LAHORE, PAKISTAN (BosNewsLife)-- The body of a Christian teenager has been hauled out of a canal in Pakistan's second largest city Lahore after he was beaten to death there for courting a Muslim girl, BosNewsLife learned Friday, July 18.
The 19-year-old boy, whose name was changed into Peter for security reasons, was murdered by the girl's father and two uncles in what they described as an 'honour killing', Christian family members and investigators said.
Peter and the 19-year-old girl apparently began their relationship through mobile phone chatting, an increasingly popular way of communicating among youngsters across Asia.
Interfaith contacts and marriages between Christians and Muslims are allowed under Islamic law, but such relationships are often opposed by Islamic clerics and hard-line Muslims, according to religious rights investigators.
The troubles for Peter apparently began when the girl's family forced her to call him and invite the boy to a secluded location. Peter reportedly immediately hired a motorbike to reach the area, but he would not find his girlfriend. Instead, her father and two uncles awaited the boy and allegedly beat him to death.
PETER BY FORCE
"They took Peter by force. They trussed him and tortured him for almost two days. Peter could not bear the severity of the torture and died eventually," said Joseph Francis, who leads rights group Center for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS), which gives legal support to reportedly persecuted Christians in Pakistan. The Muslim family could not be reached for comment.
CLAAS lawyers say police have so far rejected to register the case as murder and are describing it as suicide. "The police were prejudiced, because it was a matter of religion," Francis added. CLAAS made clear it would try to seek justice for Peter's family in a local court.

A gross distortion of the truth. Muslim men are free to acquire non-Muslim women to breed Muslim children for them. Dhimmis are forbidden from ever being with Muslim women.
I had a history professor in college that told us how fast the Muslim faith spread once it was started ...
In those days people had one choice, convert or die; and the “religion” swept over North Africa and into Spain before it ran into enough opposition to quiet it down.
Here we go again, folks ... it’s fight or die time.
Yeah, right. Murder = assisted suicide.
I am thinking that only Vets comprehend what you’re saying and are willing to step up. However, we have a governement that is working against us.
The killers must be killed. We need to get more in their face.
I’m a rock&roll fan, and I’d love to hear/write/play a song that exposes their twisted visions. Maybe something like “Rockin’ with a Muslim Girl.” Or one that in some way reminds listeners of the rolling death camp that is radical Islam. Throw it in their face!
Hmmm, now all the Muslim Pakistanis who work at Newsweek, Time, Cnn , Rueters AP, they would never allow their religious views to influence their coverage on the War on Terror would they?
BULLSH!T
ALL Mooselimbs are opposed to interfaith marriage. Some are just more "assertive" than others enforcing it.
Obama is the overwhelming choice for moslems worldwide. Keep that in mind come Novemeber 4.
“Here we go again, folks ... it’s fight or die time.”
That’s a fact.
You're speaking of our Senators and Congressmen, right? They're the ones that allow this poison to spread......and are perpetuating it...
bttt
I need to send that picture to ALOT of people.
mrs
And still.....there are folks who think we will be able to live side by side with these people...
Religion of Peace alert!
I don’t understand. It is known that the muslins can do what they want in Pakistan, to anyone who is NOT a muslim.
Why aren’t the Christians more careful? I can understand a young guy thinking of his girl and going off to meet her, but did it NOT ever occur to him to play it safe? A secluded location? They both could have been killed if they had been caught. And the story of the two young girls that were raped and “converted.” Why was a 12 year old and a 10 year old going to an uncles house alone in a muslim city? It would be obvious that they WEREN’T committed muslims with no male with them. Maybe there is something I don’t understand. But the Christian community knows that they are targets and the police will do nothing to help them.
We are to live for Christ, but I don’t see where it is required to be unaware.
The religion of peace strikes again. It’s a wonder they didn’t kill the daughter, too. Probably just cut off her clitoris...
police have so far rejected to register the case as murder and are describing it as suicide
The sick b@stards enjoyed themselves and the government is condoning the act.
Two things predated the extreme and vicious violence in the Muslim south of Thailand. The first was the building of mosques and schools funded by the Saudis. The second was the practice among religious families of sending their sons to study in Pakistan. This article illustrates what they were studying. Now, I read that American Muslims are sending their sons to Pakistan. It is commonly known that American Mosques are funded by the Saudis.
