Two Christian boys in Pakistan, one of them a minor, have just been arrested and charged with blasphemy after a police officer alleged they had named a puppy Muhammed Ali and were laughing about it. If convicted, they could face long prison sentences, or even death.
In fact, the police officer in question, Zahid Sohail, had apparently been beating the younger boy, aged 14, solely for being a Christian; the other boy had intervened to help his friend and was beaten in turn. Then a crowd of both Christians and Muslims intervened, asking Sohail why he was beating the boys so vigorously. He answered that they had blasphemed, but offered no details. It was only much later, when he returned to the scene, that he came up with the supposed reason: the boys, he claimed, had named their puppy “Muhammed Ali” — a clear case of blasphemy. More on this disturbing story can be found here: “Two Christian Teenagers arrested after police officer states they named puppy Muhammed Ali,” British Asian Christian Association, May 23, 2023:
The boys were booked under Section 295-C of the blasphemy law a statute which prohibits disrespect of the prophet Muhammed and is punishable by death.
On Friday 20th May a Judge sent the two boys to prison on judicial remand and now they face a potentially long prison sentence while they try to attain acquittal or bail.
Adil Babar (18 yrs) and neighbor Simon Masih (14 yrs) were arrested by Race Course Police in Lahore on Thursday 19th May, after an altercation led to a Muslim police officer alleging the Christians had blasphemed against Muhammed.
It seems that the policeman simply was angered by the failure of the boys to be sufficiently respectful or submissive to him, and began to beat the younger boy, and then after the older one intervened, continued to beat both of them, to “teach the Christians a lesson.” But he must have been surprised that Muslims joined Christians from the neighborhood who came out to protest his beating. He responded, to justify his behavior, that the boys had both “blasphemed.” He offered no details at the time of that supposed “blasphemy,” because he had not had time to make them up.
Police constable Zahid Sohail, accused the two Christian boys of having disrespected the Islamic prophet Muhammed, after a crowd of people intervened while he was beating the two boys.
Mr Sohail was questioned by local Muslim and Christian leaders at [sic] why he was beating the two boys so vigorously and though he claimed they had blasphemed, he could offer no description of the alleged crime.
If they had indeed blasphemed, he would have at once been able to quote their offending words. But he couldn’t.
Both boys categorically denied any use of blasphemous words or actions. The crowd seemed to believe them. They live in an area where Muslims and Christians live together peacefully.
When he could not satisfy community elders [both Muslims and Christians] that he was acting professionally, Mr Sohail left the location. Later in the evening however, police raided the village and arrested the two boys. Charges were laid against both of them under Section 295C of the Pakistan Penal Code which carries a death sentence. In a First Information Report (FIR) Mr Sohail claimed to have seen them naming a puppy Muhammed Ali and then sniggering about it.
How likely is it that in the presence of a policeman, two Christian boys would have dared to “name a puppy Muhammad Ali” and “snigger about it”? They knew the consequences of such blasphemy. Sohail’s claim is preposterous.
And the most piquant detail of all: It turns out that the boys did not own a puppy. Nor did anyone in the neighborhood. Zahid Sohail could not possibly have seen them naming a nonexistent puppy Muhammad Ali, or indeed any other name.
Many Christian families in the area have vacated their homes and have travelled to relatives, as local mosques have begun to share the news of a blasphemy on their public address systems. There is great fear that a mob could attack the few Christians, about 500 families that live in this town. When our officers spoke to local Christians they all felt this was simply a malicious attack because the boys are Christian. None were brave enough to talk into a camera or be in images as there are still simmering tensions in the area.
Now that the story of the “puppy-naming blasphemy” has spread, some Christians in the area, afraid of possible Muslim attacks, have moved in with relatives elsewhere. And such is the madness of Muslims whipped up by this false tale of blasphemy, that the 500 Christian families remaining in the town might well be attacked by their Muslim neighbors, with whom they had until now had good relations.
The situation has spiraled out of control. It begins with a police officer beating one Christian boy, and then two of them, likely because he simply took umbrage at their failure to be suitably deferential. When an unfriendly crowd gathered as he beat the boys, he simply claimed that the boys had “blasphemed” without being able to offer any details. He would make those up later. By the time that other police arrived in the evening to arrest the boys, Zahid Sohail had claimed that the Christians had named a puppy “Muhammad Ali” and sniggered at the name.
The boys don’t have a puppy. Nor do any Christians in the area where they live. No matter: the word has gone out that the Christian boys had named their non-existent puppy Muhammad Ali, that this constituted blasphemy, and that they were consequently charged with a crime that could result in long prison terms, or even death. That’s how easy it is to put Christians in Pakistan into mortal danger. Even a single, obviously lying police officer, with his absurd claim about the “blasphemous” naming of that imaginary puppy, can do it.
Thanks for reminding us (Your readers) how fortunate/blessed we are to live in the USA.
Well, here they’d be arrested for naming the dog Cassius Clay. So there’s that.
Just being honest with myself. Im not sure I could maintain under such circumstances.
The idea of a conversion to islam would hopefully be out of the question. I know many start with a false conversion, just to get some peace while on this earth, but by the next generation their kids are fully muslim. I think the false conversion is accepted by islam because they understand they own the nest generation.
After reading the Koran and Hadieths, Ive questioned how many muslims have actually read these books/accounts?
Those of you that also have studied, probably question the same?
The ones that read and adhere to the Quran are the one to fear.
Notice that 500 Christians over there, must STFU, or get killed.
500 muslims over here never STFU, and know democrat administrations will act as their enforcer, and the press will act as their stenographers.
Yeah, if theve read and believe, they are dangerous.
But the fired up, illiterate moron leaving the Adhane (Friday prayer) is probably the most dangerous to Christians in countries like Pakistan.
When jug-eared Barry had shipped Syrian “refugees” over here by the 1,000s (at the cost of $67,000 a head), he made sure Christian Syrians need not apply.
(Christian Syrians were the only ones that actually had an asylum case – for obvious reasons.)
It wasn’t surprising that B. Hussein had weeded out Christians from the refugee horde he brought in.
Previously, B. Hussein had his shithead AG, Eric Holder spend millions of our tax dollars to deport the Romeike family back to Germany.
So, why evict them?
They were Christian, white, law-abiding, hard-working, highly intelligent, well educated, spoke English, home-schooled their kids, and had a normal marriage . . . ALL traights that flaming democrats find repulsive. So they had to go.
Yet there are virtually zero Christian refugees.
As in the days of Nehemiah when he and his men were busy in the reconstruction of the walls around Jerusalem and the Arab became furious and indigent at this at this grand project of the rebuilding of the walls. Neh 4:1 and they thus despised the Jews , Neh. 4:4 ,and schemed terrorist attacks against them.
So the Jewish men set up watch for such attacks, Neh 4:8, therefore ,on this watch they set up guards to be ready for those terrorists attacks , Neh 4;16.
Likewise, in this twenty –first century in areas of the world, as the nation of Pakistan , Christians need to be “on watch and stand firm” First Corinthians 16:13.,as to be on guard from jihad-minded Muslim terrorist attacks against Christians .
For Christians together compose the symbolic body of Christ, Ephesians 1:13. 5:30.
Furthermore, it should be made known that the Muslim terrorists who engage in the persecution of Christians will not get away from the punishment of God for their wicked actions. As seen in Romans 14: 12. First Corinthians 3: 16, 17. Galatians 6:7.
Christians are instructed to “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.”
First Corinthians 16:13. [N.K.J.V.]
There are many Muslims who strongly dislike Christians. Some Muslims even hate Christians so much that they even become violence against them and burn their Bibles. As in the Islamic nation of Pakistan.
One reason for this is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine. So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]
It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.
THE KORAN
BIBLE OF THE MUSLIM TERRORIST:
“The Wahhabis finance thousands of madrassahs throughout the world where young boys are brainwashed into becoming fanatical foot-soldiers for the petrodollar-flush Saudis and other emirs of the Persian Gulf.” AMIL IMANI
Koran 2:191 “s lay the unbelievers wherever you find them”
Koran 3:21 “Muslims must not take the infidels as friends”
Koran 5:33 “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam”
Koran 8:12 “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Koran”
Koran 8:60 ” Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels”
Koran 8:65 “The unbelievers are stupid, urge all Muslims to fight them”
Koran 9:5 “When the opportunity arises, k ill the infidels wherever you find them”
Koran 9:123 “Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood”
Koran 22:19 “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water, melt their skin and bellies”
Koran 47:4 “Do not hanker for peace with the infidels, behead them when you catch them”.
There are attacks against Christians going on all over the world. In Afghanistan, in Iran, in North Korea and, as the article states, in Pakistan where people can be sentenced to death for “blasphemy” against Muslims or the Quran. But there’s actually genocide going on in Nigeria where (you’ll never read about it) but over 45,000 Christians have been murdered in the last 10 years by the radical Muslim group, Boko Haram. Most of them were hacked to death by machetes. And on top of that, just last year around the world there were 6,000 Christians imprisoned, more than 4,000 kidnapped and 5,000 Christian churches destroyed. And did you read anything about the 420 attacks and fires set in Catholic and Christian churches in the U.S. in the last four years? But the government doesn’t want you to know because they’ve been pushing us to be a “Secular” society for sixty years and are openly anti-Christian. It’s past time to start telling the truth about who is really being persecuted and the real genocide going on around the world.
Please pray for these boys and their families as they are anxious and live in fear. Pray for justice. Pray for protection, pray for the boys will remain courageous and pray for wisdom and favor in the courts.
And to think that we give foreign aid money to hellholes like Pakistan. Contact your senator about this.
Just one of the reasons we need a wall we don’t want their Sharia Laws forced upon us Got that Liberal Pinheads?
The official title of that Middle Eastern nation is “The Islamic Republic of Pakistan.” That country really is Islamic . For it does very little to nothing , at all, about the severe terrible and deadly persecution of Christians in that country. Yet , in contrast it let’s the Muslim terrorist chief mastermind of the brutal and murderous jihadists attacks in India at the Hotel Mumbai during November 2008 have safe haven in the Islamic Republic.
Restart the Crusades.
I’m not kidding.
