Pakistan: Christian women abducted, tortured, forced to convert and marry Muslim abductor

Mar 29, 2019 10:33 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A Pakistani Christian mother of three was abducted, tortured and forced to convert to Islam by a Muslim man who then forced her to marry him.” Christian women and girls are “very vulnerable to kidnap, forced conversion and marriage to Muslims,” a phenomenon that stems from the inferior status in Islamic law of both women and infidels; yet the world remains blind on such abuses.

Those in the multicultural West persistently try to advance the false notion that all cultures are equal and that somehow, the abusive practices normalized in the Islamic world will be left at the door when large numbers of Muslims immigrate to the West. Yet already in Sweden, there has been a steady rise in both forced marriage and child marriage. Unsurprisingly, there is also an alarming rise in female genital mutilation (FGM) cases in the West.

“Pakistani Christian mother of three forced to convert to Islam by kidnapper,” Barnabus Fund, March 29, 2019:

A Pakistani Christian mother of three was abducted, tortured and forced to convert to Islam by a Muslim man who then forced her to marry him, according to local news sources.

Saima Iqbal, who was already married to a Christian man, tearfully described in a Facebook video how she was snatched from her home on the evening of 25 February.

Saima’s husband, Naveed Iqbal, reported the matter to police but they initially refused to investigate and sided with the kidnapper.

Mr Iqbal said the police only acted after he threatened to set himself on fire.

Mrs Iqbal was reunited with her husband and children, aged 4, 8 and 13, after her kidnapper, Muhammad Khalid Sati, was arrested on 5 March.

“I have challenged the forced conversion and the forced marriage of my wife in a magistrate’s court,” said Mr Iqbal, who is awaiting the court’s judgment.

Non-Muslim girls and women in Pakistan are very vulnerable to kidnap, forced conversion and marriage to Muslims….

    Love Islamic style. And THEY have NUKES. The poe Christian husband threatening to torch himself in protest for the refusal of the return of his wife is true love. Especially since I am surprised the threat worked!

      It sounds crazy, Mac, but in Pakistan there is really nothing else a Christian *could* threaten except self harm. My guess is that Pakistani authorities didn’t want the further bad press.

    Where is the outrage ? Christians worldwide are being killed and beaten and kidnapped by Muslims
    and everyone appears to ignore it! Even the Nazi phony pope francis! We need to wake up before it’s too late. Bravo to the Mr. Ibaal for fighting for his wife and family!
    I pray the insanity stops!

      Jay, In Pakistan Christians have been suffering for over 40 years. you are right the whole world is just watching. I think we all need to be united to fight this evil.

    It is very unsettling for people in the West to come to terms with the fact that all cultures are not equal.

    It is, however, factually true.

      Applause. Simple unadorned truth.

      That being said I probably part company with a lot of readers with the next statements:

      I don’t want a multicultural foreign policy.
      I don’t want a “transactional” foreign policy with the government of Pakistan.

        I think we should have very little to do with Pakistan. About the only except I can think of is using our power of the purse to pressure Pakistan to stop persecuting non-Muslim minorities like Asia Bibi.

    I very much doubt the Pakistani police were moved by a Christian threatening suicide. I also very much doubt whether Pakistani judges are going to run the risk of their own assassination by permitting a conversion *away from* Islam. They might order the woman to return to her Muslim husband, or get around it by arguing that she committed adultery by returning to her Christian ex-husband without her Muslim husband having divorced her, and pronounce the death sentence, a move that might pre-empt “extremists” taking to the streets.

    Before you dismiss this as far-fetched, think again of a *still* ongoing case involving a Christian woman. This is *Islam*, after all. Nothing concerning Islam is far-fetched, except notions that it is peaceful, equal to other cultures or capable of reform.

      Sounds quite possible to me!

    • gravenimage says

      Grimly this is *not* far fetched for Pakistan.

      Then this family should apply for asylum now and be granted it.

      • gravenimage says

        Agreed, Kay.

    If she is back with her husband, I hope the family will soon leave for India and find refugee with the Hindu people they are more harmonious before the terror begins. If the sharia courts think she has committed adultery defined by sharia her life is in peril. What a nightmare.

    She wasn’t forced to convert to Islam. She was forced TO SAY that she converted to Islam.

  10. Victoria says

    Mar 29, 2019 at 5:15 pm

    She wasn’t forced to marry. No. She was raped.

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 29, 2019 at 6:52 pm

      True on both counts, Victoria.

      And these forced conversions are usually accomplished not just by threatening the victim, but by threatening to murder her loved ones–in this case, likely her real husband and children.

    • Kay says

      Mar 31, 2019 at 10:26 am

      Exactly, kidnapped and raped.

  11. kevsh says

    Mar 29, 2019 at 6:19 pm

    These women have not to worry they are not converted. Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.Then John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John goes a little deeper subject. Its still sad that these heathen are doing this.

    Pakistan: Christian women abducted, tortured, forced to convert and marry Muslim abductor
    …………………..

    This is horrifying common in Dar-al-Islam, especially in Pakistan.

    More:

    “A Pakistani Christian mother of three was abducted, tortured and forced to convert to Islam by a Muslim man who then forced her to marry him.”
    …………………..

    In Islam, a marriage to an Infidel is invalidated on the woman’s abduction and rape by a Muslim. And yet, you *still* hear about what “family values” Islam has.

    More:

    Saima’s husband, Naveed Iqbal, reported the matter to police but they initially refused to investigate and sided with the kidnapper.
    …………………..

    This is grimly common. I’m sure the kidnapper was only finally arrested because the husband was so determined, and threatened to make a stink.

    And while I am very glad that Saima Iqbal is free, the trials of this family may not be over. Since she “converted”–although obviously under duress; just look at her tearful photo above–Muslims may still try to murder her as an apostate. And her husband Naveed may also be under threat for having thwarted this kidnapping. I hope the family is able to flee to India.

    We have an idiot for a pope to add to Christians’s miseries . We should deport him either to Pakistan or Nigeria to live as a common christian to educate him . No offense meant to Catholics
