An 18-year-old Christian woman raped and forced to convert to Islam

A young Christian woman from Faisalabad is abducted by a Muslim man after visiting an aunt. She was held for ten days and forcibly converted to Islam. Despite a complaint from the victim's father, the police have not yet taken any steps fearing the religious repercussions they may have.

Faisalabad (AsiaNews) – A young Christian woman was kidnapped, raped and forced to convert to Islam by a Muslim man in Faisalabad, Khalil Tahir, chairman of "Adal Trust," a free legal aid organisation that helps minorities, told AsiaNews.

According to early reports, 18-year-old Razia went to visit her aunt on October 21 but never came home. Her parents went out looking for her but to no avail. They also contacted a Muslim man, Sajid, who had harassed her in the past, but he denied any knowledge of her whereabouts.

Razia did eventually make it home on October 31 in a state of shock. She told her parents that Sajid had abducted her, repeatedly raped her and forced her to convert to Islam. She is currently under medical care.

"The girl's father went to the police to file a complaint on the evening of Razia's return, but they were reluctant to register the case fearing that it might get out of proportion because of its religious element," Khalil Tahir told AsiaNews.

For the time being "that man is free," he said. "He can do whatever he wants," he added, "but as a lawyer I'll do everything in my power to help the family get justice in a Pakistani court."

and you dont think that it is important for us to to know what SOME muslims do?

does it not worry you that this could happen to a penji?

[20legend]

it worries me a great deal, but it worries me more that i see more and more sikh kuria stupid enough to let it happen to themselves!

you cant always see it from your own angle unless you've been out to all the places where it supposedly happens - clubs, bars etc because lets face it, thats where most of it originates from.

[xkaurx]

only reason it happens to them is because there clueless about their own religion and everything which goes on in the world! they needs to grow up

[20legend]

yes totally true, im not saying that there more to blame than the muslim extremists but im saying that in SOME cases they must share atleast SOME of the blame..

dont get me wrong, im only arguing this point because whenever i seem to come on the forum there seems to be a thread about some muslim or another whose converted someone and yes it is a serious issue and the case above is true but im sure theres paapis within our own religion that dont get talked about on here?! isnt there!...

[xkaurx]

[20legend]

does it not worry you that this could happen to a penji?
