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

Pakistani Christian in hiding in Thailand over blasphemy charge calls on Trump, UN to help

Aug 4, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

It doesn’t matter where you try to hide. Once you are believed to have insulted Islam or Muhammad, some Muslims will try to act as judge, jury and executioner. Many Muslim mobs in Pakistan have driven Christians out of their villages after they were accused of blasphemy — often falsely.

Faraz Pervaiz is one such Christian; he was accused of blasphemy and fled Pakistan for his life, along with his family. He is now in Thailand, but his new location “was revealed in social media.”  Faraz Pervaiz and his father are being hunted for posting criticism of “the Pakistani government and Islamic teachings” online.

While Christians are being victimized and murdered in Pakistan, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan aims to expand Islamic blasphemy laws beyond his country’s borders. Khan stated that “few in the West understand the pain caused to Muslims” when Islam is blasphemed, and he vowed to take the issue of blasphemy to the United Nations.

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws have already gone beyond its borders. Twitter is now enforcing Pakistan’s blasphemy law in Western countries, while Canada and Britain are cracking down on speech that is offensive to Islam and deemed to be hateful or “Islamophobic,” i.e., speech that exposes such issues as female genital mutilation (FGM), jihad terror, honor killings, Muslim rape gangs, the inferior status of women, and the like. In other words, the truth about Islam.

With increased Muslim migration into the West, the Sharia that torments Christians such as Faraz Pervaiz and many others is making its way into Western countries.

“Pakistani Christian refugee in hiding over blasphemy charge calls on Trump, UN to help,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, July 29, 2019:

A Pakistani Christian refugee accused of blasphemy is facing renewed death threats after his location in Thailand was revealed on social media this month. But he and his family continue to face hurdles in their years-long effort for resettlement with no end in sight.

Faraz Pervaiz is again calling on the United Nations, the United States and other foreign countries for help after the address of his family’s Bangkok apartment was posted online July 11, stirring up more death threats and real fear that he could be killed.

The same Muslim nationalist organization that rioted over the acquittal of Christian mother Asia Bibi last year, Tehreek-e-Labbaik, placed a bounty on Pervaiz’s head over a year ago to the tune of about 10 million rupees (about $62,000). The incentive for Pervaiz to be killed was raised in January when a radical cleric who sympathizes with the Taliban placed a bounty of 20 million rupees (about $124,000) on his head.

Pervaiz fled Pakistan in 2014 after Muslim radicals became enraged by videos he and his father posted online criticizing the Pakistani government and Islamic teachings. At the time, he said, there was an increase in disappearances of bloggers critical of the Pakistani government and also an increase in blasphemy charges against such bloggers.

In Pakistan, blasphemy is a crime that is punishable by death or life in prison. Pakistan imprisons more people for blasphemy than all other countries in the world combined, according to Lisa Curtis, director for South and Central Asia at the U.S. National Security Council.

After fleeing the country and facing relative freedom to live out his faith in Bangkok, Pervaiz said that Muslim cleric Abdul Aziz, a known Taliban sympathizer who runs the Lal Masjid mosque in Islamabad, accused him of blasphemy.

Pervaiz said that his name and face were posted on wanted flyers hung up throughout Pakistan. ….

      (…Pakistani Christian in hiding in Thailand over blasphemy charge calls on Trump, UN to help…)

      Sorry for this Pakistani Christian, he obviously doesn’t know that the American government is a pro-jihadist Anti-Christ government led by the ‘deep state’ globalists and that Trump is just their current puppet in the White House! This Pakistani Christian doesn’t know that the Trump administration, which is just a puppet administration for the ‘deep state’ globalists has just released millions of US tax-payer dollars to the murderous Syrian Al-Qaeda “White Helmets” and other genocidal Islamic jihadists in Syria and elsewhere! See and read below:

        “Sorry for this Pakistani Christian, he obviously doesn’t know that the American government is a pro-jihadist Anti-Christ government led by the ‘deep state’ globalists and that Trump is just their current puppet in the White House! ”

        Even if your inane ramblings were true, what does that have to do with the case at hand?

        “This Pakistani Christian doesn’t know that the Trump administration, which is just a puppet administration for the ‘deep state’ globalists”

        I believe you vomited that absurdity in the previous sentence…

        “has just released millions of US tax-payer dollars to the murderous Syrian Al-Qaeda “White Helmets””

        Now wait a minute. You spent years telling us that every single anti-Assad fighter in Syria was a foreigner. Now you tell us that there are Syrians in al-qaeda? Insane!!! And, of course, meaningless for Mr. Pervaiz – you show no empathy to him, you just use his plight as a platform to launch inane, anti-US absurdities from. But I guess I should expect no less from someone who denies the persecution of Christians in the Middle East. Shame. SHAME! SHAME!!!!!

          The satanic, pro-jihadist, Anti-Christ US backed and still backs jihadists in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Kosovo, Bosnia, Libya, Yemen and Syria.

          Below watch as president Reagan receives Afghani jihadists in the White House calls them “freedom fighters”.

          And, again, insane anti-Western rhetoric. As we’ve come to expect from you. It’s especially hypocritical of you to complain about alleged imaginary US support to jihadis (Uncle Sam must be in much better shape than everyone thinks if he can reach up inside Russian soil all under your precious little God-Putin’s watch) when you support and defend jihadi groups, genocidal, Christian persecuting terrorism sponsoring states and the persecutors of Christians in the Middle East. As for the plight of Mr. Pervaiz – well, for you he ran out of his usefulness, which was to serve as a platform to vomit anti-US rhetoric from.

        christianblood does not care about this Christian threatened by Muslims–all he cares aboutr is bashing the West.

        He’d rather this man and his family were murdered than given asylum in America, because that would further expose his bs.

        Yes, some in the West having believed that the “White Helmet5s” are a rescue group is naive–but it does not make them the Anti-Christ as christianblood pretends.

        Meanwhile, he condemns liberal democracies for allowing Muslims to leave their faith–including for Christianity. Just appalling.

      Even more true would be ”An aggressive religion with stupid followers”.

    Perhaps now we have got rid of Theresa May who refused asylum to Aasia Bibi, someone who knows about these things could get Boris Johnson to offer asylum to Faraz Pervaiz and his relatives.
    I’m not holding my breath.

    With the OIC as the largest voting bloc? Good luck with that…

    We don’t need to insult Islam. The very behavior of it’s adherents does more to damage and injury to the faith than anything I could say. All we have to do is to translate what they say to each other, document what they do, and let the words and actions speak for themselves.

    So feel free to say whatever you want about Pakistan. They’ll only prove to each other, and to the world how intolerant their “benevolent” religion is.

    I am praying for Faras Pervaiz and his family just like I prayed for Asia Bibi and her family. She was acquitted and left Pakistan, all due to the grace and mercy of the Triune God.

    As to Christianblood’s assertion that Donald Trump is a “puppet” of the Deep State, think again. Donald Trump is not a creature of the Washington DC swamp, nor an ally of the Deep State. That is why he is hated by those establishments and loved by many Americans.

      “ Donald Trump is not a creature of the Washington DC swamp, nor an ally of the Deep State. That is why he is hated by those establishments and loved by many Americans.”

      Indeed. When you have, to name a few examples, a former Google engineer saying Google will do its best to prevent Trump from winning the re-election, the two-year farce of the world’s most infamous nothing-burger, “RussiaGate”, and a constantly negative, biased, press coverage that outright lies about Trump there’s no way a sane person can deduce Trump to be a member of the “deep state”. Of course, CB is not a sane person, neither does he care about facts or logic – Trump is a puppet of the “deep state” because all CB does here is post anti-Western propaganda and lies, and the “deep state” accusation against Trump is simply a justification he gives. I predicted this years ago – that if Trump won CB would say of Trump what he said of Obama.

    I have cared for several Christian Pakistani refugees who live illegaly in Thailand. This country does not recognie any refugee status. I witness their plight, for example a family sponsered by a Canadian Christian church, since more than 8 months, expecting to be relocated but no hurry from the Canadian administration. In the mean time the family father is in jail, because of overstay.

    And the left thinks WHITE Supremacy is a major problem? The threat of muslim supremacy seems a lot higher and way more dangerous. It all needs to stop!!! There are good and great people from all races and religions, let’s not allow the bad and hateful members of our society define who we are.
