Muslims forced Pakistani Christians to convert
An Islamist cleric presided over the forced conversion of two Christians in Sialkot District, Pakistan after they were tortured into reciting the Islamic conversion creed, reports Morning Star News.
On January 22nd, Azam Masih, 28, and his brother, Nadeem Masih, were abducted, beaten with iron rods, and pressured to convert to Islam. Azam was working at his tailoring shop in the Kharota Syedan market when Naseem Shah and accomplices held him at gunpoint and forcibly took him to the house of another suspect, Sunny Shah.
The Muslims tortured them and forced the two Christians to recite the Kalima [the proclamation of Islamic conversion] if they wanted to save their lives, threatening to kill them if they refused.
The brothers and their impoverished Christian family chose to keep silent about the ordeal, as the suspects had warned them against contacting police.
Adil Ghauri of the Movement for Christian Awakening said, “We came to know about this incident on January 24 and immediately contacted the family. After much persuasion, we were able to convince the family to file a First Information Report with the police, as keeping silent would have only encouraged the perpetrators to target more Christians living in the village.”
Thankfully, the police arrested a Muslim cleric alleged to have conducted the conversion and registered charges against the suspects of kidnapping, punishable by death or life imprisonment.
