Pakistani Christian woman shot dead after refusing marriage to Muslim suitor
Barnabas Fund ^ | December 2020 | From Barnabas Fund contacts and other sources

A Christian maid was shot dead, reportedly by her Muslim suitor, on 30 November after refusing to convert to Islam in order to marry him.

Sonia Bibi, 24, was shot in the head in a street in Rawalpindi, Punjab province, and died on her way to hospital.

Her father, Allah Rakha Masih, a sanitary worker, said his daughter was murdered for refusing the marriage proposal of her Muslim suitor, Shehzad, who had been following her for the past five months along with his friend, Faizan. After being refused, Shehzad threatened to kill Sonia, said her father.

It is unusual for a Muslim man in Pakistan to send a formal proposal to marry a Christian woman. However, Shehzad followed Pakistani tradition and asked his mother to visit Sonia’s parents to suggest that a marriage be arranged, but Sonia’s family declined the marriage offer. “They were Muslims and we are Christians. That’s the reason I refused,” said Allah Rakha Masih.

Futhermore, in line with sharia (Islamic law), if a Christian woman marries a Muslim man in Pakistan she must convert to Islam. Sonia’s father added, “We are Christians from generations, and Sonia was a true Christian and strong in her faith and she has been killed for following her Christian faith.”

Sonia was the eldest of six siblings. Her mother, Teressa, who had to give up her job as a maid two years ago after she was injured in an accident, said her daughter worked hard to support the family.

At the time of writing, Faizan had been arrested but Shehzad is still at large.

In 2018, a 25-year-old Christian woman from Punjab province was set ablaze after refusing to renounce her faith and marry a Muslim man.

Martyred for her faith.

May the Lord console her loved ones, and protect Christians everywhere from the Satanic muzzie hordes.

At least she’s in the loving arms of the Lord right at this very minute.

Never to be harmed again. Ever.

Though it’s awful what happened to her on Earth. I don’t want to minimize the Muslim violence. Only to say, they’ll never harm her again.

In our country, such a murder would warrant life in prison. That anyone can get away with such a crime shows how far these Muslim countries have drifted away from justice and civilized society. That they justify murder is savagery.

Chip ‘em, ship ‘em home, they show up back here again, exterminate ‘em with extreme prejudice. It’s the only way. Sick of them!

Sadly, Sonia Bibi is only one of thousands of Christians murdered each year for their faith.

Some sources tell us the numbers of Christian martyrs is down by about half since the previous decade, but it's a matter of definitions.
Those with the strictest definitions of "martyrs" show no recent reductions in numbers.

On average 105 Christian churches are attacked, burned or vandalized each month, world wide.
Every day 11 Christians are killed for their faith.

There are many different oppressors, but Muslims are by far the majority.

Islam is a cancer, an abomination to God.

There are no “good” muslims.

So-called “good” muslims, aren’t really muslims at all. They don’t follow their religious leaders, their religious teachings, or their religious scriptures.

They are DUPES! BLIND DUPES! Just read your own “holy” books.

Their religion wasn’t “hijacked”. It is exactly as it was intended by the example of its founder Mohammed (Muhammad, Mohammed, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohamed, Mohamad, Muhamad, Muhamed, Mohamud, Mohummad, Mohummed, Mouhamed, Mohammod and Mouhamad).

NO ONE has ever seen or heard Allah EXCEPT Mohammed. How convenient.

EVERYTHING you need to know about Islam can be found here.

His entire book for FREE! online.

ALL so-called muslims should read this book or at least skim this website to become informed about their FAKE religion.

Oh, by the way, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists,” (George W Bush)
