Pakistan: Christian girls kidnapped, forced to marry, convert to Islam
Catholic Culture ^ | 30 May 2011 | CC

Posted on 05/31/2011 3:12:17 AM PDT by Cronos

Two Christian girls--Rebecca Masih and Saima Masih--were forced to marry and convert to Islam after they were kidnapped by a wealthy businessman on May 24. The kidnapping took place in the northeastern Pakistani province of Punjab.

“Kidnapping Christian girls, conversion and forced marriages have become common practice in Punjab,” said Haroon Barkat Masih, director of the Masihi Foundation, a Pakistani organization that offers legal aid to persecuted Christians. “Kidnapping Christian girls, conversion and forced marriages have become common practice in Punjab. The police have been bought; instead of serving the Punjab government they are servants of extremist groups. Punjab is becoming heaven for these groups: Muslim leaders openly call for violence in their sermons, without shame.”

“We have repeatedly appealed to the Punjab government, without receiving an answer. The government supports these groups.”

It's not really about changing the culture right now...it's about keeping India from being turned to a glass parking lot by fanatics.

And what does the world get in return?...long distance phone receptionists that you can't understand. What a deal huh?

It’s not just India at threat. Those nukes can easily fall into the hands of jihadis/AlQ and be used anywhere in the world from San Fran to Maine and between.

I’d be more than willing to donate money to former Special Forces soldiers who wanted to go into business liberating these girls. I think a lot of American Christians would.

Democracy is lost on Muslims, and Pakistan is a prime example. The Muslim religion is a straightjacket that allows for no civil or human rights other than those the Muslim Umma finds in the Kuran. Islam and Christianity can never co-exist when Islam dominates. And Islam will never live peacefully when Christianity dominates.

I dont think it should be America's worry to keep India from being nuked. India is more then capable of defending her own. All America needs to do is stop the military aid and weapon sale to Pakistan.

That sounds like life imprisonment here.
