Christians Wounded in Muslim Attack on Church Service in Pakistan

16

Imagine if Christians had attacked Muslims in a mosque and injured seven of them. You’d never hear the end of it in the international media; it would be like the coverage given to the alleged persecution of Muslims in Myanmar and elsewhere. But Christians do not, of course, attack mosques; nor should they. This, however, attack by Muslims on Christians in a church is so commonplace, and Muslim violence is so taken for granted, that this will get no coverage at all. “Journalists” are too busy hunting for incidents of “islamophobia.”

“Christians Wounded in Muslim Attack on Church Service in Pakistan,” Morning Star News, March 20, 2018:

LAHORE, Pakistan (Morning Star News) – At least seven Christian worshippers were injured in an armed attack by local Muslims on a church service on Sunday (March 18) in southern Punjab Province, Pakistan, the church pastor told Morning Star News.

Pastor Haleem Feroze Masih of the King Jesus Church in Burewala, 155 miles (251 kilometers) southwest of Lahore, said he was leading the service when at least 15 local Muslims led by Muhammad Sharif entered the church compound around 1 p.m. and attacked the congregation.

The attack was preceded by a clash outside the church building.

“Some of our church elders were trying to install a flex signboard in connection with the upcoming Easter festival on the wall in front of the church but they were stopped by Sharif’s sons,” Pastor Masih said. “Sharif is a local tough who has previously grabbed a piece of the Christian cemetery in our colony and built a cattle shed on the graves. He is also running a gambling den and is known to patronize criminals.”

Last Christmas, Sharif had installed a sign on the wall in front of the church building in Burewala’s New Christian Colony congratulating the congregation on the holy occasion, but church members later noticed that it contained photos and phone numbers of Sharif, his sons and others, Pastor Masih said.

“Suspicions also arose when these Muslim youths started hanging out near the church during service timings and began teasing our girls,” he said.

Pastor Masih said that he and other church elders spoke about these matters with Sharif and the other Muslims “a couple of times,” but they refused to take down the sign or stop their young men from harassing the Christian women.

On Sunday (March 18) church elders tried to replace the Muslims’ sign with their own, but Sharif’s sons stopped them, he said, adding that the property belongs to a Christian.

“The elders tried to reason with the youths, but it seems that the Muslims intentionally wanted to pick a fight with us,” he said.

The Muslims snatched the church’s sign and tore it into pieces, Pastor Masih said.

“One of our church elders told the Muslims that they had desecrated biblical verses inscribed on the flex sign, to which they responded that, ‘We are bigger than your Jesus,’” he said.

The Muslims stormed the church compound and began beating church members with batons and bricks, he said.

“Some of them whipped out their weapons and opened fire on the church members, who ran to save themselves,” he said. “I immediately telephoned the police and headed out to try and defuse the situation. However, I was also beaten up, my service robe torn and my mobile phone smashed to the ground. I think we were fortunate that none of us suffered a fatal bullet injury during the clash.”

Pastor Masih said the assailants even attacked police when officers arrived.

“They also pelted stones at the police, but the policemen managed to arrest Sharif, his sons and another unidentified man from the spot while the others fled along with the weapons,” he said….

it’s mohammad’s will. this is the future for westerners or their descendants. even in USA people are already being jailed for criticying islam or bringing bacon into mosques, just like in saudi arabia or iran.
Quran > USConstitution
Islamic way of life > American way of life
mohammad > george washington, king arthur, william wallace
western civilization as you know it is over, gone, kaput. welcome to the new islamic era of the world. Islam will be part of your daily lifes years after years, decades after decades, century aft……..

Well you won’t like it. Nor will any of the other losers who are used to having all the comforts of western civilisation without the effort of either inventing it or working for it. Just think, when the whole world is Muslim, there will be no education in anything other than the Koran, no creative thought permitted therefore no new inventions, no medical research, no new ways with agriculture or any engineering advances. No infrastructure improvements. No anything, really. And with the whole world Muslim there won’t even be any jizya to collect, so who do you think will be working? You might even be forced to work for your own survival.

Of course, with no infidels to blow up you’ll have to revert to blowing up the ‘wrong’ sects.

Dante was a member of the church of rome. Where else would he have heard about purgatory, as it SURELY IS NOT in scripture.

Pakistain’s Christians, at least the remaining ones, are probably pretty poor and deliberately kept so by their muslum overlords and the dying atheist West doesn’t consider them refugees at all.

Jesus never faced muslim savages , Romans and the corrupt jewry who fleeced the populace were his worst enemies. but they committed atrocities that pale in significance compared to what muslims do.

And the pope supports more such “immigrants” into christian lands while he has not voiced his outrage against atrocities by muslims in muslim lands https://tinyurl.com/ydy9xkxs

And this fraud hides behind 40 ft walls and criticises Trump for building a wall !
Worst Hypocrite ? or Leftists Anti-christian, pro-islam trojan horse ? you decide.

I like how the enemedia describes the persecution of Christians by f’ing muslum vermin as a “clash — as if both parties are equally responsible for the outcome. It’s clear the muslums were trying to intimidate/persecute the Christians and the Christians did nothing but resist the effort.

Don’t profit those the cater to MUSLIMS!

Off topic –

Do NOT buy CADBURY products!
It is MUSLIM halal certified!

They have also dropped the word, “EASTER” from their EASTER products too! It was “offensive” to Muslims and they may have an ownership stake in the company.
