.
He wins muslim awards.
An interesting article showing that political muslims stay as muslim, unless they say and become ex-muslim.

The British people should mob the Home Office and drag out the rats inside by the hair and beat the living tar out of them in front of their colleagues.
We should do the same to the Open Border crowd here.

The UK Govt. is anti-Christian, and pro-Muslim. What other inference can be drawn ? The Govt. allows in hordes of Muslim immigrants, but won’t allow in persecuted Christians. Why are the Churches in the UK not protesting against this, and not defending persecuted Christians ?

Just reading this on 6/JAN/19. Bloody disgusting. also just read about this white British bloke who has converted to Islam & spits on British Society etc. Why not send him to Pakistan & let this fella stay?
