Pakistan: Hindu family in Karachi forced to convert to Islam amid COVID-19 outbreak

Apr 15, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic tolerance. The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, the journalists who were kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam — even though their conversions were obviously coerced, their captors made them say that they were converting freely, and the captors probably believed that themselves. After all, the journos could have chosen to be killed instead.

“Hindu family in Karachi forced to convert to Islam amid COVID-19 outbreak,” ANI, April 13, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Karachi (Pakistan) April 13, 2020: A Hindu family in Karachi city of Pakistan was attacked by Maulvis or Muslim clerics and forced them to convert to Islam. Basant Kudar, a Hindu and his mother were also threatened to be killed if they disobeyed the order. Basant’s brother narrated the whole incident in a video. A FIR has also been registered against the culprits. Minorities in Pakistan are facing persecution as they are regularly being threatened by the Muslims to convert to Islam.

    As our children are temporarily free from the explicit bias in the educational institution, now is the perfect time to help our kids understand world events. How about having an open and honest discussion with them?

    Educate them about the history of slavery and racism, how far we’ve come and what’s really keeping the wounds from healing. Use real world examples of the consequences of Islamism, socialism, communism and nazism. Discuss with them about climate change, how important is it to be stewards of the earth, but also how the world has always cycled thru various temperature stages, earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes.

    Our most valuable commodity is time, we’ve been allowed to spend it with our loved ones in an unprecedented way, use it wisely. One day we might find the world has become a better place because of how we used the time we were given.

    Non-Muslim families are being threatened that if they don’t convert to Islam, they will not receive any food.

    Is that ‘compulsion’?? Is that bigotry? They are denying non-Muslims the right to live.

    Reducing number of Hindus and other minorities is due to Radical Islam.

    We need to go back in time to understand oppression against hindus in Pakistan.

    1. Two countries were made – one for muslims and one for hindus. Any hindu living in Pakistan can come to India, any Muslims living in India can go to Pakistan.

    2. Then, Nehru – Liqayat Agreement happened. Muslims in India and Hindus in Pakistan were given minority status. Both countries promised to take care of the so-called minorities.

    PAKISTAN WANTED A HOSTAGE HINDU POPULATION.

    Pakistan wanted to keep a hostage hindu population to blackmail India, and keep muslim population in India as its well wisher.

    Nehru wanted this Muslim population to counter hindus and establish his dynasty.

    This agreement decreased the flow of migration. Plus Pakistan found utility of hindus as cleanliness workers.

    The more Muslims become stronger in India, the hindus in Pakistan became more expendable. Plus, modern sanitation facilities have reduced human work. So, hindus in Pakistan are a burden on them.

    Nehru, his family and cabal is the single source of all such problems we have today. Their muslim appeasement and anti hindu policies reeks of religious apartheid.

    Trust me, people like me who were raised as hindus cannot go to any Indian university and practice my religion. I will be mocked, smeared and targeted. It is left and islamist fiefdom.

    You will seldom hear any voice for Pakistani hindus or Indian hindus in Important circles. It has changed a bit due to Internet. However, I do not see any future for Hindus, Sikhs and Christian in Pakistan.

    I strongly want Indian govt to bring all three groups to India and allowed to live and work with dignity.

      Superb post, schwami. Thank you.

      Pointing out once again that appeasement of evil never works well – and there are very few times one can truly use “never”.

      Yes, a Hostage Hindu Population, indeed. Evil loves “hostages” and “slaves”, not to mention terror and misery.

      I wonder what you think of Gandhi. He certainly did much for India’s independence from the British, but as others have pointed out here at JW, he also played a part in the sad legacy of the Indian Hindu-Muslim divide.

      I am sure what your government did with CAA is the right thing, in fact should have been passed years ago. Hindus and other non muslims should not be in pakistan, let them roll in their shit (it’s just that muslims are more worried about pee due to torments of grave, I’ve seen them behave oddly with pee, even in hospitals)
      Push back all those muslims from bangladesh and assist any muslim who wants to go pakistan.
      Make india muslim free

    Pakistan: Hindu family in Karachi forced to convert to Islam amid COVID-19 outbreak
    …………………

    Hindus–and Christians and other non-Muslims in Pakistan–are being threatened with violence or by withholding food if they don’t convert to Islam. Unconscionable.

    Pakistani Ulema want those who are seeking Roja must be given with new family. It’s believed Houris will remain free in this relation. ISI makes untouched contest with such area of Islam.
