PESHAWAR: Asghar Maseeh Bhatti, who along with his wife and three children embraced Islam recently, has appealed to the authorities to protect him from the injustices of his elders and rivals.
Talking to reporters outside the Peshawar Press Club on Friday, Asghar Maseeh, now Sheikh Abdur Rehman, showed signs of torture on his body, saying that his elders had not only expelled him from service but also tortured him for embracing Islam.
Sheikh Abdur Rehman, who has done his FSc, said he decided to embrace Islam after listening to speeches of Maulana Tariq Jamil and Dr Zakir Naik. His wife, whose new name is Bibi Zainab, also agreed but now her parents and elders of the community were creating hurdles for them by dragging them in the court of law.
“Bibi Zainab also recorded her statement in the court that she was willing to live with me,” he said, adding that their elder daughter Amisha Asghar Bhatti had been named as Bibi Fatima and younger Adisha Bhatti as Bibi Ayesha, while his son Aashar Maseeh was now Abdullah.
He appealed to the chief justice to protect him from the injustices of his elders, including Robert Aiqeul and Robert Paul, who, he alleged, had taken him into their headquarters in Islamabad and tortured him. He said the minorities enjoyed equal rights in the country but they were not ready to accept his decision of embracing Islam.

Good Article
ReplyDeleteWith the name of Allah....
ReplyDeleteyou could actually hear a pin drop.

LOL the desperation, its possible, this happened but I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteA couple of things that make me doubt this story.
1. He gives the story at a press club. That tells me this is planned and staged.
2. This quote puts it over the top
"showed signs of torture on his body, saying that his elders had not only expelled him from service but also tortured him for embracing Islam."
My money is on tortured to embrace Islam.
But either way even if it is true, I gurontee you I can find 10 more stories just like that except involving Muslims kidnapping Christians torturing and raping them to force them to join Islam.
"Fight the Coptics"
ReplyDeleteMost of you probably don't know what I'm talking about but its big news down here (Mid-East).
Christian women who converted to Islam are being held in Churches and forced to go back to Christianity, one of these died. Wafaa Qonstanteen Rahimahullah, she escaped to Cairo but the Christians put pressure on the police. The police inturn went to Cairo arrested and drugged her, and brought her back to her village (she was married to a high priest). The Christians held her in the Church claiming that they were only talking to her, thats why the Church had double security!? Untill now I think they're still saying she's alive but never left the church and embraced Christianity again, most reports says she's dead due to torture. She's not the only one but a lot of these sisters are still in these prisons or churches as they call it.
Christian terrorism comprises terrorist acts by groups or individuals who claim Christian motivations or goals for their actions. As with other forms of religious terrorism, Christian terrorists have relied on idiosyncratic or literalistic interpretations of the tenets of faith—in this case, the Bible. Such groups have used Old Testament and New Testament scriptures to justify violence or to seek to bring about the "end times" described in the New Testament,[1] while others have hoped to bring about a Christian theocracy.[2][3]
ReplyDeleteradical, yes its true the same happens to christians but this only shows the backward CULTURE of pakistan.
ReplyDeleteNtice also how radical doesn't even condemn this but see's this funny. is it holy spirit awareness week already?

ReplyDelete@Ali
ReplyDeleteYou are right I forgot to condem this.
I strongly condemn with extreme prejudice Muslims lying and saying that Christians are persecuting them for embracing Islam. I also condemn with extreme prejudice Muslims persecuting Christians, just for being Christians and especially persecuting those Christians who left Islam.
Thanks for reminding me.
yet again, radical takes everything as a joke. wont be long till she thinks the same about her bible.
ReplyDeletehowever hopefully this would shed some further light on ex christians.

Dearborn Police Bar Christian Group from Public Street Near Mosque
ReplyDeleteA few hours before Dearborn's Arab Festival began last week, Pastor Terry Jones was preparing to give a speech at City Hall. Police were there in full force to protect Pastor Jones. The police presence might easily give the impression that Dearborn respects the U.S. Constitution. But alas, appearances can be deceiving.
Dearborn Police were protecting Terry Jones for one simple reason: more than a dozen cameras, including many news cameras, were pointing at Terry Jones. Dearborn Police had no concern for protecting First Amendment rights. They were there to protect the reputation of Dearborn.
How do I know? Well, just as Pastor Jones was preparing for his speech, a few peaceful Christian evangelists were preparing to distribute DVDs, pamphlets, and copies of the Gospel to Muslims near the largest mosque in North America. Without a dozen cameras recording, Dearborn Police showed far less concern for the U.S. Constitution.
Ali, was that a threat to Radical Moderate on your 4th post?
