These “love jihad” incidents are motivated by supremacist assumptions. The idea is that the Muslim community will always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community. In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the court shares the same assumptions. And so Maira Shahbaz has no chance at freedom except to flee.
“Pakistani Christian Teen Flees into Hiding After Court Returns Her to Custody of Abductor,” International Christian Concern, August 27, 2020:
08/27/2020 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) learned that Maira Shahbaz, a 14-year-old Christian girl who was abducted and forcefully married to a Muslim man, has escaped her abductor’s custody and fled into hiding with her mother and three siblings in Faisalabad, Pakistan. This comes only weeks after the Lahore High Court ruled that Shahbaz was legally married to her abductor and ordered her to be returned to his custody.
On April 28, 2020, Shahbaz was abducted at gunpoint by Mohamad Nakash and two accomplices while walking home in Madina Town, near Faisalabad. According to witnesses, the abductors forced Shahbaz into a car and fired gunshots into the air as they fled the scene.
Aid to the Church in Need reports that Shahbaz told police she was drugged, raped, and forced to sign blank papers that were later used by Nakash as a marriage certificate and a conversion certificate. Shahbaz also claimed that Nakash filmed her being raped and threatened to release the video online if she resisted.
After the abduction, Shahbaz remained in Nakash’s custody. To justify his custody of Shahbaz, Nakash claims that he and Shahbaz are married and that she has converted to Islam. To support this claim, Nakash produced a marriage certificate stating that Shahbaz is 19 years old. However, the validity of this certificate has been brought into question as the Muslim cleric whose name is listed on the certificate has denied any involvement in the marriage.
Shahbaz’s parents challenged the marriage’s validity in an attempt to have their daughter returned to their custody. As evidence, Shahbaz’s parents presented their daughter’s birth certificate to the Faisalabad District and Sessions Court. This document, supported by other school documents, proves that Shahbaz is a minor, rendering the marriage to Nakash illegal under the Child Marriage Restraint Act.
On July 30, Judge Rana Masood of the Faisalabad District and Sessions Court ordered that Shahbaz be allowed to leave Nakash’s custody and placed in a women’s shelter, known as Dar ul Aman, until the Lahore High Court heard her case. Following this order, police also registered a formal complaint against Nakash and his two accomplices for Shahbaz’s abduction.
On August 4, the ruling of the Faisalabad District and Sessions Court was overturned by Judge Raja Muhammad Shahid Abbasi of the Lahore High Court. Judge Abbasi reportedly ruled in favor of Nakash because the court found that Shahbaz had converted to Islam. Witnesses in the court claim that Shahbaz was in tears when the ruling was announced….

Ah, Pakistan…aka, Hell on Earth. What a suppurating hole.

No comment on another story about the sad state of affairs in the world we’re living in today.

You go, girl!

Islam brings back the shotgun wedding, but not for the old reasons. Islamists tend to rush through some of their weddings just so what immediately follows isn’t rape.
gravenimage says
They don’t care if it is rape or not. They just want to further punish the victim.
ontheridge says
I think any girl that is abducted, forced to “marry” her abductor and raped, should make their lives hell. Burn all their clothes, destroy the inside of the house, and act absolutely insane, screaming all night long until they let her go. Don’t make it pleasant for them at all. Don’t give them a moments peace.
Rowena Muldal says
You, sadly, and very obviously, know nothing of isssslam. It encourages men to beat their wives. They are entitled to even disfigure and KILL these poor women, with NO worries of being held accountable for it. THIS … is what the feminists and the liberals of the west want for ALL women.
gravenimage says
Exactly, Rowena. Any victim of forced marriage to a Muslim who tried this would would wind up beaten, attacked with acid, or “Honor Killed”.

Pakistan: Christian teen flees after court returns her to custody of her Muslim abductor
…………..
I hope the family is able to flee to India. Maira Shahbaz and her family will remain in grave danger until they get out of Pakistan.
Keith O says
Yeah, they could flee to a safe country, like the UK or Canadastan.
gravenimage says
I take your point, Keith–still safer than Pakistan, though.
Christopher Watson says
Yet our western governments pay these animals billions of £ and $ every year. Why not just cease all payments and start sending Pakistanis back to their homeland. The Chinese are starting to back Pakistan financially. Fine, let them. They will soon find out that Pakistan is a financial black hole.
gravenimage says
Yes–the West should cut all monies. The US under President Trump has already started this.
Roger Woodhouse says
The UK would refuse her asylum anyway because it ‘might offend the muslims here’
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Sometimes it’s easy to dismiss these stories from the Middle East as some “far off” problem that doesn’t concern us. But let me offer what my hero Tommy Robinson has to say about muslim rape of children in Britian. Child rape is not a far away problem when those who are doing the raping are living next door to us. Bless Tommy for his steadfast dedication to the well-being of children and his nation. He’s paid the price, I think he deserves respect for the good work he’s done for human rights. If he gave up tomorrow he’d still be remembered as one of the great ones who actually cared enough to risk everything, his freedom, his safety, and his livelihood. He’s a good man, a true hero for freedom.

Hear, hear, Agostino. Tommy Robinson is a great hero.
And I never dismiss hideous stories such as this one–a nation need not be near by for me to care about the victims. And we may be seeing these horrors here in the West soon enough if we are not careful.
talleyrand says
These horrors are in the west NOW and being covered up ,speak up about it or raise the spectre of what is happening to school chidren and like Tommy did in England you will end up in Goal
they are a protected species ,that shoud have passed into history 1500 years ago

Tommy Robinson is a great hero, and if Britons had any sense they would honor him.

Agostino Armo Pellegrini,
Much thanks for the video link. Tommy Robinson is a true patriot falsely labeled as a far right extremist by the enablers of the Pakistani muslim rape gangs.
Look at the reaction that Lord Pearson gets when discussing these gangs at the House of Lords. Absolutely appalling.

Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
I’ve seen this vid, Lord Pearson has stood by Tommy Robinson. He seems to be a good guy from what little I know of him. And yes, I heard the gasps of denial from the other members, for one brief moment the illogicality of Alice in Woderland slapped me in the face. We’re living in a world where being good is bad and morality is immoral. That’s why the goverment portrays Tommy R as a racist islamophobe instead of the hero he truly is. It seems like much of the civilized world is living a charade in which the ugly truth of islam is hidden behind masks of obstinate denial. Parliment did not gasp because of the truth that Lord Pearson spoke, they gasped because it didn’t agree with their preconcieved notion that it couldn’t possibly be true–despite the overwhelming evidence. Britian is living a lie that will cost them their nation’s peace, freedoms, and security.

Superb commentary by Tommy Robinson asking very important questions.
Anyone who speaks out or who is proud of their heritage is accused of being “far right”.
Anyone who speaks out against islam is accused of being ‘racist'{but islam is not a race} and ‘islamophobic'{but there is no such thing as islamophobia:that is a trick to silence legitimate dissent}
FYI says
@Agostino
Thanks for the video.
I Just watched that other video listed at the end on {You Tube God Bless you, please?} on RT a notoriously biased news network.
Watching the interview with Tommy Robinson I was wondering why the interviewer was so rude and defensive of islam, downplaying the rape statistics in the UK:She is of course……. ‘married to a muslim’
That explains her obvious blinkered bias.Listen to her excuses!
That shows how the media covers it up and assists the child abusers.
Didn’t the ‘prophet’ muhammad,whose sunnah,all muslims follow indulge in child rape?
{YES:Sahih Bukhari 5:58:236}
tim gallagher says
The more I read about these appalling reports about Pakistan the more I think it is a country of extraordinary evil and barbaric backwardness. Of course, that is a suitable way to describe every Muslim country. I guess Muslims would think of Pakistan as a wonderful, very pure, very devout Muslim country, in other words, an uncivilised hell. I doubt whether it will ever make progress and become even vaguely humane and civilised. Pakistan is certainly a place for all non-Muslims to get the hell out of if they get the chance. Leave the place to rot away.
dumbledoresarmy says
I am glad she has escaped. I am sure that Barnabas Fund – among others – will be offering assistance to her and her family. Best thing to do is to support bodies such as International Christian Concern and the British Pakistani Christian Association – and Barnabas Fund – so that they can assist people in this situation.
gravenimage says
Yes–I hope so, DDA. I hope the family can get to India.
Chrissie01 says
Isn’t it strange that most of the West seems totally unaware of Islam’s atrocities against other creeds and their members?
Isn’t it a riddle why all of this goes unchallenged?
Isn’t it weird that the muslim communities all over the world do not even see a cause for discussion?
Beverly says
Farrah Fawcet did a movie based on a true story a while back called ‘The Burning Bed’. She was an abused wife and one night she decided to take care business permanently. If I recall correctly she used a cast iron skillet to knock him out and then she set his bed on fire, took the kids and left. I think I would consider something along those lines. It’s either kill or be killed. Use a lit cigarette as a fire starter so it looks like he fell asleep smoking. Everybody has to sleep at some point.

Do you have any idea what would happen to this girl, her family, and the entire Christian community if she were suspected of this?
OLD GUY says
Islam the biggest lie on earth when it claims to be a religion of love and peace. Just plain BULLSHIT!
