They ...<b>Pakistani Muslims Gun Down Christian Friend</b><br /><br /><i>They order him to convert to Islam or die, after accusing him of murder.</i><br /><br /><b>MUREEDKAY, Pakistan, December 21</b> (CDN) — A group of Muslims shot their Christian friend dead this month on the outskirts of this town after saying they would spare his life only if he recanted his faith, according to the young man’s father.<br /><br />The friends of Patras Masih, who died from gunshot wounds on Dec. 3 in Karol village, Punjab Province, issued the ultimatum to him after accusing him of the murder of their friend Anees Mahammad. An autopsy reported showed Mahammad died from toxic alcohol earlier that day.<br /><br />Patras Masih’s father, Gulzar Masih, said his son was at home on that day, had no contact with Mahammad, and that his friends accused him of the murder only because he refused to recant Christianity and embrace Islam.<br /><br />On Dec. 1, Mahammad and three other Muslim friends of Patras Masih – Sohail Muhammad, Imran Muhammad and Amir Muhammad – had arrived with unknown Muslim men and asked Masih to help them find liquor, Gulzar Masih told Compass. Pakistani law forbids Muslims from buying or consuming alcohol. Locally brewed liquor in rural areas of Pakistan can be fatally toxic; this month 14 people died from locally brewed, toxic liquor in Pakistan’s Punjab Province, news website Express India reported today.<br /><br />“On that night,” Gulzar Masih said, “I also heard them saying in a commanding way in the drawing room of our house, ‘You [Patras Masih] ought to accept Islam and recant your faith, otherwise you and your family will be responsible for the dire consequences.’” <br /><br />Patras Masih held fast to his faith, his father said; leaving with his Muslim friends, he bought them a couple of bottles of liquor and returned home.<br /><br />His voice full of grief, Gulzar Masih said that on Dec. 3, his son’s three Muslim friends arrived at their doorway yelling that he had killed Mahammad, and that they would spare his life only if he converted to Islam. They accused Patras Masih of serving Mahammad a toxic drink in their home the previous day.<br /><br />When Patras Masih refused to recite the Islamic conversion creed, his father said, Sohail Muhammad, Imran Muhammad and Amir Muhammad sprayed bullets at his chest, killing him instantly.<br /> <br />“My son bravely refused to recant Christianity and clung to Christ,” Gulzar Masih said, dejected but with a small smile on his face. “He bravely embraced martyrdom.”<br /><br />He said these same three friends on several occasions had pressured Patras Masih to convert to Islam, “but my son never accepted their invitation and always turned down their request to recant Christianity in a healthy and polite manner.”<br /><br />When his father asked him about his friends’ Dec. 1 threats, Patras Masih told him that they often insisted that he become a Muslim. Though the young men had been friends since childhood, Gulzar Masih told his son to stop seeing them, he said. <br /><br />Sternly denying that his son was capable of killing a human being., he pointed out that Patras Masih’s friends accused him of serving Mahammad a toxic drink at Masih’s home on Dec. 2, but that Mahammad died on Dec. 3.<br /> <br />“Surely it is a conspiracy against him because he refused to meet their unreasonable demands,” the frail, bereaved father said. “They were ready to spare him only if he converted to Islam by reciting the holy Kalima [Islamic affirmation of faith], an emblem that one has become a Muslim.” <br /><br />He said that all four Muslim men had been friends of Patras Masih since childhood.<br /><br />Gulzar Masih said that Ferozewala police have registered a murder case against the three suspects, but that they are all still at large and his family is vulnerable to further attacks.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-25206853465748934132010-01-14T19:47:25.933-05:002010-01-14T19:47:25.933-05:00Indonesia: Muslims Destroy Church

They stormed into the building, carrying banners and tanks of kerosene. One witness reported hearing them shout, “Destroy! Destroy it! Replace the church with mosque!” Muslims damaged bricks, broke lights, uprooted newly planted trees and set the building on fire.<br /><br />Damage amounted to about 60 million rupees (approximately $6,235). Local Christians were planning to use the nearly completed building for a Christmas service.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-7472181824016873902010-01-14T19:45:01.787-05:002010-01-14T19:45:01.787-05:00Iran: Christians Arrested

Christians were told they must be available during the period leading up to formal and legal interrogations and that they must appear before prosecutors when ordered. Two of the leaders of the group, Kambiz Saghaee and Ali Keshvar-Doost, were arrested.<br /><br />At last report, Saghaee and Keshvar-Doost remained in detention at an undisclosed location, and their families had neither been able to contact them nor received confirmation from police of their whereabouts.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-43928634559663927732010-01-14T19:41:06.940-05:002010-01-14T19:41:06.940-05:00Islam is not a "religion of peace," desp...Islam is not a "religion of peace," despite desperate insistence by former President George W. Bush (R) and President Barack Obama (D).<br /><br />Every three minutes a Christian is being tortured in the Muslim world, and in 2009, more than 165,000 Christians were killed because of their faith, most of them in Muslim countries, according to a human rights organization.<br /><br />"Hamas digs up the bodies of Christians from Christian burial sites in the Gaza Strip claiming that they pollute the earth," said Reverend Majed El Shafie, President of One Free World International (OFWI).<br /><br />"Furthermore," claims El Shafie in a report by Matthew Wagner in the Jerusalem Post, "between 200-300 million Christians are being persecuted in the world, 80 percent of whom lived in Muslim countries and the rest in communist and other countries."<br /><br />For instance, in Saudi Arabia, Christians--and those of other religions--cannot bring in their Bibles, or holy books, or other religious symbols; in Egypt, Coptic Christians are routinely harassed and churches ransacked. Jews are not allowed in Saudi Arabia unless by rarely granted special permission; by law, Jews are not allowed to live in Jordan.<br /><br />And yet, the politically correct claim that the violent, terrorist Muslims are not typical of their faith, although few Muslims stand up to denounce the evil that is being done in the name of Islam, while many agree with the terror.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-56290869078885803602009-11-06T01:31:31.807-05:002009-11-06T01:31:31.807-05:00PAKISTAN – Teenager Abducted by Muslims – VOM Cont...PAKISTAN – Teenager Abducted by Muslims – VOM Contacts<br /><br />On Sept. 16, The Voice of the Martyrs received reports that Sidra, a Christian teenage girl, was abducted by Muslims in Pakistan.

Read More’s father and mother are frantic and are requesting prayer for their daughter’s safe return. This is the second time Sidra has been abducted by Muslims. In February 2008, she was abducted while getting ready for school and was held in captivity for eight months. While being held Sidra was violated and Muslims attempted to force her to deny Christ, but she refused. Recently the family was holding prayer meetings in their neighborhood and praying for Muslims in their home. They believe this upset local Muslims and led to the abduction.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-66110874527363216802009-10-30T01:45:26.398-04:002009-10-30T01:45:26.398-04:00Toronto imam preaching 'hate instead of harmon...<a href="http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/holy-post/archive/2009/10/21/toronto-imam-calls-for-destruction-of-christians-jews.aspx" rel="nofollow">Toronto imam preaching 'hate instead of harmony'</a>Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-67316406209877395882009-10-21T16:17:57.611-04:002009-10-21T16:17:57.611-04:00Muslims Behead Four Ex-Muslim Christian Orphanage ...<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LK8-4SO63Q" rel="nofollow">Muslims Behead Four Ex-Muslim Christian Orphanage Workers</a>Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146601338956701881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096670002191538774.post-57315659579745855382009-10-17T11:54:46.027-04:002009-10-17T11:54:46.027-04:00Thanks, Jeff.
