It Sucks to be a Christian in a Muslim Nation

I’ve been tracking the case of Pakistani Christian Hector Aleem who has been charged with blasphemy against Islam. It is horrendously evil that one can be charged a capital crime for merely saying things that might offend a Muslim especially if the words are innocuously harmless. In a Muslim culture like Pakistan Christians are often persecuted because their very existence as a faith other than Islam is offensive to Muslims. So much so that Christians often victimized without equal protection or justice in what we Westerners would call the Rule of Law but would Muslims would call Sharia Law.
Sharia Law is an Islamic Supremacist legal code which equally mixes the apparatus of State and Islamic religion which disturbingly makes non-Muslims third rate citizens with nil rights and zero rights if there is conflict between a Muslim and a non-Muslim.
This is the case of Hector Aleem. Aleem was a civil rights advocate for Christians in his homeland of Pakistan. A civil rights Christian advocate job is an extremely dangerous in a Muslim and Islamic Supremacist nation like Pakistan. Aleem’s so called “blasphemy” charge is suspected to have been trumped up because Aleem was endeavoring to protect Christian property with whatever limited legal apparatus he could utilize in Pakistan. The Muslim solution: Make a phone call to an Imam’s cell saying offensive things about Mohammed, Islam or Allah and frame the Christian Hector Aleem for it. Thus Aleem is arrested. The Christian property interests have zero representation. Aleem is jailed, tortured and faces a death sentence.
Here are some links to past updates of Hector Aleem’s plight that is nearly totally ignored in the Western World’s major press outlets:
Below is another Hector Aleem update I received yesterday.

Hello everyone
Sorry we always get so tired when its Hector Aleem's hearing. 26th July 2010 was the hearing in the High Court but we were told that we won’t have to come because Judge will give another date. I don’t know why Judge is choosing some other day for our case but hope everything will be okay. We did not go to High Court but we went to the Session Court, We have a stay in the Session Court because our case is being processed in the High Court. There we met Hector Aleem for like just two minutes, we told him that there are many brothers and sisters who are praying for him. He was happy to know that many people are praying for him and he said "when many people are praying for me then sure God will listen their prayers and will give me freedom asap". Another thing I wanted to tell you is on the day before 26th July 2010, four men were severely injured because someone shot them. And that’s the same Court my husband goes to, so today Hector was given security. But still we need your prayers.
Please keep on donating for Hector's legal funds because the case is being processed and lawyers do not work without fee. Those who have already donated, thank you very much. And those who can’t donate please tell your friends to donate and keep on praying for Hector Aleem.
We are Christians living in a Muslim state and our lives are in danger. We cannot even go out to do some job to earn money. We cannot do anything because of the danger from extremists. My Children cannot study anymore because their lives are in danger.
Since 22 January 2009 (The day Hector Aleem was arrested), I have contacted many NGOs. Some of the NGOs which we have contacted are the following:
- 1. Amnesty International
- 2. United Nations
- 3. CLAAS
- 4. IHEU
- 5. Human Rights Commission of Pakistan
- 6 Voice of Martyrs
- 7. ICC
- 8. ACLJ
None of them gave us positive response and everyone refused to help us. You can even ask them why they did not help us. It was our last option to collect the donation. There are currently 1,192 group members, It’s a request if anyone of you knows any Organization who can help us out and give us a lawyer or legal funds then please do contact us.
You can donate through PayPal or you can donate through Western Union. We even had $3, so any amount helps.
