If the roles were reversed here, which they would not be and should not be, this would cause an international outcry. But no one will take any particular notice of this. It doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative of “Islamophobia” being the real problem.
“Christian man resists forced conversion, threats from young Muslims (Video),” by Shafique Khokhar, Asia News, August 25, 2020:
Sialkot (AsiaNews) – A video posted on TikTok in July shows a Christian man being pressured to reject his faith and convert to Islam. Despite threats, he can be heard saying that “for nothing in the world” will he abandon the Christian faith.
The video, posted by bilalmaher479, went viral, but also sparked a strong reaction from Christians and members of other religious minorities.
Hitherto, non-Muslims have to had to witness the forced conversions of girls and young women, compelled to marry Muslim men. The forced conversion of boys and young men is something relatively new.
In the video in question, the Christian man is seen being pressured to recite the shahada, the Islamic creed, surrounded by people who are not seen. Despite everything, he refuses, saying that for nothing in the world would he recite the Muslim creed and reject the Christian faith.
His tormentors then begin to threaten him, saying that he will face serious consequences. Even then, the victim says no, stating that it is his right to keep his faith and that he is ready to suffer all the consequences, that he would not give up his religion….
For his part, Rev Irfan James of Peshawar said…“It is sad that young Muslims, the majority community, constantly threaten Christians and our faith. Time and time again, they make fun of our faith, but neither the government nor law enforcement do anything about it.”
“If we report these cases, the offenders get away with it by apologising and saying that they did it in an unconscious way. Should a Christian do something similar, he is immediately accused of blasphemy and the local Christian community is guilty by association.”
“They rape our women, kill our people, destroy or burn our properties,” and all “We want is for our constitution and the law to treat us as equals, with justice, and for the guilty to be put on trial.”
Jayell says
Thuggish protection-racket tactics. Just what you should expect from a ‘religion’ manufactured by a criminal.
mortimer says
Mohammed approved of forced conversions and practiced it.
[Muhammad] said, “Woe to you, Abu Sufyan, isn’t it time that you recognize that I am Allah’s apostle?” He (Abu Sufyan) answered, “As to that I still have some doubt.” I (the narrator) said to him, “Submit and testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the apostle of Allah before you lose your head,” so he did so. (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 814)

Grimly true, Jayell and Mortimer.
toomanyhobbies says
one more time islam is a certifiable CULT so stop calling it a “religion”
gravenimage says
Islam is a religion by any yardstick–it is just an *evil* religion.

Disgusting Thugs. God bless this Christian.

“Time and time again they make fun of our faith”
muslims attack all religions.They persecute ex-muslims ferociously.
muslims ridicule ex-muslims but the ‘Apostates’ are far superior.
I have watched the muslims sitting around after their ‘debates'{which amazingly they always think they have won}preening their beards,strutting around like peacocks,talking about the ‘murtads’ and making up all kinds of false allegations against them{usually incest or bestiality} and it makes me laugh.
They are the one that look like fools!
So what if somebody wants to leave a religion?
“The Murtadeen” they call them{or as I call them,Sane people}
muhammed ‘hey look at my muscles’ hijab and ali’ wanna share in the reward?’ dawah are like an islamic comedy duo.
hijab with that classic,overcompensatory obsession with muscles of the insecure man and his vicious pet poodle ali dawah spewing venom about ‘corruption in the land”
I mean if you you want ‘corruption in the land’ try Pakistan or Saudi Arabia…
Gork says
We do not have to make fun at their faith. They do so themselves quit well. All we have to do is point out their inconsistencies accurately and truthfully. This enrages them –which tells me that this is no ordinary religion. It is a cult of hate.

“Time and again they make fun of our faith”
In that spirit,on behalf of people persecuted by islam{‘apostates’,non-muslims,Christians etc}
Pop quiz for muslims..
1]By what mode of transport did muhammed travel on to visit Jeruslaem {koran 17:1}?
{ Clue:BURAQ.A magical winged flying donkey with a woman’s face.Nobody saw it.We can be sure muhammed didn’t see it either as he once admitted he liked to FABRICATE things like say,being a prophet..
“I have FABRICATED things against God and imputed to him things he has not said”
The ‘prophet’ muhammed telling us he is a false prophet
Al Tabari 6:111
2]if muhammed was the ‘perfect’ man how do you explain Abu Dawud 40:4731?
{the prophet was fat and..}
3]How can the koran be the ‘perfect’ book if ,apart from all the HOLES IN THE NARRATIVE,it has so many egregious ERRORS{like allah has MARY in the Christian Trinity k5:116,the Jews believing that ‘Ezra is the son of allah’ koran 9:30 and Jesus the muslim having the Gospel koran 5:46,Abraham the Jewish patriarch of Judaism ‘was not a Jew’ koran 3:67 ..all evidently WRONG}?
4}”The hour drew near and the MOON was rent in twain” koran 54:1 Really?Where all the muslims asleep?Tell us about that.Use Astronomical records as a reference.Good luck!
5}Why didn’t the chicken get to cross the road?How could it?It had be HALAL-ed.It had to die brutally without any compassion.
6}”Above it are nineteen’ says allah in koran 74:30 in a cryptic crossword clue like statement
Nineteen WHAT and tell us what ‘it’ is?
Isn’t that an Unknown{‘it’} Unknown{‘nineteen…WHAT?}?
“Lo! This koran is a conclusive word’ koran 86:13.No it isn’t:Not if it has inconclusive Unknown Unknowns in it.
muhammed: a fat cross dressing polygamous nonce who liked to fly around on a magical winged donkey,the Holey koran with more holes than a Swiss cheese and a god,
allah the Arab,a Linguistically,Scientifically,Logically and Theologically idiot of a god with TWO RIGHT HANDS
Right: nothing to make fun of there.
Red Pill says
Bible does not teach that, therefore they were not Christians.
somehistory says
There is nothing to suggest that this young Christian man “chose” to live in pakistan, nor is he old enough to have been the one “deciding” to divide India. Place the blame for what you see as wrong on those who are responsible, not some young person just trying to stay faithful to Christ.
Andy country should be glad to have a citizen who peacefully rejects the evil crowd, even under threats.
somehistory says
Good for him, If he is able to continue “in the faith,” he will receive a “large reward,’ eternal life.

Video from Pakistan: Muslims demand Christian convert to Islam, threaten him, but he refuses
………………
This Christian is a *very* brave man. Muslims often murder Christians who refuse to convert to Islam under threat.
James Lincoln says
Pope Francis needs to see this – and forcefully address the situation.
I already know, he won’t…
Janice Mermikli says
Pope Francis is either a fool or a knave and should be avoided. Remember Matthew 15:14:
“Ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind, and if a blind person guides another both will fall into a pit.”
Pope Francis is one such blind guide.
Walter Sieruk says
This is ,again ,an other example of the reality that Islam is so terribly lacking in good valid arguments to uphold it , from the Bible or reason,that Muslims resort to the threat of the use of deadly violence to gain “converts.”
