Two Christian girls raped in Punjab, Pakistan

Two Christian girls in Pakistan’s Punjab province were brutally raped in recent weeks. On July 22, a group of madrassa (Islamic school) students gang-raped a 12-year-old Christian girl in Gujar Khan, Rawalpindi district. A teacher who reportedly witnessed the rape stated:

“Three or four Christian girls were washing dishes near a pond…. These guys ran towards them, and the girls started running. One of them fell on the ground, and these madrassa students got hold of her and took her in the fields. I tried to stop them, but they were 15-16 in number.” Seven or eight of the boys reportedly then raped the girl while the others looked on. Before the attack began, the teacher overheard one of the students say, “We will teach these Christians a lesson they will never forget.” The Christian girl, whose name has been withheld, was left in the field until some villagers eventually took her home to her family. The girl’s father and the teacher have attempted to file a complaint but the officer in charge has refused to comply. Another officer has since admitted that they are under pressure from Muslim leaders and extremists to refrain from filing a report. The madrassa students had reportedly been harassing believers in the surrounding villages, beating and threatening Christian children to convert to Islam or leave the area.

A 16-year-old Christian girl, whose name has also been withheld, was raped by three men on July 21 in Farooqabad. The three men, who work for the same Muslim employer as her father, overpowered her while she was at home. They then raped her while threatening that they would shoot her in the forehead if she screamed for help. The next morning, the girl’s father, Ghafoor Masih, went to the police station to file a report but the Station House Officer Inspector refused his requests. However, due to pressure from a superior officer, the Inspector finally registered the complaint on July 29. While Ghafoor was on his way home from filing the report, two other Muslims who work for his employer reportedly intercepted and kidnapped him. The men took Ghafoor to their employer’s home where they and another employee shackled and tortured him, leaving him in critical condition. At last report, several of the perpetrators had been arrested. “Muslim landowners and their relatives see Christian girls or women as their chattel,” the national director of the Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement said. “Such vicious incidents are not being stopped by the government, and day by day the rate of rapes of Christian girls is escalating instead of plunging.” (Source: Compass Direct)

Pray that the Lord will heal the physical, emotional and spiritual wounds of these two girls. Pray that their families will be a source of compassion and strength. Pray that those who perpetrated these violent attacks will repent and turn to the Lord for forgiveness. Pray that attacks on young Christian girls in Pakistan will stop.

Seriously, reading this made me sick.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

We know that this kind of thing happens in that part of the world. Shocking, sickening - absolutely.

Yet what exactly is the purpose of posting a thread about it? The last half dozen or so topics that JAS has started involve Islam and muslims. Why is that?

Seems as though youve came to your own conclusions.

Maybe this part of the story he would like you to focus on.

Another officer has since admitted that they are under pressure from Muslim leaders and extremists to refrain from filing a report.

As I stated in another thread there are Bad people and good people in the islamic world; the good possibly the teacher and maybe the policeman the bad the rapists and those pressuring the policemen. The Policeman because he caves to the pressure and others allowing it to happen are no better than the rapists.

Bad things happen to good people in bad parts of the world. It is reality - we all know this.

Why then are we being greeted with thread after thread about muslims and Islam?

Gloss over what? I accept that it's a horrible story - I just don't believe that this was posted with the intent of informing (any) debate - and if you look at the topics JAS has posted recently, you will see that they form a very distinct pattern.

What pattern? someone that doesn't spend much time here would not see a pattern. Aj has posted more about the Mosque and you dont seem to have a problem with that. I see a pattern also.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

What pattern? A pattern of posting behaviour that expresses prejudiced opinions about Islam and the muslim world.

I dont see prejudice, I see free speech.

Free speech to expressed prejudice about muslims on a site with an international audience from many countries and cultures. I'm surprised it's tolerated really.

[Fandango 1,440]

Reporting facts does not equal expressing prejudice.

Need more cotton wool?

If someone posts thread after thread and post after post denigrating muslims and Islam, what would you call it?

The denigration of a child rapist is bad? Who cares if they happen to be muslim unless of course thats all that your thinking about.
