Pakistan: Muslim neighbors murder Christian woman and her son in front of their home

Nov 14, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 28 Comments

The plight of Christians suffering from persecution by Muslims takes an uglier form when trusted neighbors are involved.

The woman and her 25-year-old son were killed in front of their home. Nobody in the village helped them. For human rights activists, the fact is “a huge example of intolerance and hatred that spreads against Christians”, also nourished in schools. Central and state government’s silence and failure to defend minorities.

Normative Islam is based on supremacy. The absolute loyalty to Islam and hatred and disavowal of unbelievers, especially at any sign of threat or confrontation, is nothing new.

“Punjab, Christian mother and son, killed by Muslim neighbours in quarrel,” by Shafique Khokhar, Asia News, November 12, 2020:

Gujranwala (AsiaNews) – On November 9, Yasmeen and her only son, Usman Masih, 25 (photo 2), were shot dead by two of their Muslim neighbours, Hassan Butt (photo 3) and Khizer Butt.  At first, some media reported that the killing was due to a case of blasphemy, but later it emerged that the reason was more trivial: a heated discussion between two women, Yasmeen and the mother of the two killers, Ishrat Bibi (photo 4).

Mariyam Kashif, a social activist and Catholic teacher, denounces the brutal murder as “a huge example of intolerance and hatred that spreads against Christians”, also nourished in schools. For some time now Christians, a small minority in the country, have been asking for greater guarantees from the state and a reform of study programs, to remove all aspects of hatred and contempt.

Shabeer Masih, Yasmeen’s husband and Usman’s father, spoke with AsiaNews about the incident. On the day of the shooting, Yasmeen left the house around 10.30 and passed Ishrat Bibi, who was holding a stick and began to fight and beat her neighbour. Two months earlier the two had quarrelled over the water drain in the street.

At one point Ishrat Bibi called her two sons, Hassan Shakoor Butt and Khizar Shakoor Butt who, having come out with their guns, fired 20-21 bullets at Yasmeen. The latter’s son Usman came out of the house and seeing his lifeless mother went to help her, but he too was hit by shots.

Shabeer Masih says that his son lived for about twenty minutes, asking for help, but no one in the village lifted a finger; a car passed by, but no one tried to take the son to the hospital (photo 1). Usman had become the father of a little girl just a week ago and had another three-year-old daughter. “The whole family was very friendly and had good relations with the people of the village,” adds Shabeer crying.

On the contrary, according to several testimonies, Ishrat Bibi is known as a bully and contemptuous woman. She had arrived in Gujranwala village three years ago, the wife of Shakoor Butt, a twice married man who lived in Basti Qudratabad Wazirabad.

At Ahmed Nagar Police Station, Shabeer Masih filed a complaint against Ishrat and Hassan, and the two were arrested.

On 10 November, hundreds of Christians and representatives of civil society were present at the funeral of Yasmeen and her son. The Gujranwala Justice and Peace Bureau is helping the family and offering them legal assistance.

Human rights activist Daud Bhatti has condemned this brutal attack against members of a minority and claims that this type of violence is increasing day by day. “The government and the state – he says – are silent on the issue of minorities, and this is a sign of their negative intentions. This poor family has the right to justice and the guilty must be punished according to the law”….

    This reminds me of the Mosul reports where ‘friendly neighbors’ for years came out of their homes then mowed down unarmed Yazidis with machine guns they had received from ISIS.

    You can’t make friends with an infidel.

    Can you just imagine the “relief” that jihadi feels because his obedience to allah has been fulfilled, so at death from old age, likely, to trial and corporal punishment, unlikely, he’s guaranteed immediate access to his 72 virgins in paradise? He will laugh at us until he wakes up in Hell.

      You aren’t wrong, owensgate. In France a Muslim who had just murdered his best friend, a Jewish boy, bounded up the stairs and called to his mother, “I have just killed my Jew!”.

    As far as religions and ideologies go there was always bound to be one that was just based on pure evil. So inevitably Islam just happens to be that ideology that most of humanity ran away from and refused to deal with so it’s grown to be a huge pain in the backside for the rest of us.

    Non-Muslims are more evolved/civilized than Muslims as humans are compared to chimpanzees. Then again when have we watched any monkey bury a rape-victim in the ground and throw rocks at her until she died a painful and terrible death while throngs of barbarians cheered? Even chimps are better than Muslims.

    Not to blame the victim, but if you are a non-Muslim living in an Islamic country, you really should know better. This would be like Jews living in Nazi Germany. You might be ok for a day or so, but over time eventually some Nazi is going to get you.

    There is a great deal of ignorance among non-Muslims, esp in the West about Muslims. Many still think Islam is no better or worse than any other religion. That’s because they haven’t studied Islam or it’s blood-soaked 1400 year history.

    Not only are Muslims against you, but so is the judiciary and law enforcement in Islamic countries. It’s because the lives of non-Muslims in Muslim states are considered to be worthless. So not only do you get treated unfairly by your Muslim neighbors, you’ll never get any justice either because all those laws are based on the hatred of the infidels.

    Lucky for non-Muslims living in Pakistan that they live next to India which will give them safe haven. If they have any brains, they should save up all the money and make a one-way trip.

      Indeed, that’s not to say there are no good Muslims, there are some decent and compassionate ones, but the vast majority of them are a threat to all non-Muslims. The sooner we wake up and realize this and treat them as the enemy the better.

      One caveat, we should allow Muslims who wish to convert/escape Islam to join us, the rest should be dealt with as the Nazis they are.

      Do please get your ideologies sorted out properly – being ‘Left’ does not signify anything to do with religion – there are ‘Lefties’ of every religious flavor….Some Lefties are way too tolerant of religious nuts who actually threaten the world, but some of us ‘Lefties’ are quite cognizant of what-is-what & know very well that religion in general is the biggest curse on the planet when taken to extremes – and yes a few Lefties & a few Righties are so far left or right that they ALSO represent a plague on the planet – in fact treating their POLITICAL views as a religion ! Generally speaking being a Centrist in all things tends to be the most reasonable & safest way to think about any of these ideas, and being too fervent in any of them ALWAYS tends to lead to things getting out of hand. With religion the problem is always that those involved think they have a God on their side, and therefore cannot see past the end of their noses, which is a great shame. We need to re-learn how to listen to other people’s ideas, but while everybody is screaming about ‘those others’ there is nothing but equal hatred generated on both sides ! Interesting because while I feel a lot of ferocious hatred coming at me from the Right, I never see or hear of any real hatred in my Leftie people, more of a sorrow that the Right refuses to listen to any concept of fair play & caring for all….why are you so scared of fair play ? Nobody wants to do any more than make society a better place & all those who are ever asked want to keep their Social Security & Medicare in old age….the most basic, helpful programs that all bottom level humans in this country need for survival – your RW pols are dying to get rid of those basic human helpmates…what will you do then I wonder ? It’s an unfortunate fact that Republicans favor Big Business, and have no interest in the masses, yet 45% or so of ‘the masses’ think the Big Bus guys will do what’s best for them ! Just consider how things were in the 1920’s when the huge Capitalists held sway ! Hopefully we do not have to endure those days ever again ! I just hope that reasonableness prevent us all from killing each other & sometimes I wonder if a higher CO2 level is changing the brain chemistry of some humans for the worst !

    Prime minister Modi of India stands vindicated in calling out all the minorities in Islamic nations in India’s neighborhood. His move might have been political but it is justified. No human needs to suffer in an Islamic state, where Islam is enforced. I wonder if there is any OIC member state out of the total 57 (one being “Palestine”), that is not serious about Islam?. My gut feeling is they are all jihad/sharia enablers in one form or other.

    But according to the government of Pakistan the real problem is Islamophobia, which should be made illegal.

    Killings of Christians by beheading etc. is a different matter because it is protected freedom of religious expression. At least that is the present situation.

    Nobody seems to be willing to change that, including pope Francis who has abandoned Christ’s sheep to dialogue diplomatically with the wolves. The pope and those who follow him have abdicated their role as successors of the apostle Peter. They have made themselves “hired hands” who care nothing for the sheep.

    Unfortunately these kinds of crimes are becoming very common in India too in the Muslim ghetto areas…where it is not safe to be a non Muslim anymore. Hindu girls getting raped and murdered, Hindu men beaten up and murdered for trivial reasons… ALL THIS IS HAPPENING IN HINDU INDIA…. then what to say of Pak.

    What is needed is a world wide publication that mohammad was never a prophet and nothing ever comes out of a lie but just more of the same, a lie. This must be a universal message. To open up the minds of the public world wide.
    The hoax has gone on long enough. One thing is that the truth can get you killed by these animals.

    Unfortunately the general public never see this side of Islam. The liberal media sugarcoats Muslim and Islamic religion trying to convince the population that Islam is a religion of love and peace. The facts however show that it is an aggressive violent cult type religion, with WORLD DOMINATION as its goal. Islam will murder, rape and enslave all non-believers in its path.
