Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK Home Office set to deport Christian who has been beaten and threatened with death by Muslims back to Pakistan

Dec 27, 2018 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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.”…

      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.

      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.

    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

      Dec 27, 2018 at 10:17 pm

      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

      Dec 27, 2018 at 11:32 pm

      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.

    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.

      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.

    Dec 27, 2018 at 8:27 pm

    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.

    Nope, no room for the body of Christ in Europe.

    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.

    “My own family’s heritage is Muslim. Myself and my four brothers were brought up to believe in God, but I do not practise any religion. My wife is a practising Christian and the only religion practised in my house is Christianity.” Sajid Javid (Wikipedia)

    • simpleton1 says

      Dec 28, 2018 at 5:52 pm

      From an article by Douglas Murray.

      After the Paris attacks, he [Javid Khan] told the BBC: ‘The lazy answer would be to say that this has got nothing whatsoever to do with Islam or Muslims and that should be the end of that. That would be lazy and wrong.’
      Sadly, he proceeded to utter the second most lazy thing one can say: ‘These people are using Islam, taking a peaceful religion and using it as a tool to carry out their activities.’

      http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9416542/religion-of-peace-is-not-a-harmless-platitude/

      Javid is sworn in as “Home Secretary” on the koran, following all koranic protocols.

        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 depth of infiltration into democracy.
