Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan: 13-year-old Christian girl kidnapped, converted to Islam, forced to marry the man who abducted her

Oct 21, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 17 Comments

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, authorities generally share the same assumptions, so the family of Arzoo Masih is unlikely to get justice. Meanwhile, the international “human rights community” is indifferent: if no “Islamophobia” is being committed, then they have no interest.

“Pakistan teen’s abduction, conversion sparks Christian outcry,” UCA News, October 19, 2020:

A teenage Christian girl was kidnapped and forced to marry her Muslim abductor in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi, her family says.

A local Muslim man is accused of abducting 13-year-old Arzoo Masih while she was playing outside her home in Karachi’s St. Anthony’s Parish. The Catholic girl is the youngest of four children in her family.

Arzoo’s mother, Rita Masih, said she and her husband were at work on Oct. 13 when they received a phone call from a close relative that Arzoo had gone missing.

The family immediately filed a kidnapping complaint with the police. The crime is punishable by death or lengthy imprisonment in Pakistan.

However, on Oct. 15, the police summoned the family to the station where they were given marriage papers which claimed Arzoo was 18 and had willingly converted to Islam after marrying Ali Azhar, a local Muslim….

Shabbir Shafqat, president of the National Christian Party, has condemned the conversion and forced marriage of a minor girl.

“Forced conversion has become a major tool for the persecution of Christians and other minorities in Pakistan. We must make a united stand against Arzoo’s abduction,” he added.

In March this year, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, called on the Sindh provincial government to make the forced conversion of minority girls illegal.

Forced conversions “are too easily and too often disguised as voluntary conversions, leaving minor girls especially vulnerable,” the commission said on March 22 after the forced conversion of two Hindu girls.

“The ugly reality of forced conversions is that they are not seen as a crime, much less as a problem that should concern ‘mainstream’ [Muslim] Pakistan,” the commission said.

A bill against forced conversions introduced in 2016 in the Sindh Provincial Assembly has not been passed yet, the commission said, adding the Sindh government had bowed to pressure from Islamic religious parties which had objected to the bill….

    Totally off-topic, but we read every day like a drumbeat these accounts of Muslim men raping, beating, abusing, and killing girls and women, sanctioned by their violence-advocating religion. The Left continues to ignore and deny this, calling it “Islamophobia”. So should we be surprised that when reports surface of videos showing Joe Biden’s crackhead son Hunter beating and raping helpless Chinese children, the Left leaps to the same denial, this time under the claim of “Russian disinformation”?

    What kind of men look at minor children and feel they need to abduct, convert and rape them? In Pakistan this is what Hindu, Sikh, Christian girls have to go through! Marriage is just a socially acceptable term used for raping these young children. Many of them end up being glorified servants in these mens homes and even get sold into prostitution after a few months. This is pedophilia and let’s call it by that name

          Jayell, the UN has “gone wrong” ever since about 10 minutes after it was created. the socialists who created it (in the u.s., that would be the NAZIcrats) allowed the USSR into the organization as a reward for its aid against the axis nations in WWII, and worse yet, allowed it to be a permanent member of the security council. this guaranteed the rise of corrupt and evil practices. since almost all nations since the beginnings of history have been, and are today, run by thugs, of *COURSE* free nations are *ALWAYS* out-voted in the general assembly (and on any councils which may be created), and blatantly stupid situations, like allowing saudi barbaria, china, russia, and cuba to be on the human rights council, are commonplace. the UN really is the follow-on organization to the league of nations, and because it has been in existence far longer, is *F*A*R* more corrupt and worthless.

          the u.s. and other nations populated by people who used to be free, like we here in amrikistan, and across the pond in eurabia, should drop UN membership. furthermore, if NY state and NYC had any sense – which they do not, because they are run by NAZIcrats – they would put the real estate back on the tax rolls after the u.s. left the UN and collect a boatload of taxes from the openly criminal organization. better yet, the national government should use RICO statutes against the UN and at least throw it out of the country.

          not gonna happen, because the NAZIcrats are in charge in NY state, NYC, and washington, DC … and after 2020-11-03, they are likely to be the beginnings of a one-party dictatorship here. vote against *ALL* NAZIcrats!

    This happens on a regular basis in islamic countries. It’s either a sick way of ‘courting’ a young lady or…the man got tired of his camel, goat or other men. Face it…islam is a sick and perverted cult and like many cults…it uses ‘religion’ as a cover.

      These are fake organizations – they don’t do what their name suggests that they should do.

      Just like BLM, etc…

    What those despicable Muslims did to that little girl is completely unconscionable heinous affront in many ways. The sin and crime of kidnedding and then the forced Islamic “marriage” that child to an adult Muslim male is is really sex child abuse . The kidnapping of that poor little girl away from her family is Likewise child abuse.

    Can’t the US government officially send a message of complaint and demand for action to free this girl for her Islamic bodage ? Since Pakistan makes itself out to be to bea “ally ” and “friend” nation to the US.

    What can be done to help her ? Maybe other reader ofthe site have some good ideas concerning helping this young girl ?

      I think that the United States government should do this – even if only to send a message that the lead country in the free world is watching…

    There’s quite a long list of organizations engaged in trying to put an end to these practices and rescue the victims — I looked it up a few months ago. But the problem is so pervasive in Islam especially, and so widespread and tolerated in Sharia-ruled countries that I wonder how much success they actually have.

    And these are the illegal people UK is welcoming into their countries, paying them £40 per week, giving them £400 each for new clothes, accommodating them in 4 star hotels, or renovated ex military baracks in small towns,paying for their mobile phone accounts (they need these so they can contact their families and friends to encourage them to come on over). It’s sickening. Watch this Voice of Wales video – these guys have a handle on what is happening.

    Are there not enough practicing muslimas over 18 for marriage?
    I would send all Pakistani muslims to the moon (one way ticket) and give Pakistan to India.

    Mind boggling – as a female it makes me want to kill the bastards for doing such evil to a little girl ! Every male-dominated society seems to historically regard female bodies as just places they can stick their disgusting thing to satisfy themselves, when what they do not understand or care about is a female’s natural protection of her most vulnerable part. What they do to those girls is INVASION & HUMILIATION & I am actually surprised that there are not many murders of the males involved…because I am quite capable of killing them myself ! Just let me get at them !

      Male-dominated societies are mainstream islam. I get that.

      Do you consider any Western countries to be male-dominated societies?
