Many young Christian women in Pakistan are forced to convert to Islam after being kidnapped or raped by Muslim Extremist Mullahs with whom they must marry against their will Al Ufaq has learnt. This barbaric trend is being reported by a few NGOs but is being criminally ignored by the state sponsored Electronic and Print Media. In a country where the rights of ethnic and religious minorities are already jeopardized by the nexus of the state and the Mullah cult, this heinous crime against humanity is swept under the carpet even by enthusiastic human rights activists.
The case of Asia Bibi, a Catholic lady sentenced to death for blasphemy, and murder of Governor Taseer that defended exponents had drawn back the veil on the rising religious fundamentalism in the country in recent months. This murder was hailed and praised by the Mullah cult and since then their aggressive mode of threatening and targeting religious minorities has become the order of the day.
A few days back an alarming report by the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) revealed another disturbing aspect of the some forced conversions. At least 700 women each year are raped or kidnapped by the Mullah Cult in order to force them to abandon their faith.
It is a sort of “ethno-religious cleansing” that under the nose of the police and local courts, which prefer to close an eye to abuses, especially when powerful people are involved.
“It seems today that no one from the police to the judiciary or even the government has the courage to oppose the fundamentalist threats,” said the report released by the NGO, which deals with human rights in Asia from its headquarters in Hong Kong. The complaint is shared by other groups that are often afraid to make their voices heard. Christians in particular are treated as “untouchables” in Pakistan, where most of them in the Punjab province work as janitors and cleaners. The complaint also contains a long list of abuses in recent months.
Among them is a Christian girl raped 13 years last August by the owner of a brick kiln in Punjab, which employs mostly Christians.
The perpetrator, Muhammad Amin, entered the house of the girl-child of an employee, while their parents were working and raped her. He then forced to put their fingerprints on a marriage certificate, to avoid any complaints. Such cases are on the rise and if the victims become pregnant they are forced into marriage by Muslim rites and change his Christian name.
In case the victim opposes, attempts on her life are made, as happened last October to Zubaida Bibi, a maid at the factory of a Muslim. As the newspaper account Pakistan Christian Post, she was abused and later was beheaded as she tried to resist the attempt.
Hindus not an exception
The tiny Hindu minority also lives in constant fear of assault and is no exception to the brutal and inhumane jungle law being followed by the Mullahs. The life of minorities is becoming more miserable, forced conversions are the order of the day told a Human Rights activist belonging to the Hindu faith, especially in the province of Sindh, where a religious leader recently claimed to have converted 40,000 Hindu girls to Islam.
Pakistan is a country with a majority Muslim population, who live with minority Christians, Hindus and Buddhists in the country. A few Sikhs, Jews, Bhais and Jains also form this tiny fringe of the minority.
