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”, […]
Pakistan: Muslim security guard shoots bank manager to death because he ‘insulted the prophet’
The murder appears to have been popular with “the leaders of a religious group”: “The suspect was then joined by the leaders of a religious group, all of whom raised slogans and addressed supporters from the rooftop of the Quaidabad Police Station.” However, “a maternal uncle of the deceased manager stated that the security guard […]
Pakistan: Muslim slaps Christian and drags her into street for calling out to a relative using his Christian name
“Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29) […]
Pakistan: Father of Muslim who went on stabbing spree in Paris over Muhammad cartoons says he’s ‘happy’ with son
This is no surprise. Nor are father and son “extremists.” Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad […]

Pakistan: Christians forced to remove cross from a church after threats from local Muslims
Intolerance is characteristic of Islamic supremacism.

However, it was removed after we received threats from local Muslims. The Muslims demanded we remove the cross and all three floors of […]
Pakistan assembly speaker says construction of Hindu temple in Islamabad is “against the soul of Islam”
The legions of non-Muslims in the West who are anxious to appease Muslims and do nothing that could even be perceived as insulting to Islam should take careful note of these developments, but they won’t. The opposition to this Hindu temple is yet another indication that some Muslims virtually take any non-Muslim expression of faith […]
Pakistan: Armed Muslim gang attacks church, tears down a cross, leaves Christians “terrified”
Just another day for Christians in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Nothing to see here: no “Islamophobia” was committed, so all is well. The cross is an affront to Islam. The Qur’an claims that Jesus was not crucified, although in somewhat equivocal language for what is supposed to be the perfect word of an omniscient […]
Pakistan Human Rights Commission: Hindus and Christians “have been complaining of forced conversions”
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 […]
Pakistan: Christians facing starvation for refusing to convert to Islam
Jihad Watch reported at the beginning of this month that Saylani Welfare International Trust in Karachi was denying food aid to poor Hindus and Christians amid the coronavirus pandemic. “The reason for this is that Zakat, Islamic alms giving (one of Islam’s five pillars), is reserved for Muslims.” Then came the report that Christians and […]

India: Muslim pressures ailing Sikh neighbor to convert to Islam, thrashes him when he refuses
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 […]
Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Muslims force 15-year-old girl to convert to Islam, third such incident in a week
What about that Qur’an verse so celebrated by Islamic apologists in the West, “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256)? No problem! The teacher who forced this girl to convert to Islam likely believes that she did so freely and of her own volition; after all, she could have chosen to be brutalized or killed […]
Pakistan: Daughter of Sikh priest kidnapped, forced at gunpoint to convert to Islam and marry Muslim
“A Sikh girl, who was missing for a number of days, surfaced on Thursday after she was forcibly converted to Islam and made to marry a Muslim man in Nankana Sahib area of Lahore.

Pakistan: violent attack on Christians incited from Mosque loudspeakers
It is commonplace in Pakistan for Muslims to accuse Christians of blasphemy either for purely persecution purposes or because of neighbor/work disputes as a means of revenge. Clerics have done the same and now comes word of a heightened level of persecution against Christians: an Islamic call to attack Christians from mosque loudspeakers. The mob […]
Pakistan: Muslim murders his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren — his daughter married a man of her choice
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a […]
Video from Pakistan: Muslims open fire on Christians who try to retake their homes that Muslims seized
The global “human rights community” will take little notice. After all, it isn’t as if something important, such as “Islamophobia,” had been committed. “In Punjab, Christians who tried to retake their homes grabbed by Muslims suffer gunshot wounds (video),” by Kamran Chaudhry, Asia News, May 18, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Lahore (AsiaNews) […]
Pakistan: Police defy court orders, withdraw security for lawyer of Christian woman on death row for blasphemy
This will make it easier for the jihad vigilantes with which the Punjab government is clearly allied to assassinate Malook, and ease the way for Aasia Bibi to be executed. “Aasia Bibi’s lawyer’s life at risk as police withdraws security despite court orders,” Pakistan Today, April 25, 2018: LAHORE: The Punjab government on Wednesday withdrew […]
