While Muslim leaders, organizations and groups drone on about intolerance in the West, religious minorities in Muslim countries live terror-filled lives.
Faraz Pervaiz, a Christian ministry leader had to flee Pakistan in 2014 after Muslims grew enraged by his message. Following pressure from Muslims groups, the Pakistani government filed a criminal blasphemy case against Pervaiz in 2017. He has since lived on the run.
This email and video comes from one such reader – his translation is a bit awkward but his message is clear:

Dear sister Pamela
This video I received through WhatsApp from Pakistan.
Video Translation:
Bismillah ul rehman ur Raheem. My name is Muhammad Kashif. Yesterday Faraz Pervaiz who committed blasphemy and who’s head bounty is fixed at one million rupees had been seen. Today he is hidden in Bangkok. Islamic veterans are chasing him. Inshallah they will kill him very soon. And we will hear this good news soon. After that no one Christian or Jew could dare to think to do blasphemy. Inshallah we will got this news because the Islamic veterans are chasing him, after this no one will even consider committing blasphemy as he will be seen as an exampleChristian refugee charged with blasphemy beaten by radical Muslims in grocery storeChristian refugee charged with blasphemy beaten by radical Muslims in grocery store
A Pakistani Christian asylum seeker in hiding in Thailand says he was attacked by a group of radical Muslims at a grocery store two days before Christmas as his family has faced years of hurdles in their quest for resettlement.
Faraz Pervaiz, a ministry leader who often posted criticisms of Islam online, fled from Pakistan in 2014 after radical Muslims grew enraged by videos he and his father posted. Following pressure from Muslims groups, the Pakistani government filed a criminal blasphemy case against Pervaiz in 2017.
Although Pakistan is known for imprisoning more people for blasphemy than any other country, Pervaiz told The Christian Post that his case is the first instance in the history of Pakistan’s blasphemy law that the state itself registered a blasphemy case against someone.
Additionally, Pervaiz is the subject of two bounties that have radical Muslims in Bangkok eager to cash in on the reward.
The first bounty is the equivalent of $62,000 issued by the political party Tahreek-e-Labbaik in Pakistan over a year-and-a-half ago. Then last January, a radical cleric who sympathizes with the Taliban placed a bounty on Pervaiz’s head equal to about $124,000.
Since the location of Pervaiz’s Bangkok residence was disclosed online last July by a Muslim refugee, he and his family have been subject to increased death threats. Despite years of pleading with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to be resettled, he feels the entity and the international community are failing his family in their time of great need.
“I am in a situation where we are helpless here,” Pervaiz explained in a recent phone interview. “Actually it’s not the fault of UNHCR. This is the fault of my people, my Christian community. They are not taking any serious measures for our safety.”
The increased threats against his life came to a head last Dec. 23.
Pervaiz said that he was on his way to his parents’ house when he stopped at a local Indian grocery store to buy sweets for his parents and his four siblings detained at Bangkok’s Immigration Detention Centre. When he entered the store, he was confronted by a Muslim refugee he knew named Muhamad.
According to Pervaiz, Muhamad had come to him last April to be baptized in the name of Christ. Although Muhamad was baptized in front of the Pervaiz’s congregation, the baptism turned out to be a ploy by Muhamad to get more intelligence on how Pervaiz and his father were running their ministry.
Once Pervaiz entered the store on Dec. 23, he said, Muhamad approached him and said that Pervaiz needed to die because he is “blasphemous.”
“He said that no one damaged Islam like [my family has] in the 72 years of in the history of Pakistan,” he recalled.
After a verbal argument, Muhamad used his cell phone to call fellow Muslims to come to the store so they could attack Pervaiz. In little time, three of Muhamad’s colleagues arrived.
“Without wasting any time, immediately they approached the shop while I was picking up the stuff from there,” Pervaiz said. “They started beating me very hard with the punches. They were like hungry lions. They jumped on me.”
During the attack, the men pressed down hard on his spine and throat. But with the help of two Christian asylum seekers who entered the store and the elderly shopkeeper, Pervaiz escaped.
According to Pervaiz, the men chased him to his car. The car, he said, was gifted to him by a friend who was concerned that he needed a safe way to get around the city without being attacked.
As the men beat on the car, Pervaiz drove off. He said he kept driving until he was outside the city.
“They brutally did their best to kill me,” he stressed. “I think my head bounty attracted that person.”
After he fled, two of the Muslim men went to his parents’ house to harass and threaten the family.
“They banged the door very [loudly] and they called my father to come out,” Pervaiz explained. “They said, ‘You and your son, Faraz, we will kill you.’”
Three of the men that attacked him in the grocery store are also registered with the United Nations as refugees, according to Pervaiz.
UNHCR’s confidentiality policy does not allow the entity to comment or even confirm the existence of individual asylum cases.
Pervaiz was treated at a nearby hospital two days later. According to a medical document issued by the hospital that was obtained by CP, he was treated for “an abrasion wound and contusion due to body assault.”
Although he and his family have been registered with the UNHCR for years now, the family is no closer to being resettled to another country than they were five years ago. Meanwhile, other refugee families are being resettled at a much quicker rate, Pervaiz contended.
“UNHCR, they never ever helped me to save me and my family,” he said. “The protection officer in the last conversation he said ‘Your case is very complicated.’”
Pervaiz has reason to believe that a high-level Pakistani government official may have spoken negatively about him in communications to the UNHCR.
When he and his parents reached out to UNHCR to report the altercations on Dec. 23, not much help was offered from UNHCR except to suggest that the parents should move to a new residence for safety.
UNHCR also compelled Pervaiz to remove 474 videos he posted online that were critical of Islam and offensive to some Muslims, he said.
“That is my identity. Where is my freedom of expression?” he asked. “Where is my liberty?”
Pervaiz hasn’t had much luck finding help from various international Christian ministries devoted to helping persecuted Christians.
“There are many Christian groups where I feel like we are begging and they’re ignoring,” he said.
With his family in limbo, he continues to speak out publicly about his case in hopes it will produce better results for those in Pakistan whose blasphemy cases are ongoing.
“I want to be their voice because their cases are scant like mine,” he said.
Despite the trials and tribulations, Pervaiz still holds hope that his family’s situation will improve.
“I believe when the Christian world reads this article and pray, God will make a way for me — as He did with the Israelites in the time of Exodus,” he stated. “I believe something is going to happen. We believe in miracles. God is going to do it in Jesus’ name.”

Christianity, Hinduism or other religions don’t have any rules for believers to kill unbelievers, though they’ve had their extremists. But overall most people, whatever their beliefs can live in peace with each other, except Muslims.
Islam has a theocratic-judicial system that applies to both Muslims and non-Muslims, which makes them a problem for us whether we like it or not. Once the Muslim population is dominant anywhere, they will hunt all of us down for blasphemy or other imagined crimes against their wretched death cult.
This war is very real, it is us vs them. Every Muslim is a potential rapist, thief, backstabber, terrorist or jihadist. The non-violent Muslims meanwhile work to gain power and destroy our freedom by other means. Most will never come to the aid of non-Muslims, so they’re all against us.
Muslims will be nice to your face until you question their pedo-prophet or their evil religion. Deportation should be the least we need to do to these hatemongers and savages.
I agree with Pam, we should offer asylum only for those trying to escape the nightmare of Islam, including ex-Muslims who are legit and pose no danger to us.
Notice also the media is completely silent about this horrendous issue, even though they know one day the Muslims will come after them too? Nobody is safe, so the best thing to do is expose this huge problem and confront it head on.

Absolutely, “Islamist” is more obfuscation coming from Muslims who want to fool the infidels into believing there are good and bad Muslims, when in reality they’re all working for the same goal.
You’ll hear people like Maajid Nawaz spewing this nonsense on LBC radio. However when anyone suggests that Islam is the root of the problem, Maajid will start calling them Islamophobes and ‘far-right bigots.’ We need a major wake-up call for the West.

I would take in this INSHALLAH. Bring him to my home. Wanna bet he would forever be safe?
YES, HE WOULD.
ISLAM IS A CANCEROUS IDEOLOGY OF EVIL, HATRED, AND DEMONS.
MUHAMMAD WAS CANCEROUS, a pedophile, heretic, and demon.

Can we please now stop being so politically correct and finally drop the term radical when describing encouraged (to put it mildly) terror which those who follow the islam ideology commits against those of us who do not follow it (and hopefully most never will)?
The ideology’s defining texts all encourage if not demand this. Thus it is NOT a radical interpretation. The idea that is radical is taqyyia to make the ideology less offensive for a short while during which it grows new roots in new lands through the very lies which taqyyia is all about.

Many of my interactions with Muslims starts with a short prayer. Lord, guide these hands that you have prepared for war against thine enemies”, then I pull the trigger.

Perhaps, he needs to ask for asylum protection from a Buddhist nation, such as Myanmar. Christians never seem to protect their own.

Maybe he could go to Angola. Actually, I’ve read India has opened its doors to ALL kufar fleeing muslum persecution.

WAY too many moslems in injia, that sunny clime. Moreover, they (the vilest of ALL creatures) seem to have a significant amount of political clout. If you’re looking to flee moslems, I don’t believe that injia would make a wise choice.

UR right it would be insane! India couldn’t even let Salman Rushdie back to visit the country he was born in because they were afraid of how the f’ing muslums would respond.

It is VASTLY more dangerous to be a Christian, in injia, than it is a moslem. Look into it.

India has been parted out by the muslums like a old rusted out ’69’ Mustang. First Pakistan and now for all intents and purposes Kashmir. Their future does not look bright.

Unfortunately, if you follow news out of injiuh … It ain’t very safe to be a Christian in a hindoooooo village. Rape, of Christian women, is commonplace. As, beatings and murders of Christians is NOT a rarity.

Personally – I am in no way surprised that Faraz Pervaiz, the Pakistani Christian ministry leader and asylum seeker in Thailand has not received any real help from any of – ‘the various international Christian ministries’ devoted to helping persecuted Christians
– For the ‘leadership’ of the politically powerful and very wealthy ‘Amerikan’ ‘persecution-ministries’ like ‘Voice of the Martyrs’ { VoM } and ‘Open Doors’ have chosen to emphasize Political Solutions – and ‘Signing Petitions’ for ‘High Profile’ folks’ — but NOT for the ‘Commoners’ like Faraxz Pretvaiz who really need help
– And they have chosen to completely ignore -and or- do not actually believe in “the words of truth” written in James 5:16 [AV]~[KJV] :
Confess your faults one to another, and PRAY one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent PRAYER of a righteous man availeth much.
*** READ Also : Ephesians 6:18 + 1 Thessalonians 5:23-25 + Hebrews 4:12 [AV]
.
But – This ‘spiritual complacency’ and “arrogancy” of and by “the church of the Laodiceans” “hath been” Biblically WARNED about in Revelation 3:17 [AV] :
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing ;
and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked :

Can blasphemy ever be considered righteous? Honestly asking. Isn’t there a time and place when blasphemy is unavoidable? When the tyrant commands you take a knee and worship him, simply standing is blasphemy.

And the government ministers in the UK in control of immigration still welcome people who worship this ideology. Mind blowing really.

Murder in response to blasphemy? Didn’t the West already go through the Inquisition why do liberals pretend we are worse than the Islamists who murder people if a Koran is even accidentally burned by an infidel? What the Imams mean by blasphemy is anything not submissive to Islam it is a master slave relationship. We got past slavery in the USA no matter how many black and white supremacists still try to argue the issue. Islam never had a Civil War on the issue of slavery and again its white and black supremacists who claim it was not about slavery, they have had tepid stabs at civil rights in Islamic states. And the Muslim Brotherhood remains a curse to those who want freedom. The way forwards has no stops n the 7th Century.
