Saturday, October 7, 2006 Militants kill two children of a missionary couple in Pakistan

By Sheraz Khurram Khan Special Correspondent for ASSIST News Service in Pakistan http://www.assistnews.net/Stories/s06100040.htm

MUZAFFARABAD, PAKISTAN (ANS) -- In an horrific incident of Christian persecution on September 1, some unidentified militants slew two children of a missionary couple who is working with At Any Cost Jesus Mission, a underground ministry evangelizing to the Muslim nations.

A press release sent via e-mail to ANS by Any Cost Jesus Mission said that the assailants torched the dead bodies of teenaged children Shalom, 15 and Sharon 14 after murdering them brutally in the northern district of Pakistan. The teenaged victims according to the press release were secondary school students.

“Shalom and Sharon were kidnapped along with their missionary parents and two other younger sisters 10 days before the murder. The militants asked them to convert to Islam but they refused,” said the press release.

“So the militants killed Shalom first. Then they raped the girl and cut one of her breasts in front of her parents. She too died”, the press release quoted another underground missionary, Habel who it said broke the news to Any Cost Jesus Mission from a hidden place.

Police and the military forces are backing the militants. Habel and his family was also attacked and their house was burnt but the Lord enabled them to escape to a hidden place. They (militants) also demolished a church and some houses were set on fire too”, the evangelization ministry claimed in the press release.

According to the press release the militants set the motorbike on fire by spraying petrol on it and left the dead bodies in a ditch along with a motorbike.

“The police declared a false statement that it was an accident and the petrol tank of the bike was open when they fell into the ditch and burnt by a spark”, alleged Any Cost Jesus Mission.

The press release said that the believers are living in a grip of fear and trouble following the killing of Shalom and Sharon.

The ministry further claimed in the press release that the militants are not allowing believers to pray.

“They are not even allowed to speak a single word about Christ or Christianity or Christians”, the press release quoted Habel as saying.

The tribal people and their leaders are also being murdered by the terrorists in the Neelum Valley, it said.

In fact, God told me to stay the hell away from any nation where the followers of the pedophile prophet predominate.

Interesting - I haven't been given that specific instruction. However, I have NOT been specifically instructed to go, so I have no plans to do so.

God still loves them, and wants to see them redeemed.

I don't. Not when they commit such atrocities in the name of Islam, not when they kill, rape, behead and torture innocent people in the name of Islam. I have no love for people like that. But then again, I'm not God.

sure starting to sound like "end times" stuff to me lately.

those kids have a special place in heaven waiting for them. the bible tells us that we will be made to turn against god and christ. those who don't will be killed.

Yes, and one more thing should be noted: In Revelation, it mentions the martyrs...those who were BEHEADED

What other end-time system beheads people? One reading of Revelation leads me to believe that Islam's influence doesn't shrink, but grows at the End Times.

As a Christian I believe strongly in missionary work in foreign lands. Were I part of a mission to the ME, I would have no qualms about going. I would not however, be dumb enough to trust that the animals that some refer to as muslim extremists would be civilized enough to not murder my children. Taking them on this mission was tantamount to idiocy.

"The police declared a false statement that it was an accident..."

That's Pakistani police - representing the government of a supposed US ally in the WOT. The Paki government must be told by the Americans that coverups like this are not acceptable!

These bastards aren't just happy killing, torturing, and beheading people - but rape is their strongest accomplishment. Why would anyone try to convert these savages? I would bomb them all.

Put on your multicultural hat, their belief system is just a bit different than ours, that's all.

For those who try to convert them, I've nothing but respect, but in a sense I agree, perhaps do your work where the reprecussions aren't as dire.

Islam is by definition the most peaceful set of beliefs in the entire world. Story must surely be a hoax.

I never ever write anything sarcastic.

This happens 400 times a day to Christians. Primarily in Muslim Countries.

The difference between Islam and Christ is that Christ only asks you to follow him and make him your Lord & Savior, while Islam threatens your life.

Thanks - that's what I was thinking too. How bad an idea is it to put children in that situation?

Scripturally speaking, when God called someone to go into a dangerous place, He generally expected the individual to take his children along. Therefore, it would seem to me that, in God's eyes, these missionaries were taking care of their children.

Scripturally speaking, it's okay to sell your daughter into slavery. That too is fine with you?

Islam claims to be more than a religion ~ it's a combination of culture, religion, and government.

Seems to me a simple question concerning "violent overthrow of the government" would be sufficient to exclude ALL Moslems from the United States.

Alternatively the Moslems could come up with a Reformed Islam that repudiated every element that affected government, including the prerogative of a Moslem to kill an infidel who refuses to join Islam.

Fur Shur, no Moslem in the US would ever be able to visit an Islamic country without threat of death by the locals, but that's a bridge I'm willing to cross.

We'd have a good reason to kick them out of the UN too.

You're being a little harsh here. The only place more dangerous than Pakistan for Christian missionaries would have been Afghanistan when the Taliban were in charge.

I'm a Christian, and our church supports a number of missions. But I think it's irresponsible to put your own children in such a dangerous predicament.

"Islam has shown itself to be completely closed to conversion over the centuries"

***

Nope, easily not true. Muslims come to Jesus as their savior everyday all over the world.

What about the other Christians families living all over the world in other muslim countries? Should they just automatically leave the country they grew up in also because of the risk of beheading? Are they also negligent in their own murder because they don't flee?

Maybe all non-muslims families who don't down the road wish to convert to islam in Europe should just flee Europe now also?

This logic would also mean that the Jewish people should just automatically leave Israel and if they do not leave and are harmed, it is their own fault, not the terrorist's fault.

Regardless, I think we are hold the line, and whether we go down of not, we are to go down fighting (holding the line).

It's sickening what those demonic Koranimals do. I'm so glad that Islam is a "religion of peace." < / sarcasm >

Is there anything in your world worth dying for?

What is so important in your world that you would risk the safety of your two children?
