Sharia law. Name one Muslim country under Islamic law that is not brutal, racist, antisemitic, misogynistic and perverse.

Christian man shot by neighbour on his wedding anniversary was on his way to buy a cake

The killing of a Lahore-based 35 year old Christian father who was shot in the doorway of local Muslim man’s home has sparked huge controversy after police failed to register a crime until his dead body was paraded through the streets in a protest outside Lahore press club.

Even then only one national newspaper covered the story in one paragraph (click here). Pakistani Christians allege protests in which murdered bodies are dragged through the street with hundreds mourning are the only way to get police authorities to file crime reports affecting minority communities. Earlier reports named three culprits, but only one has been charged with a crime. To read our previous report click (here)

Vicky Masih a 35-year-old who worked as a cleaner and court messenger for the last 10 years at the Punjab Bar Council in Lahore was shot on the day of his 9th wedding anniversary . On 15th August 2018, at approximately 11:45 pm Vicky left his home to buy a celebration cake for his wife Hina (28 yrs) so that with his children could they all celebrate the special date as a family. Sadly despite having left on a very innocuous trip Vicky would never return home and that moment of great joy withered away to a life of mourning for a now young widow and her three children.

Family of Vicky with BPCA officer Zeeshan.

Barely 10 minutes had passed from the time of departure of Vicky from his home when a local group of men knocked at the home of the family and informed Hina that her husband had been shot and was lying in agony in the doorway of a local Muslim man named Mohammed Abbas (30 yrs). The whole of family left their home and rushed to the scene of the crime hoping that Vicky was still alive. When they arrived at Mr Abbas’s house they found Vicky lying in a pool of blood with the top half of his body in the street traversing the doorway and his legs inside the living room of the house. It looked like he had been running to try to escape the homeowner. Even from first inspections it was obvious to them that the young father’s life was slipping away from him.

Blood stains the streets where Vicky was slain.

The family slumped to the floor by the body of Vicky and tried to encourage him to hold on but Vicky was very frail by now and not very lucid, he could only utter sounds and not words. Muhammed Abbas was in the same home and when he saw the family he fled on foot to escape from the crime scene – no-one attempted to stop him as they feared he had a gun and they were more concerned about saving the life of Vicky.

A large number of local residents many of who had heard the shots joined the family to give support and some called the police who failed to respond.

They found that Abbas was still in his living room with injured Vicky and as he saw the family and people around he started running. No-one gave chase however, as everyone was more concerned about Vicky and were not sure if he still had a gun.

Abbas and Vicky’s homes are across the street, a short distance from each other and Vicky’s brothers Robin (24 yrs) and Salman (23 yrs) ran from their home which is also nearby and came back on their motorcycle. The two brothers held Vicky on the bike and they set off on a 25 minutes journey to Mayo Hospital in Lahore in order to get the injured man some immediate medical assistance.
While Vicky’s was being transported to hospital on motorbike, other family members went to the local police station to demand an investigation. On arrival at the police station the Christian family were surprised at the reluctance of officers present to investigate the crime. Eventually after the family refused to leave without a police officer, six officers were tasked to take the family in a van and visit the crime scene where they wrote an initial report and took images on a police camera. The officers also took a few statements from witnesses which provided compelling evidence of a crime but rather dubiously following the police visit a crime was still be registered via a First Information Report (FIR).

In the meanwhile the brothers of Vicky reached Mayo hospital and seeing the state of Vicky medical emergency staff rushed all three straight into an emergency room. Quite tragically however, after only a few minutes of checking the state of health of Vicky the medical team pronounced him dead. The concerned doctors asked the brothers whether they had informed the police and offered to do so but the brothers explained that other family members had taken care of that.

Around 40 minutes after the brothers had arrived at the hospital the police also attended with the other members of slain Vicky’s family. However at this point they were still refusing to register the FIR. They undertook a general fact-finding mission and then left for the police station after ensuring the corpse of Vicky was stored in the hospital mortuary overnight.

Early in the morning the family returned to Shafiqabad Police station but they once again found that police were not cooperating in registering an FIR. In response the upset family of Vicky collected his body from Mayo hospital, placed it in a coffin and took it too Ravi Road in Lahore near their home, where they protested from 4:00 pm in the afternoon till 7:30pm. No government, political leader was involved only the family members, church people, neighbours and relatives came out to support the family in their protest. Despite their every effort no Pakistani media barring the Nation who wrote a one paragraph incorrect article covered their struggle for justice. It is believed this is because of the anti-Christian agenda in the country.

After the protest BPCA discovered the story and published it, resulting in the police feeling pressured enough to register an FIR that evening, and then sending the body for a postmortem examination. The funeral took place on 17th August at 7pm. Mohammed Abbas was caught by the police on the same evening that the FIR was registered but the family has not been advised of the circumstances of his arrest.

BPCA officer Zeeshan Masih travelled to the funeral of Vicky with flowers to condole the grieving family and Hina, shared her concerns, she said:

“Vicky and Abbas knew each other from the neighbourhood.

“This murder is a mystery to my family and the whole community. No-one understands why Vicky went to Abbas’s house as the two of them only spoke from time to time in passing as neighbours.

“Vicky was shot on the hip by only one bullet and Abbas must have watched as Vicky screamed and writhed before him. Vicky died slowly and painfully he never even had a chance to say anything to us as he was already semi-comatose from the blood loss by the time we arrived to him.

“We have lost our family leader and now our future will be difficult. He gave up everything for us and we loved him so much I feel broken.

“I am praying for justice the man who killed Vicky should not be able to destroy any more lives.”

The family believe that Abbas is known for paying bribes to the local police in order for them to ignore his illegal drug trafficking. This is one plausible reason for police failure to initially establish this crime case as a murder. Police have not yet established the reason for Abbas killing Vicky as he has not given a statement. The crime scene has now been cordoned off by the lackluster police but much of the evidence would have been walked over and touched unwitting people helping the family or simply there due to curiosity.

Wilson Chowdhry said:

“A Christian man has been murdered and the culprit is known. The very fact that Christian communities have to protest to get justice highlights ongoing grave concerns about the ability and the desire of Pakistani Police authorities to get justice for Christians.

“If the authorities of Pakistan fail to convict Mr Abbas then the already sullied reputation for the nation of Pakistan will reach its lowest ebb.

“If Imran Khan wants to prove he cares for minorities than he should make ensuring justice in this this open and shut case a priority. Men of such violence simply should not be allowed to walk the streets unfettered.”

“It is often wrought with difficulty to get justice when there is this kind of power disparity.

“We hope to be able to raise some funds to be able to help the widow and orphaned children recover from the loss of their primary breadwinner. We will continue to assess the ongoing situation as the perpetrator’s and victim’s families’ live very close to each other.”

BPCA will be giving the family funds to cover the costs of the funeral (£100) and solicitor costs to help the family get justice (£600) and is appealing for 6 months lost wages (£600) for the widow to help her readjust to life without her husband. We also would like to help with longer-term school fees for her three young children who will have little hope in life without an education each will need £20 per month.

The only ones who matter to the media are “Palestinians” and even then, they only matter when the media can use them as a way to attack Israel.

Poor Bangladeshis had their hand out for alms before , during , and after partition . Still do . Their failure to maintain levies has somehow caused glowbull warming to eat up their oceanfront properties

He was probably passing by his house and some kind of confrontation happened or maybe he invited him in and ambushed him.

I read a charming 21st century news story out of Bangladesh of how a Hindu man walked by a mosque, was dragged in by the muslum vermin there and murdered for no other reason than he was Hindu.

Pakistan once again turns a blind eye to the suffering of its Christians. It would have been much better had they remained part of India.

Yes, but if they do leave, then that is another Christian community extinct, nothing to keep the flame burning in that land of darkness, just like the one in Arabia died long ago. It is a catch-22.

The trouble is that Indians tend to be weak, passive, Leftist and they think preventing war is more important than saving their country from Islam. So they “compromised” and gave a chunk of land to the Muslims. The mistake was to leave 150 million Muslims in India and also to leave non-Muslims in Pakistan.

A better solution would’ve been to wage war and eliminate the death cult of Islam or to do what the Chinese do and put extreme constraints on Islam that it could not pose anything more than a minor threat to their country.

Muslims are nothing but trouble. They shouldn’t be allowed to live in any free nation. If we were smart, we’d deport them all, ban Islam and muslim immigration.

Actually Bangladesh was partitioned out of Pakistain. I believe it was originally called East Pakistain before it got its independence. The Bengali muslum vermin didn’t want to be ruled over by the Urdu muslum pigs — not that they are ANY better.

The Indians of India today are quite different, many are very conservative and support Modi, a staunch nationalist very strongly.

He surely didn’t deserve this. What Christians need to understand is that it is time to leave PAKISTAN.
Me plans to LEAVE. Christians are the minority there and when the police don’t care, that is a sign of worse to come. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is as of 2010, are 96.4 % MUSLIM !!!!! LEAVE!!!!!

The religious breakdown of the Pakistani population is as follows:

Muslims: 181,723,000
Christians: 2,700,000 (approx. 1.8%
Hindus: 1,800,000 (approx. 1.6%
Ahmadiyya in Pakistan: 4,000,000 (approx 2.2%)
Buddhists: 106,989
Sikhs: 30,000
Zoroastrian/Parsis:
Jews:
Animists, Baha’i, Atheists: n/a

Non-muslims are deliberately kept poor and disenfranchised in muslum states. For them to give up everything they have and move to India w/nothing seems like a good idea but would India even take them in?

My understanding is Christians are given the crappiest low paying jobs because they are Christians. They only allow them to have low paying demeaning jobs. I agree – LEAVE!

People who remained in Pakistan after partition did not want to give up their property , and have been paying for it since . Same thing goes for Bangladesh . The really sad part of it is India allowed many muslims to stay , leaving the country with ongoing hostilities within and out .

Gandhi was a traitor to the Hindu people because he was suckered by the muslum vermin and his own facile delusions of humanity WRT muslums and islum.

I can always tell the crime occurred in Pakistan before starting to read the article. Pakistani Muslims, and the police, treat Christians this way routinely. The US gives Pakistan a lot of money in exchange for their “help” in our fake war on terror. This needs to stop.

Is it any surprise?
One ideology teaches you to “LOVE your neighbor”
and the other one tells you to “KILL your neighbor.”

The consequences of such beliefs are obvious. Eventually the murder cult of Islam will eradicate any peaceful religion.

And to this day our leaders/politicians, Leftists still treat Islam and Muslims like they’re a peaceful belief system, despite all the mountains of evidence that Islam is as dangerous to humanity as Nazism if not worse.

We are all in the Dar-al-Harb, the House of War. To Muslims our land is their battlefield. Every fight we lose no matter how small is seen as a huge victory for them. Their goal is to turn the world into Dar-al-Islam, House of ‘Peace’ land the Muslims have conquered.

By the end of it they’ll have destroyed our civilization, killed millions and driven out everyone else who refused to convert. This was done to Pakistan and 57 other countries which used to be Christian or Secular until Islam invaded.

We are at war. Of course not all Muslims are evil and some are no threat but make no mistake ISLAM is a threat to every man, woman and child on this planet, including Muslims who reject Jihad, Sharia or are moderate followers.

I think western nations including Europe, US, Canada, Israel, India, Australia, Japan should unite and work to defeat the ideology of Islam. All islamic states should be invaded and converted to secular democracies like our own and Islam must be banned. Any Muslims involved in terrorism, preaching of Islam should be wiped out.

This is what we should have done right after 9/11. So how many millions of people must Muslims kill until we finally declare war on Islam?
