It is a harrowing tale of rape and murder of a minor girl just because of her religion. The victim was a Christian. The minority Christians face such cruelties as a matter of routine in the world's second largest Muslim country, Pakistan.

Shazia was working as a Domestic Worker in bungalow number AA 444 Defense Lahore with Muhammad Naeem Lawyer of Lahore High Court Lahore. He never paid a single penny to Shazia from last 8 months. On 21st of January 2010. Shazia’s Mother received a dead body of her younger girl 12 year and was shocked then she called some people from her neighbor and they contact Mr. Khalid Shahzad, General Secretary, Forum of Minorities.

The world must act to discipline Pakistan.

This is barbaric. There should be rules to ensure countries adhere to international standards. The cases of Troy Anthony Davis, or Mohammah Jabia Jamal in the USA spring to mind

Our $ aid to Pakistan is our real power. Sad and pitiful story that fills my heart with tears.

Well, we're not likely to read about this form of persecution of nonMuslims in the mainstream media.

You should consider subscribing/donating to Equality Now, they have a monthly newsletter, Brazilian females are routinely kidnapped and raped. Some evidence of government/mob involvement

The muslim countries seem to believe that this is acceptable behaviour.

Can anyone recall the last time a muslim was successfully prosecuted for a rape of a Christian in an Islamic country?

Rapists have no religion.

In Mahmoudiya Four American soldiers raped and murdered a 14 year old girl and killed all her relatives including her young sister. One medic described the crime seen as the following: "The medic, who was not named, said that when he entered the house in Mahmudiya in March, he found 14-year-old Abeer Qasim Hamza Al-Janabi naked with her legs spread and burned from the waist up, with a single bullet wound beneath her left eye." He also told that he had found her six-year-old sister in an adjacent room with the back of her head blown out, and the bodies of both parents riddled with bullets. Apparently the soldiers raped the teenager and killed her, and tried to burn the bodies and house to conceal evidence of the crime. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-07/10/content_4813168.htm

I do not know whether the rape of a 14 year Muslim girl by the occupying American Soldiers is considered a crime by yr standard, but now to suggest that this girl was raped and later burnt because she was a Muslim would be outrageous to u!!

Look, rapists have no religion these scoundrels are everywhere, they can be Christians (who keep their daughter underground and rape them over a period of time) http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw-act/australias-own-josef-fritzl-horror/story-e6freuzi-1225775351433, they can be pedophiles (like the priests in the church) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8473858.stm. They r not religious, they are basically devils!

Do not forget the news where, serbs and Lebanese Phalangists set off to massacre and rape their Muslim enemies over the past three decades with pictures of the Virgin Mary on their rifle butts! It is preposterous to suggest that this had anything to do with Christianity! Muslims are killed in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan on a regular basis as an aftermath of America’s invasion in those countries. Make a google search and there are thousands of massacre in which Muslim civilians were killed. The Haditha massacre in Iraq http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/iraq/haditha.html, wedding massacres (how many mishaps were there?) http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jul/11/afghanistan.usa

I liked the description of this person  http://outlawvern.com/2002/07/11/the-afghanistan-wedding-massacre-yoda-digital-projection-samurai-jack/. He wanted us to imagine a different scenario:

So it’s the 4th of July, there are some celebrations going on, and then all the sudden Pakistani planes drop bombs on a couple american suburbs. The attack lasts 2 hours, kills 40 americans in their homes, injures over 100. One of the victims was a war hero, 25 from the same family, leaving a groom behind alone on his wedding night, etc. Whoops, there must’ve been an errant bomb. The FBI witnesses may have given them faulty intelligence, we can’t really say until we hear the facts. We will put together a commission of Pakistanis to figure out for sure if there was a mistake here or not.

Can you IMAGINE how we would react? Picture the tv coverage, the backgrounds on each of the victims, the slo-mo montages of pictures of them in happier times, the tear-filled interviews with their surviving relatives (for those that have any). Picture the endless memorials, the God Bless Americas and the Amazing Graces, the increased interest in bagpipes.

Picture the outrage when it hits the news that the Pakistanis stormed into homes and tied people up so they couldn’t help the injured, causing people with broken limbs to bleed to death. And that they were videotaping and photographing all the women around who were naked because their clothese had been burned off by the bombs.

 Do you think the Pakistanis would get away with saying, “We have no reason to apologize. We heard gun shots”?

Those were firecrackers! It was the 4th of July!

“The sound was not consistent with firecrackers.” And then they start implying that all the outraged suburbanite survivors you heard on the news were actually anarchists from Eugene, Oregon exaggerating to discredit the government’s search for the anthrax killer. “Plus, there could’ve been terrorists in that suburb!”

I mean any reasonable human being knows that this shit has to stop. Because this isn’t even the first time it’s happened – it’s at least the third wedding mishap, and also the third massacre of civilians just in that one province!

A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that 655,000 more people have died in an illegal Iraqi war http://my.nowpublic.com/world/iraq-war-was-illegal-top-lawyer-will-tell-chilcot-inquiry since coalition forces arrived in March 2003 than would have died if the invasion had not occurred. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/10/AR2006101001442.html

One single such incident in Pakistan and now we want to wage a way against Pakistan, propaganda in media really shapes our mind. We do not seem to notice that numerous Christians were killed in India (however nobody suggested India should be taught some lesson after it was published). http://www.bosnewslife.com/11021-breaking-news-survivors-of-indias-communal-violence-ordered-to-evacuate-by-government

Thanks for NOT answering the question!

BTW, some of us are very aware of the persecution and murder of Christians in India.

Let me make it easy for u as it seems u only understand the language of yr kind. U wanted to know "When was the last time a muslim was successfully prosecuted for a rape of a Christian in an Islamic country"?

My question is in how many cases the abuses were not prosecuted, do u ve the number and the links? U r taking conclusion using only "one example." Why u think a rape of a Christian minority would be treated any differently than others as Muslim countries have one of the most severe punishment for such crimes.

Also in my last post I ve pointed out the injustice and crimes by Christians in Muslim countries and wanted to address that those atrocities were not a linked to religion. Rapists have no religion. America has one of the worst rape crime rate (about one in six women are raped in this country). To suggest that a rapists rapes a child because of his/her religion would be ridiculous. For example Polanski did not rape the 13 year old because she is a Christian. I hope that u understand my point.

1.5 Billion Muslims half of them male, and half of those adults = 375, 000 how many rapes Hugh ? Men who rape in Muslim countrys often get their Penis cut off, and yet we still manage to have the highest birth rates in the world !

Hugh Askew

No, i don't need your spiel, i was asking for details as to when the muslim man that raped a Christian girl was prosecuted, if in fact the prosecution actually took place.

alexander71

Again, my question is in how many cases the abuses were not prosecuted, do u ve the number and the links? U r trying to give us a conclusion based on only this case.

Are there any such cases?

Hugh Askew

Tell you what, alexander71, when you answer my question, I'll answer yours.

Until then, it is apparent that you are simply avoiding the question.  You seem to have answers to all the questions except the one that got asked. Any reason for that?

alexander71

Im sure other readers in NP have understood that yr motive is to create a propaganda against the Muslims using this ONE example!

There are no valid research or findings that Christian abuse cases are treated any differently in Muslim countries.

Ive answered yr question, go figure!

Hugh Askew

So when was a muslim last prosecuted for raping a Christian, and in what Islamic country?

You never did answer the question.

As far as creating propaganda, you do a fine job by not answering the question. It makes it apparent  to everyone that you can't answer it. Thanks for painting a very clear picture for us!

Right after you show statistics for prosecutions for Christians raping Muslim Women in Christian countrys. Do you think alexander is an oracle or something? A few research pointers please !

0
Hugh Askew

I didn't ask for statistics, just some article, some proof, that Islamic countries have actually - at some time, somewhere - prosecuted a muslim for raping a Christian.

Here - my original question - that you still haven't answered.

Can anyone recall the last time a muslim was successfully prosecuted for a rape of a Christian in an Islamic country?

0
alexander71

Aside from this case I do not know any other cases where a Muslim man has raped any christian woman in an Islamic country. Ive searched google and I do not find any credible links to that as well.

Hence, my advice to u that u give me some examples where the Muslim men have not been prosecuted because u r the first one to blame all Muslim countries that they follow racial profile in prosecuting people.

What do you mean that rapists have no religion? A pedophile rapist is the founder of Islam. And why should there be rape at all in Islamic countries when the marriage allows four wives, a form of institutionalized rape of women. (Not counting the virgins these outofcontrol males look forward to for murdering nonMuslims.)

Hell o, it is a sin to lie. Should that comment be removed NP ?

alexander71

Coward! U r hiding behind the veil to write this message!!

Now, can u answer the pedophiles in the church? Answer the rising teen rape, incest in America? No, just blame the Muslims for everything so that u can create a point that nuking them is validated and justified.
