Muslims in Pakistan Murder One More Christian

Another in a long line of horror tales.

One recent horror tale — there are so many — about Muslim murders of Christians in Pakistan should not be overlooked. It is a simple story of an 18-year-old Christian man, Waqas Salamat, who wanted to leave his job at a Muslim-owned factory where he had been receiving slave wages and treated miserably. In response, his Muslim employer, together with his son and several Muslim employees, tortured Salamat to death. More on this horror tale can be found here: “Muslim Employer in Pakistan Tortures Christian Worker to Death,” Morning Star News, June 11, 2024:

A Muslim factory owner in Pakistan on Thursday (June 6) tortured to death an 18-year-old Catholic worker for leaving the job against his wishes, family members said.

Waqas Salamat had started working at the plastic bottle manufacturing factory owned by Haji Muhammad Saleem in Lahore’s Islampura area two months ago. Salamat died when Saleem, his son Umar Saleem and three Muslim workers forcibly took him to the factory and tortured him for hours with electric shocks, the victim’s mother said.

After Waqas Salamat had stopped going to the factory on June 1 because he believed he could find better work, Saleem on June 4 summoned his parents to the factory and pressured them to make him return, said his mother, Rubina Salamat.

“When we told him that he didn’t want to come back, Saleem suddenly accused Waqas of committing a theft worth millions of rupees,” she told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “We told Saleem that our son was not a thief, but Saleem refused to listen. We even asked him to show us any evidence that incriminated Waqas, but nothing was produced before us.”

When Saleem threatened to have Waqas Salamat arrested on a fake theft charge, Rubina Salamat told him that, although her son was innocent, they were willing to compensate Saleem the alleged damages in installments, she said.

She offered to pay the installments by deducting 7,000 rupees (US$25) per month from the salary of another son who worked at the factory, 13-year-old Awais Salamat, in exchange for Saleem releasing Waqas Salamat, she said.

Saleem rejected the offer and insisted that Waqas Salamat must resume work at the factory, and the parents agreed to talk with him.

On Thursday (June 6), Waqas Salamat went to meet a potential employer near Saleem’s factory, and Umar Saleem spotted him.

“He informed his father, and they sent some workers to bring Waqas to the factory,” where they bound his hands and feet, Rubina Salamat said.

“Factory workers Shahzad, Bilal and Shani and the two owners started beating my son mercilessly with plastic pipes and other objects,” she told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “My son Awais was also present in the factory and witnessed the entire episode, but there was nothing he could do to save his elder brother.”

The assailants also gave Waqas Salamat electric shocks, she said.

“The torture was so excruciating that my son collapsed. Seeing the situation, Saleem told my son Awais to clean Waqas’s body with water and then run home and bring us to the factory,” Rubina Salamat said. “As soon as Awais informed me, I ran towards the factory, but my son had succumbed to the torture by that time. There was nothing I could do to save his life.”…

This tale of torture and murder of a Christian by five Muslims in Pakistan is all too common. The refusal of Pakistani Christians to give up their faith, despite such horrific persecution, is inspiring. You can help, by bringing this case of the torture and murder of Waqas Salamat to the attention of your Congressmen, urging them to raise the matter with the Pakistani ambassador in Washington, and making clear that American aid to Pakistan will be cut if the perpetrators of this crime are not adequately punished and the Salamat family not properly compensated for their son’s torture and death.

Killing Christians one at a time is their idea of moderation.

“the Muslim problem.”

Has faded away and is being ignored.

They are not like the other main stream religions.

That’s not to say there are many good Muslims. There are, I know some personally.

But as a religion, their doctrine, history, leaders, the views held by millions (a big share of them) are defined by oppression and violence.

Centuries/Millenia of horror tales continue. Never-ending war. Innocents and civilizations die. Traces of civilizations are in history books. Individuals not so much.

Interestingly enough, the Muslims “messiah” is the Christians antichrist. So when that time comes and the antichrist is revealed, it explains how he will be able to make a peace treaty between Israel and Islam.

Why do we have diplomatic relations with countries like Pakistan?

This is as good a time as any to just kick any and all of them out of the US and send their diplomats home. Turn their embassy into a barbecue joint.

Nothing else works on people like this but force and complete exclusion from civilized society.

I am thinking President Trump's attitude after his near-death experience will not be all fuzzy and mellow, let's get along type stuff.

I hope he cuts to the chase and takes care of problems like Pakistan.

Add to that centuries of inbreeding and you have a perfect storm.

The fate of the failed state of Pakistan:

27JUL2024: Three days ago, in a program on the Afghan news agency Pajhwok, Taliban member Islamullah Muslim openly supported the TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) and advised Pakistan to hand over Pakistan to TTP soon, otherwise, Pakistan will have to hand them over Pakistan after ten years, and by then, Pakistan will have suffered more losses. It is worth noting that Afghan media focuses more on discussing Pakistan's internal affairs, while on the other hand, the Afghan government advises Pakistan to refrain from commenting on Afghanistan's internal affairs.
