A 16-year-old boy, Asif Stephen, was on route to his local Pakistani shop to buy cigarettes, when he was savagely attacked by a Muslim man, Muhammed Nawaz.
A mob of Muslims quickly gathered and joined in the beating.
And as the beatings intensified, word spread — based on false statements from Nawaz — that Stephen had burned a Koran.

Stephen managed to escape. But his ordeal had just started.
Read on, from the British Pakistani Christian Association:
A fourth Christian teenager has been arrested under the draconian blasphemy laws of Pakistan for allegedly burining a Quran. The incident mirrors the case of Rimsha Masih a young child with a mental impairment who in in 2012 was similarly accused of burning a Quran, though later in her case police established the Quran was burnt by a local imam desiring to implicate the Christian child.
Asif Stephen (16 years) travelled to his local bazaar on 12th August to buy some cigarettes when he was accosted by a Muslim man named Muhammed Nawaz. Aisf was accused of stealing fom a donation box placed on the tomb of a sufi saint and Mr Nawaz started to beat him and shouted out to others causing a mob to gather. As the mob stated beating Asif Mr Nawaz called Imam Qari Rana Rashid Razvi (a Qari reads a Quran in a mosque with correct melody) and told him that a Christian teenager had burnt the Quran.
Qari Rana is a former representative of the local district council and a khown fundamentalist who often preaches hatred towards minorities, he arrived at the scene within minutes and began to beat Asif publically even as the whimpering, frightened teenager begged for him to stop. Fortunately another Christin man called then local police to save the life of Asif, however when the 15 Police officers arrived they arrested Asif and secured him within the cells of a police sub-station at Jhamakay.
Within an hour of his detainment Qari Rana and a mob of baying Muslim calling for Asif to be lynched had gathered outside Jhamkay Police Chokey (sub station). The picketers became violent as their numbers swelled to in excess of 300 and they overwhelmed the local police at which point Asif was forcibly removed form the cell and beaten by Qari Rana and his cohorts.
An alert was made to Ali Purr Chata Police Station and reinforcement officers were sent immediately to calm the situation. Only their prompt arrival prevented Asif from being lynched or burnt alive and some intervention from local people of high standing. Asif was moved to the more secure cells at District Jail Gujranala and police say that he has admitted to being guilty for the crime – though it is believed by many that Asif has been coerced into a flase confession.
Asif’s parents categorically deny their son could possibly burn the Quran or steal from the graveyard collection box at the tomb of Sundhay Shah which is 2kn from his home. They have advised BPCA officers that Asif collected waste paper, used bottles and other recyclable material which he sold on to recycling factories. This brought in a small income that helped to support his family. Often he would work around the tomb area because it is a known public hotspot with high footfall and therefore has a high yield of such material. His family alleges that Muhammad Nawaz also collects recyclable material from the tomb area and has devised this allegation as a ploy to increase his economic margins by removing competition. Asif’s father Stephem Masih said:
“Muja (Muhammed Nawaz) has always had a grudge against my son and regularly tells Asif that he is the cause for his financial loss. He has often threatened Asif and told him that the tomb area is designated for him to collect recyclables as he is a Muslim and Asif is only a worthless and untouchable Christian.”
“Asif has been brutally beaten he is too young to experience such violence and hatred and he is now terrified. I know he was not involved in the burning of a quran and believe he has been tortured into a confession. Already several attempts have been made to convert him to Islam with offers of freedom if he quits Christianity, but my son will never do that.”
Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association, said:
“This utterly reprehensible attack on a young Christian teenager fomented by a Mulsim man intent on ‘killing of the competition’ quite literally is a clear indication of the evil nature of Pakistan’s blasphemy law.
“Laws are meant to regulate the behaviour of members of a society. They should to retain peace and order and should not be devised to create alienation and conflict.
“By refusing to abrogate or amend the draconian blasphemy laws of Pakistan the political parties there have illustrated they are complicit in or even espousing the prevailing climate of hate towards minorities.
“Britain pays £225 million per year to Pakistan from the Department for International Development (DfID) specifically for holistic educational reform. Yet their national curriculum demonizes and caricatures minorities, creating a desire for the eradication of non-Muslims and a sense of need for woeful blasphemy laws.”
“Such poor governance should be met with the immediate cessation of International aid to Pakistan from countries in the west. Foreign aid budgets from nations in the west should be given to countries that can prove they have a desire to change their socio-economic situation for their most deprived citizens and improve the lives of minorities living within them.”
Two other Christian teenagers are also currently incarcerated for alleged blasphmey. One is Nabeel Masih arrested 18th September 2016 (click here)for alleged blasphmous images on facebook. The other Shahzad Masih was a sweeper at a hospital where he was accused of making blasphemous remarks by colleagues and arrested on 13th July 2017.

May God help him. Pakistan is a pretty failed state anyway, they treat Christians worse than dogs (and they treat dogs pretty badly as well).

A young boy gets beaten up on false charges then he is arrested. WOW! Only in a backwards sh*thole like Pakistan could something like that happen. Are the police there to assist the muslims to make sure the beatings are halal approved. What good are they. If any country should be wiped out, its Pakistan. But, instead, we waste our time, resources and military lives in countries like Afghanistan for no good reason.

No they haven’t. Good point. They wouldn’t burn a U.S. green card either.

It was a mistake to ally with Pakistan. Ally with India instead.

True, Pakistan is now “friends” with Communist China, India is on the verge of a War with China, arm India with modern weapons and let them “take care” of both China and Pakistan! Should keep everyone busy for about the next 20 years!

China also gave Pakistan (as well as its other ally, North Korea) the technology to make nuclear bombs.

I was just watching: “New: CIA Agent Whistleblower Risks All To Expose The Shadow Government” The guy was saying that both Israel and Saudi Arabia more influence than anyone in US deep state.

I think that is without doubt a fairly accurate picture – I would go as far as to say that Israel and Saudi ARE the Deep State… by proxy (the agentur)

Did you listen to what President Trump said? He put Pakistan on notice for providing safe havens to the Taliban and Al-Quaeda and said the USA would come after these groups wherever they were. He also spoke about cutting humanitarian/economic funding to them. How could anyone – with the exception of the American MSM, the Democrats, their fellow-travellers and other anti-Trumpers – interpret that as allying with Pakistan?
America’s relationship with Pakistan was strengthened by President Obama who significantly increased USA funding to a nation which had the money and desire to develop nuclear weapons but not feed and educate its children.

pakistan is a write off, as are all islamic nations and individual muslims. Best to have nothing to do with islam or muslims as what you see in today’s islam, is what is delivered everywhere a muslim is.

And don’t forget atheists, and homosexuals, and basically, ALL non-believers, that are non-muslim.

I like the idea of pulling all foreign aid from all sources until this BS comes to a stop … money talks and all that. Have to wonder how the revised strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan’s role in harbouring terrorists is going to change. Pulling both India and Pakistan into the nation building role is going to be interesting to watch.

Would any leader in the world step in, and try to save these kids? Not likely, as most of them serve satan and his minions, who are being brought in to all these countries, by the thousands.

All that’s needed to eliminate a minority is to accuse them of burning that pathetic little book. The mob is then off to the races. These folks really need dead.
