Pakistan: Influential Muslim politicians threaten to drive 30 Christian families from their homes

Aug 29, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“About 30 Christian families living in a slum near Pakki Mari, Faisalabad, are afraid of losing their homes following threats from two powerful Muslim politicians. The slum is also home to about 70 Muslim families, but they did not receive any pressure.”

Amid the hundreds of millions of dollars being spent worldwide on interreligious dialogue and Western programs about “diversity” and “tolerance,” Christians and other kaffirs continue to suffer the worst abuses and brutality at the hands of Islamic supremacist leaders. Yet to raise this issue with any seriousness renders one “Islamophobic.”

“Thirty Christian families threatened with expropriation by influential Muslim politicians in Faisalabad,” by Shafique Khokhar, Asia News, August 27, 2019:

Christian live in a slum near a bus station in Pakki Mar. The price of land has risen and the Mehmood brothers, wealthy landowners, want to make money from development. The local Christian community has lived in the area for 125 years. Under Pakistani law, they are entitled to ownership after a hundred years.

Faisalabad (AsiaNews) – About 30 Christian families living in a slum near Pakki Mari, Faisalabad, are afraid of losing their homes following threats from two powerful Muslim politicians. The slum is also home to about 70 Muslim families, but they did not receive any pressure.

The two politicians are brothers, Rana Asad Mehmood and Rana Aizad Mehmood, wealthy landowners and members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

“The two brothers threaten to take our lands through their land grabbing henchmen,” said Maqbool Masih, a Christian slum resident, speaking to AsiaNews.

“Christians have lived in this area for 125 years. The area is owned by the federal government who assigned them this area, declaring it a shanty (Katchi Abadi) town for the poor.”

Now the politicians threaten serious consequences if residents do not leave their homes. The slum is in a central location, near Lari Adda, a bus station.

Residents note that the price of land has risen significantly in recent years, up to 1.2 million rupees (US$ 7,530) per marla (just over 25 square metres).

The two Muslims already own Mid Town, a new development near the slum. According to residents, their goal is to take the land and add it to the new area.

Minority Christian have protested against the brothers’ “petty tactics” to force them to give up, like blocking water supply and the sewer system, causing overflow of sewage and waste into the streets.

People are getting sick as a result of the unhealthiness of the place and it is difficult to walk around the area.

Christians are worried but stand firm on their decision not to leave, even it means going to court to assert their rights…..

    muslims subscribe to al LAH, the pagan Arab god of islam ,and they love to tell us about how Christians are polytheists and al LAH is ONE.

    The ONENESS of al LAH{the tawhid}

    {Linda Sarsour loves to show us all the finger to tell us about allah’s ONENESS}

    The ONENESS OF al LAH?

    With his ONE leg , TWO RIGHT HANDS{sahih muslim 1827} and THREE DAUGHTERS{al -lat,al-uzza and manat k53:19-20=PAGAN godesses!!}?

    The ONENESS of allah’s ONE leg
    The TWONESS of allah’s TWO RIGHT HANDS
    The THREENESS of allah’s THREE pagan godess DAUGHTERs

    allah:say not “three” CEASE! It is better for you[k4:171}

    Ok,ok allah:i’ll stop at 3…..I don’t want you to have a coronary…

    muslims;haha look at these POLYTHEISTIC Christians with their THREE GODS!

    And yet THEIR pagan Arab god al LAH has ONE leg,TWO RIGHT HANDS and 3 pagan godesses as daughters:Now THAT’S FUNNY.If al LAH’S daughters are pagan godesses,al LAH cannot be God can he?

    Christians in fact believe in the ONENESS of God:the Trinity is MONOTHEISTIC but muslims{and their allah} don’t understand the Theology of it.

    islam and Logic:separated at birth

    The motive behind most, if not all, blasphemy accusations against Hindus/ Christians in Pakistan is always ‘material gain’.

    Kuffar having houses, farm land or even demanding wages is not acceptable in ‘Pure Islamic’ Pakistan.

      True, Lookman. This is an easy way for Muslims to rob their Christian neighbors.

    Everytime a parcel of land is granted to a Muslim population war follows because it is never enough land and the tenents of Islam demand everyone else submit to them as less than human beings..

    Recently Pakistan Prime Minister was shedding Crocodile Tears for Minorities in India are Tortured by Hindutuva Govt. In his Country Minorities are Perpetually Tortured, but that is Not Torture, but People are Doing their Religious Duty to get vVsa to Jannah.

      You beat me to it. We had that great cricketer prime minister describe India as being run by nazis, and yet, it’s in Pakistan that Christians are now being driven from their homes.

    …………………

    Yes–this persecution of Christians and other Infidels in Pakistan comes from the top and is enabled by the state.

    Just realize how cursed we Hindus of India are to have a neighbor like Pakistan. It is a like a pus filled boil that never goes away … and we have another one… but a bit less virulent on our eastern flank in the form of Bangladesh.

    • Infidel Pride says

      Aug 31, 2019 at 12:40 pm

      Bangladesh is not less virulent: they’re even more dangerous. At least w/ Pakistan, you have a watertight border: you don’t have Pakis infiltrate India into Gujarat, Rajasthan or Punjab. Whereas your Bangladesh border is one that makes the US-Mexico border look like the tallest of Trump’s promised walls. For decades, people from Bangladesh could just walk into India and get on voter rolls, which is why Left Bengal has a 40% Muslim population today, and which is why the BJP, for the first time in history, looks like it could become an active player in Bengal politics

      Bangladesh is a Trojan horse, and the hub Jihadists use if they want to infiltrate India, since it’s almost impossible to do so from Pakistan. ISIS now has an operation there, and it is leveraging its support to India to get what they want, in terms of making their citizens in India permanent
