Pakistan: The only Christian journalist at Lahore Press Club quits after mental torture for not converting to Islam

Nov 21, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Imagine for a moment the global uproar if the headline below read in a Western country: Only Muslim journalist registered with Press Club quits after being harassed for not converting to Christianity,” or “Only Muslim journalist registered with Press Club quits after being harassed for not converting to Judaism.” That would not be tolerated; nor should it be. But Western infidels have accepted a bigotry of low expectations and expect nothing but abuse, violence and/or harassment from Islamic supremacists. Even worse, they have allowed such behavior to enter non-Muslim countries, without any call to the immigrants to accept the values of their new land.

“Pakistan: Only Christian journalist registered with Lahore Press Club quits after being harassed for not converting to Islam,” OpIndia, November 19, 2019:

In a shocking, yet expected case of religious intolerance, Thirty-eight-year-old Christian journalist Gonila Gill, married to Husnain Jamil has quit Pakistan media house Dunya News after being harassed by her colleagues for her religion. According to reports, Gill was harassed by her colleagues for not converting to Islam after marrying her husband Jamil.

Gonila Gill who has now had to resign from Dunya News owing to the mental torture her colleagues put her through from not converting to Islam was the only Christian journalist registered with the Lahore Press Club.

Speaking to the media, Gill said people are vile, but no matter what she will not lose faith in her religion.

Speaking to Asia News, Christian journalist from Pakistan, Gonila Gill said, “Received from God the gift of an honest husband, respectful of me and our son who we chose to baptize as a Christian. I am very grateful to him because he helps me and takes care of me, although he is also forced to endure the cruelty of people. He supports my son and I in our Christian life. He often comes to mass with us and participates in prayers. I am lucky to be surrounded by people who love me, my friends who support me ”. At the same time, she adds, “I feel a sense of insecurity in living in this society, and I am very worried about my son’s future”.

According to Asia News, Gonila and Jamil first met at the office and then married in secret in 2014. In 2015, however, they had their grand wedding at a Church. Both families had decided not to impose their faith on each other and hence, Gonila had not converted to Islam after marriage. They had also decided to raise their son as a Baptized Christian.

When the discrimination started against Gonila, she says first they harassed her for not converting to Islam and then, in the beginning, they harassed her for not having a child. Her colleagues had told her that she will not be able to have a child unless she converts to Islam.

She says, “Jesus blessed us with the birth of a son”. At that moment new harassment arose because the community wanted the child to take the religion of the father, Islam. Instead, Gonila and Husnain decided to baptize him and call him Abraham. “I don’t care what people say about me, the only thing that matters is that I am happy with my wife and my son”, says the husband.

After being harassed first for not converting, then for not having a child, then, for raising her son as a Christian, Gonila finally decided to quit Dunya News after persistent mental torture…..

    Is her husband a Muslim? If not, together w/ him, pack up your things and hightail it out to India

      Oops, posted before reading. In that case, just stay there, since she so brilliantly believed that if she raised the child of her Muslim hubby as a Christian, that very intrusive society would treat it like it’s just her business!!

    Shocking !!!!
    The continuing evil of Islam is shocking after all that had happened over the many years

    Of course the ‘mental torture’ truly begins when somebody is foolish enough to convert to islam and reads al LAH’s “perfect” book,the koran.

    Ex-muslim “apostates” will understand.

    1}”There are no mistakes in the koran”

    See “the Scientific mistakes in the koran ” on You Tube
    There are many other errors{logical,theological} e’g k9:30 Jews don’t believe in any
    “Ezra is the son of allah”,the koran says Jesus had the Gospel k5:46 and of course “Abraham was not a Jew” k3:67 since he was obviously a ..muslim.
    Note that by allah’s OWN criterion of k4;82,if even one error is found showing the koran to be IMPERFECT,the koran comes from “other than allah”:which it obviously does.

    allah’s Joke….the koran is FULL of errors…

    2}”There are no contradictions in the koran”

    k4;85 allah PERMITS intercession
    k74:48 muhammed PROHIBITS intercession

    allah contradicts muhammed:it looks like a contradiction…

    3}”The koran is a conclusive word” k86:13

    “Above it are nineteen”{WHAT?}..k 74:30..an IN-conclusive statement
    The koran cannot be called conclusive if it has inconclusive statements

    4}”The koran is easy to understand”k54:22

    For Arabs…but then allah admits he has difficulty with Arabs knowing another tongue
    “What!A FOREIGN TONGUE and an Arab?” koran 41:44

    5}”{the koran} it is no pleasantry”
    koran 86 v 14

    that’s true al lah

    Why do non-Muslims marry Muslims? Don’t they know the script is always same – either you convert to Islam or they will make life hell for you.

      In this case though, the Muslim husband did seem pretty understanding – not only allowing her to remain Christian, but also allowing her to raise their kid as one.

      But she does live in Fuckistan: what did she think – that people around her would just mind their own business? That’s not how it works in the subcontinent as a whole

      • Carol the 1st says

        She’s intelligent, can make her own way in the world, and doesn’t subscribe to that obsolete, superior mentality, so why would you think it was a matter of her being “allowed”? And the issue of the children’s upbringing was most likely discussed before the marriage most likely because her partner loved her and sensed that the first rule of a happy marriage is for the husband to learn to say “Yes, dear!”

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 8, 2020 at 10:34 pm

          Carol, *very* few Muslims say “yes dear”.

          By the way, my husband and I have a real partnership–besides being in love for over 30 years now. I would never expect him to say “yes dear”–but he would never expect me to obey him, either.

    And to think these vermin come to the West and DEMAND SPECIAL RIGHTS for their violent faith

    If the British voters had known what they were unleashing, would they have agreed to let Clement Attlee create this government ? Churchill certainly ages well a lifetime after his death, doent he?

    • Infidel says

      Given UK’s state at the end of the war, it’s not clear that Sir Winston could have done anything about either keeping India within the empire, or preventing the creation of a Mohammedan wasteland

    They had also decided to raise their son as a Baptized Christian.

    This could not end well…
