“If you don’t stop searching for your daughter, we’ll rip pages out of Qur’an and accuse you of profaning the book”

A glimpse into the reality behind many of the blasphemy cases in Pakistan.
“Pakistan: ‘Saving one Christian girl suffering persecution will help others,'” by Francesca Merlo, Herald Malaysia, December 24, 2019:
38 year-old Catholic lawyer, Tabassum Yousaf, considers assisting persecuted Christians her mission, and a service to God and her Church. This is why she has not allowed the threats she has received to “stop her”, as she defends Huma Younus’ parents in their battle to get their daughter back.
Huma’s story
Huma is a 14-year-old Christian girl from Zia Colony in Karachi, Pakistan. On the 10th of October, whilst her parents were out, she was abducted from her home and forced to convert and marry a Muslim man.
Though her parents received Huma’s conversion papers and marriage certificate – to a man named Abdul Jabar – the family are sure the papers are fake, due also to them being dated to the very same day the young girl went missing.
Recently, Huma’s abductor has threatened both her parents and their lawyer, Tabassum Yousaf, that he would accuse them of blasphemy. The High Court of Sindh lawyer has worked on many cases of forced marriage, and speaking with Aid to the Church in Need, she says that these threats are common. She explains that the abductors often say, “If you do not stop searching for your daughter, we will rip pages out of the Koran, place them on your doorstep, and accuse you of profaning the sacred book”.
Abduction in Pakistan
Abducting for the purpose of forced conversion and marriage is a major issue in Pakistan. Most of the victims are Christian or Hindu girls and young women – both religious minorities in the country – who are forced to wed against their will to much older Muslim men.
Of the 159 cases reported between 2013 and 2019, some 16 girls and young women have gone before the Sindh High Court asking for support against their forced marriages.
Tabassum Yousaf explains:
“Many Christians do not know that they have the same rights as Muslims. The poverty and lack of education of our brothers and sisters in faith allows Islamic fundamentalists to abuse their social, political, economic and religious powers to persecute Christians. And the judiciary is under strong pressure from political parties, which do not provide minorities with the right legal support”.
Can’t you just feel the vibrancy!
Their "holy book" actually means nothing to them.
Reminds me of proglib "values."
"Less Than Zero."
.
Crazy Muslims worship their Quran as much as they do their false prophet. Insulting or even honestly critiquing either one will cause them to go into a feral rage.
Where is the A-Team?
Do it to them first.
They worship it so much they can rip pages out of it to accuse others of profaning it.
Pope Francis would call her parents rigid and ignorant for misunderstanding that beautiful religion of pieces.
Cultural enrichment
record them and share it with there Iman and other neighbors. This is an explosive situation so what would happen is unpredictable if you did this.
Everything that has anything to do with muslims is an explosive situation.
No scientists or mathematicians out of this group.
agreed.
Hey c’mon...don’t judge some old disgusting man wanting to get it on with a 14 year old teenager....doesnt the world understand this man are just trying to make his god so proud of him, just like all the beheaders are?
Mobs of crazy Muslims have killed people just because of a rumor that they desecrated a Quran somehow. So yes, they’ve deified the book itself, no less than their false prophet is a god to them. To worship them, however, means committing violence and human sacrifice. It was the price Mohammed himself always demanded.
I have noticed that.
more war on boys and men........
Hope she has guns and practices with them. Until she can’t get it wrong.
Letting even one of these bearded savages into this country is the biggest mistake ever.
