Radical Muslim men abduct diminutive Christian girls.


Written by: Jawad Mazhar (ROD)

Muzaffargarh, Pakistan (ROD) July 14th: The Session Judge ordered to produce Saba 13 and Anila 10, two Christian girls to produce in court to testify their abduction on complaint of their poor parents on July 11, 2008, but influential Muslim abductors denied producing them in the court of law because one Muslim member of Punjab Assembly is at their support.

Muslims treat Christians in Pakistan as slaves and not hesitate to kidnap and forcibly convert them to Islam. It is Islamic Republic of Pakistan, a country where Muslims claim to be owner and every one else to be a servant or “Zimmi”.

There are hundreds of such precedents of abduction by Muslims of Christian girls which go un-reported.

Muhammad Arif, Amjad Ali and Muhammad Ashraf abducted Saba 13 and Anila 10 resident of Chak No. 552/TDA Chak Sarwar Shaheed district Muzaffargarh on June 26th, 2008. The minor girls were abducted when they were on their way to their uncle's residence. They allegedly claimed that the girls had converted to Islam and married the alleged abductors.

For past fifteen days the girl's parents and the local Christian community have been running between the local police and the courts, but to no avail. The police refused to take any action or register a case. In the meantime the culprits threatened the family of dire consequences against making complaints and Mr. Ehsan-ul-Haq; the local Muslim legislator is protecting the culprits.

The District Sessions Court in Muzaffargarh ordered production of the abducted girls for their testimony on July 11th. However they were not produced. The court has issued the orders once again for the production of minor abductors for July 12th.

Chairman 'ROD', Mr. Ferhan Mazher condemned the abduction of minor Christian girls and said that police authorities and government officials should take notice of the lamentable episode and rescue the girls from the hard line Islamic elements. He further expressed his apprehensions by saying that we have great reservations that fanatic Muslims might kill minor Christian girls.

Several men torch Christian man’s house for revealing corruption

Shiekhupura, Pakistan, March 28th (ROD): On February 25th 2008 two men recognized as Qurbaan Ali Mangi and Abid Ali, hired 10 unknown men and ransacked and set ablaze the house of a poor Christian sanitary worker Boota Masih to revenge the divulging of their connivance and corrupt activities.

ROD Fact Finding Team (RFFT) has learnt that Boota Masih 35 has been working at GEPCO Poll Plant, Gujranwala as a sanitary worker for last two (02) years. While he was working there, he discovered that Mr Qurbaan Ali Mangi and Abid Ali were involved in malicious, illegal and corrupt activities. And due to their black deeds company had to undergo heavy economical lose. Boota Masih submitted an application to his senior officers regarding the corruption of both the men.

After a departmental enquiry both the men Abid Ali and Qurbaan Ali Mangi were found guilty and dismissed from their positions in the Gujranwala Electric Power Company (GEPCO) by a local court.

Since then the hate and fury to revenge had been simmering up in their hearts secretly. In revenge, about 10 armed men led by Mangi and Ali attacked the Christian family and injured Masih, his wife Sema, his son Adeel and his nephew Akram. The attackers ransacked the entire house and set it on fire. They then warned Masih of worse if he attempted to contact the police. As though destroying Masih's house and belongings was not enough, the gang of armed men forced the family to leave the area, RFFT established.

Boota Masih told RFFT from an undisclosed location through an intermediator, that he tried to register a case against the assailants, but police were initially reluctant of registering a case against the Gujranwala Electric Power Company’s officials. He added that police did register a case against the culprits after the intercession of a local court.

According to other sources (A local Daily) Masih’s wife Sema had been warned via telephone from an anonymous caller that her husband would be murdered. At present poor Christian family is living in hiding at an undisclosed location. Therefore RFFT is not able to obtain further updates regarding this sad and hostile face-off.
