Pakistan: Christian loses sight in one eye in brutal attack by Muslim neighbors

8

The international apathy with which these heinous acts of religious savagery are met is no less egregious than the acts themselves. Where is the outcry from the UN? The international media? Do you think they would be as indifferent as they are if a Muslim had lost his sight in one eye after a brutal attack by Christians? Neither do I. Look at Gaza, where the “Palestinian” protesters attack the IDF, and the international media portrays the incidents as if they were entirely Israel’s fault. If Christians really attacked Muslims, 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, engage in such behavior. This kind of attack, however, by Muslims on a Christian 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.”

“Christian Loses Sight in One Eye in Attack by Muslim Neighbors,” Morning Star News, August 28, 2018:

LAHORE, Pakistan (Morning Star News) – A young Christian man in Karachi, Pakistan lost sight in one eye when armed, Muslim neighbors attacked his family, his father said.

Vikram John, 25, lost sight in his left eye after Muslim neighbors who had pressured his family to leave the neighborhood with months of harassment beat him and other family members on the night of Aug. 18, his father Alvin John told Morning Star News by phone.

“After exchanging a few hot words with the Muslim youths led by a political activist named Ihsan, Vikram came inside the house,” Alvin John said. “Moments later, bricks and stones came smashing through our window glass and hitting our gate. The attackers threatened us, saying to move out of the neighborhood if we wanted to stay alive as they hurled curses and abuses on us.”

Earlier in the evening, Vikram John was involved in a minor altercation with Muslim neighbors who had teased his 18-year-old sister, said his father, who 10 months ago moved the family to Karachi’s Mehmoodabad No-II neighborhood from Sahiwal District in Punjab Province.

“This wasn’t the first time they had harassed her,” he said. “For months we had been requesting the boys’ families to stop the hooliganism, but it seems that they had found this to be an effective tool to intimidate us, so the harassment continued unabated.”

The Muslims have been harassing and intimidating the family, who belong to an Assemblies of God church, since they moved into the rented house, he said – teasing his children when they stepped out the doorway and mocking them for being Christian.

Although there is a sizeable Christian population in the Mehmoodabad area, the John family is the only one on their street of 15 to 20 Muslim families, he said, adding that the neighbors tried various antics to force them out.

“Soon after the Muslims started harassing us, I had made up my mind that I would not let my children suffer in this environment,” he said. “I was waiting for the 12-month rental agreement to finish so that we could relocate to some other area or even go to Lahore and start afresh. I wish I had the financial means to leave that neighborhood earlier.”

Alvin John said that when a group of Muslims started pelting their home with stones the evening of Aug. 18, they broke window panes and damaged the gate.

He said that the Muslim leading the assailants, Ihsan, was affiliated with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), a Karachi-based political party notorious for supporting gangs of assassins and extortionists in the financial hub of the country.

“After the attackers left the scene, I told some neighbors who had gathered there that we were going to launch legal action and sought their assistance in the matter,” he said. “However, around 11 p.m., some 30 armed Muslims attacked our house again, this time forcing their way into our home. Someone had informed them about our intention to approach the police, so they had come to ‘teach us a lesson.’”

He said that the assailants beat him and his two sons as his wife and daughter screamed in panic.

“They beat Vikram mercilessly while my younger [22-year-old] son Sunil and I made frantic efforts to save him,” he said. “The Muslims beat us too, but our injuries are not serious. The attackers also broke the furniture and ransacked our other belongings.”

Police and other security officers eventually arrived and took them to Jinnah Hospital, where they learned that Vikram John, a chemical engineering student, had lost sight in his left eye, besides serious injuries to other parts of his body, he said.

Alvin John said he suspects police have made no arrests because of the Muslim gang’s political backing….

And the Pope shills for bringing in more of these into christian lands http://tinyurl.com/popeofwolves

while he lives behind secure 40 ft walls and 24 hour security !

And can someone who has twiter account share these assaults on christians in pakistan and just ask “what are you doing about these assaults on christians in pakistan” by tagging Trump’s twitter account.

He went bonkers based on fake video and launched attack on syria ! If 100’s of folks do he will at least speak out and hopefully threaten to sanction pukistan. MSM will never expose these news

Yet he IGNORES the molesting of children, deflecting to ocean pollution and climate change.
Doesn’t he realize that GOD always has and always will control our weather! Human beings are not the problem and could stop littering? Instead he pushes Muslims and illegals on us. He ignores Christians being slaughtered by them.

At least these two Priests will be punished. Shame on them!
This Pope has no shame and totally hypocritical.

This is the devil’s religious system on earth. His hatred is against the human race. Believe that. Unfortunately the Muslims were blinded by these heinous demons. He deceived Muhammad himself by passing himself by the angel Gabriel.

I do believe it is the religion of Satan. I say that with all seriousness. It is has the perverted piety, traditions, rituals and loves death. It is a totally evil. Look how Islam treats people, animals and themselves – especially women. It is the antithesis of Judaism or Christianity. It fits the bill of what a vile “religion” can be and on a GLOBAL basis. It’s like a spiritual cancer that is metastasizing destroying all who get in the way globally. It is a made up “religion” by Mohammad who was ENVIOUS of Jews and Christians.

A female activist in Saudi Arabia was executed. How is that tolerant?
I still think Obama is an Indonesian style Communist Muslim. He did his part of destroying us from within.

Obama said “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.” But does it really?
SEP 5, 2018 3:54 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

In his famous outreach speech to the Islamic world from Cairo on June 4, 2009, Barack Obama said: Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia and Cordoba during the Inquisition. I saw it firsthand as a child in Indonesia, where devout Christians worshiped freely in an overwhelmingly […]
