Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Christian tortured to death for bathing in Muslims’ well

Mar 4, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean…” (Qur’an 9:28)

Yes, in the Qur’an, Christians are considered polytheists: “And when Allah will say, ‘O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, “Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?”‘ He will say, ‘Exalted are you! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, you would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within yourself. Indeed, it is you who is knower of the unseen.” (Qur’an 5:116)

“Christian in Pakistan Tortured to Death for Bathing in Muslims’ Well,” International Christian Concern, March 2, 2020:

03/02/2020 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that Saleem Masih, a 22-year-old Pakistani Christian, was severely tortured by a Muslim landlord in Pakistan’s Kasur District because he used the landlord’s tube-well to bathe. Three days later, on February 28, Saleem died at Lahore General Hospital due to the severity of his injuries.

On February 25, Saleem was working as a day laborer in an agricultural field owned by Sher Dogar in Bhagiyana village, located in the Kasur District. Early in the morning, after Masih finished unloading chaff in the fields, he rinsed himself off in a nearby tube-well. When Dogar and other Muslims saw what Saleem was doing, they rushed over, pulled Saleem out of the water, and began to beat him.

“They abused and tortured [Saleem] for ‘polluting’ the Muslims’ water,” Waris Masih, Saleem’s uncle, told ICC. “They got aggressive because a ‘Choora’ (a derogatory term used to denote Pakistani Christians as unclean) dared to make their water unclean. They claimed this would make their entire crop filthy.”

According to multiple reports, Dogar and six other Muslims, including Muhammad Iqbal, Altaf, Ali Shehzad, Jabbar Arain, Mushtaq, and Haji Muhammad, dragged Saleem to Dogar’s cattle farm where they chained him down and tortured him for two hours. According to Saleem’s relatives, he was beaten with sticks and iron rods, struck with electric shocks, and rolled over by an iron rod, causing multiple fractures to his left arm and ribs.

At approximately 9:00 a.m., Saleem’s father, Ghafoor Masih, was called by the police to Dogar’s cattle farm. There he discovered Saleem unconscious and bloodied due to the torture. Saleem’s father rushed him to the district hospital where he received initial treatment, but was transferred to Lahore General Hospital due to the severity of his injuries. Saleem remained in a coma for three days until he died on February 28….

“Christians and Muslims have been living in this village together for over four decades,” Mian Muhammad Abbas, a Muslim community leader, told ICC while condemning the attack. “We still want to live in peace. This village and country belong to every citizen and we are sad for Saleem Masih.”…

    LIES! Islamic filth would never live in peace with anyone, besides themselves…

      Not even with themselves.

        H.H. has a good point: several denominations of Muslims cannot coexist with each other because each one considers itself to have ‘the truth’ and thus they have a right to persecute the other heretical Muslims.

        The issue here is that Muslims consider all kafirs to be ‘unclean’.

        Among things that are najasun (plural of najis, translated variously as “impure” or “filthy”) are the following:
        *dirt
        *human urine and feces
        *other liquids that come out of private parts (presumably including sperm)
        *excrement from animals
        *menstrual blood
        *dog saliva
        *dead animals
        *donkey’s flesh
        *the foul smell that accrues on a long hem of a woman’s abaya over time from contact with the dirt
        *the urine from a breast-fed baby

        And these are not merely “dirty” things for physical hygiene — they directly relate to a Muslim’s “purity” during prayer.

          All these are in the human body from the birth and it will be there till we live , the mind should be clean

    Magically, the fields become contaminated by an unbeliever washing in irrigation water that was never safe to drink. So, unmagically, Islam-robots kill him.

    By its fruits, we know Islam as the most intellectually retrograde force on earth in which dogma and magical thinking replaces logic and inquiry. Islam creates compassion-limited, explosive, bigotry that becomes a virtual dumbing-down of a society; limiting and replacing intellectual achievement with ritual. Praying with the face planted on the ground is symbolic of the myopia given to the believers by accepting the 7th century ignorance and control of Islam.

    A human brain infected with Islam is as alive with creativity and reason as a hard-boiled egg.

      The Muslims probably use this underground pipe to do ritual washings. They believe a kafir cannot touch it because a kafir is ‘najis’ (dirty, polluted).

      WOW, that could almost be used as a dictionary definition of Islam.

    Where ever there are followers of the islam ideology, and other who do not follow it, there is no peace.

    In fact, there is little peace between various interpretations of the idology for that matter.

      Know Islam, NO peace
      Know peace, NO Islam.
      It’s just that simple.

    More weasel words by muslims. Or on Robet Spencer’s words, always the victims.

    Note that some “imam” or leader or whatnot says, “Christians and Muslims have been living in this village together for over four decades … We still want to live in peace…”

    Implies that these poor, put upon peaceful chaps have been putting up with the kufar for 40 years. Not they have been living peacefully for 40 years along side them.

    And that they would gladly be peaceful, want to be in fact, except they keep getting provoked.

    If it wasn’t for these kufar, well, peace and all that.

      When indoctrinated Muslims are looking for an excuse to display institutional bigotry and anger, boiling barely beneath the surface, that is called tension, not peace.

      Islam turns unbelievers and Jews into ready scapegoats for the misery, frustration, and failure that it creates. Today, Muslims in Islam controlled no-oil nations are increasingly frustrated by the growing disparity they can view via the Internet of how the unbeliever nations have left them behind. They also see that the “evil” unbelievers, made incredibly powerful by the application of intelligence, are also incredibly wealthy. Immigration is the only avenue left to them for economic improvement. Allowing foreign governments to finance Western mosques was a major blunder that was intended, and does, keep Muslims from leaving Islam to finally have complete freedom.

        Islam seeks to blame others , especially the Christians and Jews for the poverty that it’s own ideology causes wherever Islam is dominant. both intellectual, financial ( except for oil wealth) and spiritual poverty.
        So Islam can avoid examining its own ideology and can continue to spout ( and believe ) the lie that islam is superior to all,other ideologies, and that the Koran and sunnah hold all of the answers to every question mankind might have.
        Moslems react to any attempt to simply examine Islam as a violent attack, and an attempt by kaffir to eliminate Islam, stop moslems from practicing isolation, to strip their religion away from moslems.
        Why? Because that is what they are told , over and over and over again in their texts.
        Moslems are told kaffir are Islam’s and moslems worst enemy , that kaffir will never stop fighting against Islam and seeking to eliminate it,
        that kaffir are jealous of how wonderful islam is and so they seek to eliminate it or corrupt it, or separate moslems from Islam.

        Moslems are told that kafir know Islam is the one true religion, that kuffir know that Islam is the best religion, superior to all others, yet perversely, because kaffir love sin and the shaytan and hate Islam so much , that they will always try and eliminate or corrupt Islam. And it’s moslems duty to fight to protect Islam form kuffir , to follow Islam scrupulously obeying every command in the Koran, to emulate Muhammed as closely as possible, and to keep,the mentality of “ its us moslems against the rest of the world,” the unbelieving kaffir whom I’d give the slightest chance will destroy Islam or corrupt it as the Christians and Jews have their scriptures.
        The main texts of Islam , Mohammed and Allah’s’s commands, have created an Uncrossable division between moslems and the rest of the world.

    The dirty KUFAAR are denounced in the Koran and hadiths as ritually polluted. So what else can we expect.

    This attitude among Muslims is more prevalent than Western people wish to think.

    Pakistan constantly displays what a loathsome, totally barbaric Muslim country it is in endless different ways. I feel that it gives us a clear insight into what Europe and all our non-Muslim countries will be like if our imbecilic politicians keep letting primitive, knuckle dragging Muslims into our countries. Maybe Pakistan is a worse and more primitive country than some other Muslim countries, but they are all disgusting places where non-Muslims are always treated like crap. When it comes to Islam, it is them or us. 100% incompatibility with our civilised, non-Muslim values.

  7. N D Gaur says

    Meanwhile, muslims are engaging in violent protests in India because Indian Parliament has passed the Citizenship Amendment Act that grants speedy Indian citizenship to the persecuted minorities-Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsees and Christians-of three islamic countries- pakistan, bangladesh and afghanistan- who took shelter in India upto 32.12.2014.
    these Indian muslims think our government should also have included their muslim oppressors of these three countries in the ambit of the new citizenship law and to achieve this, they triggered riots in New Delhi during President Trump’s visit to India 10 days ago, causing the death of nearly 50 people.

    Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Christian tortured to death for bathing in Muslims’ well
    ……………..

    This *poor man*. God, I hate Islam.

    And there will be no justice here–not in Pakistan.

    Our Heavenly Father never forgets those who love Him.
    Jesus said His followers would be hated and persecuted, some even to death. But these ones are not forgotten, but are in “memorial tombs” waiting to hear Jesus call them out to life eternal.

    Ghafoor Masih must sue alleged Sher Dogar and the other five torturers and murderers in the International Court. Sue Sher Dogar.

    Abusing Moslem women under 18 years old, no stun first animal abuse, raping, forced conversions and forced marriages of non-Moslem teens and the pious superior call the non-Moslem “dirty?”
