Do you think Islam is evil? Here is a video from Peace Worldwide on Youtube (it’s in
Urdu but you get the picture of anguish) which a Muslim murdered a Christian
Gospel singer. Below is the video and below the video is the description of how
the murder occurred written in English.

This happened in Pakistan's village
called Bughyana in Kasur District. A Muslim landlord who is also a member of
current government's man Political Party killed a Christian man from that
village because he was a Gospel Singer and that Muslim landlord didn't like
Gospel songs. He attacked his house, kidnapped him and tortured him in
different ways including electrocution for days until he died. Now the
government, Police or Courts of Pakistan are not doing anything because the man
who died is a Christian and they just don't care about a Christian. Pakistani
Christians are facing genocide right now. Pakistani Government is actively
involved in killing Christians everyday, they specifically target young
Christian men. It seems like a crime to be a Christian in Pakistan. Please pray
for this man's family and share this video so more people can see the true face
of Pakistan. You can't find that kind of news on Mainstream Media which is why
we need your help in spreading it. Pakistani Media always criticize India and
other countries but at the same time they hide news in their own countries.
This Christian woman who is speaking in the video has to hide her face because
if she is recognized then Pakistani secret agencies will kidnap her and she
will be disappeared forever.
When I finger point the reality of Islam, the race-baiters
Come out of the
woodwork like cockroaches and scream, “ISLAMOPHOBE!” I’ll get over it but I
expect the usual Social Media banning. In fact I would not be surprised if
Youtube censors this 2 minute and 45 second video in one fashion or another.
If you think the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic is bad, try
being a committed Christian in an Islamic dominated nation.
The Youtube description lacks details such as names and
specific motives. I believe I have found more details from a Vatican
News post from 3/5/20:
Pakistan's religious leaders
condemn brutal murder of young Christian
Pakistan's Christian and
Muslim leaders are calling for justice for the killers of Saleem and for
stopping violence against Christians.

Outrage and condemnation are
running high in Pakistan’s Christian communities following the brutal murder of
a 22-year old young Christian in Kasur district, in Punjab Province.
Saleem Masih was attacked whilst
taking a bath in a tube-well pool belonging to an influential local Muslim
landlord. Accusing him of polluting the pool water, his killers tortured
him brutally causing multiple fractures and internal and external injuries all
over his body.
The murderers kept him for about
three days before returning the body to his family. Taken to a hospital
in Lahore Saleem succumbed to death on 28 February after three agonising days.
Several Christian and Muslim
religious leaders met in Lahore on Wednesday to address the issue and plan
their action, the Vatican’s Fides news agency reported.
At the meeting, chaired by Anglican
Bishop Azad Marshal Raiwind of the Church of Pakistan, were present, among
others, Father Francis Nadeem OFM Cap, Executive Secretary of the National
Commission for Interreligious Dialogue and Ecumenism (NCIDE) of Pakistan’s
Catholic Bishops’ Conference (PCBC), Pastor Emmanuel Khokhar and Islamic leader
Muhammad Asim Makhdoom.
All present "expressed deep
regret" over the episode, a sign of widespread intolerance towards
Christians, and also over the inaction of the police to prevent the crime and
releasing the perpetrators soon after.
“It is the state's responsibility
to provide security to all citizens of the country without any kind of
discrimination. All citizens, of all religions, are equal, contribute to the
development of their beloved nation and deserve equal rights,” Fr Nadeem told
Fides. “We are a nation and live under a single Constitution and a single
flag. The state must enforce these fundamental principles," he added.
Bishop Azad Marshal declared he
will file a “First Information Report against the criminals and will not step
back until the perpetrators receive the appropriate punishment”.
The assembly of religious leaders
expressed While expressing pain and bitterness at the persecution of Christians
in Pakistan, the assembly of religious leaders also recalled the sufferings of
Muslims in India, inviting both countries to avoid discriminatory laws and
behaviour and respect the "principle of citizenship".
The assembly decided to appeal to
human rights organizations of the world “to take immediate action to stop
violence against Muslims in India and against religious minorities in
Pakistan”. It also planned to appeal to the government of Pakistan take
practical measures to avoid this type of incident in the future and bring the
perpetrators of Saleem Masih’s murder to justice and actively promote
interreligious harmony in Pakistan. (Source: Fides)

The Christian Post
(CP) provides even more details. Search engine examinations only points to Peace
Worldwide on Youtube about the murder victim being a Gospel Singer. Either Peace
Worldwide video dated 3/12/20 got the details wrong or yet another incident of
persecuting Christians in Pakistan has taken place. Below are the CP details:
Pakistani Christian man tortured
to death for bathing in well water; family wants justice
By Samuel
Smith, CP Reporter
MARCH 04, 2020
A 22-year-old Christian man was
beaten to death in Pakistan’s Punjab province by men who accused him of
“contaminating” water in a well owned by a Muslim farmer.
Sources have told human rights
organizations that Christian laborer Saleem Masih from the Kasur district of
Punjab was chained, dragged, and beaten with rods by a landowner and four other
men around Feb. 25.
Masih died from his injuries on
Feb. 28 at Lahore General Hospital, according to the U.K.-based Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement.
Masih’s older brother told
the Union of Catholic Asia News that
Masih was tortured for two hours for washing himself off in a tube well owned
by a Muslim landowner who has been identified as Sher Doga.
“We have to take a bath after
unloading husk from a trolley. Even the cold weather doesn’t matter. The
itching from chaff, stuck in our clothes, disturbs our sleep,” Nadeem Masih was
quoted as saying.
“They threatened him with dire
consequences when he cleaned himself after unloading a vehicle last week. They
accused him of desecrating their water. He was already being warned about
making TikTok videos in farms belonging to Muslim landlords.”
Masih was discovered lying in
Doga’s cattle farm with serious injuries on Feb. 25 in Bhagiana village, where
many Christians work as farm laborers.
Nadeem Masih said local women
informed him that they heard Masih moaning in pain around 7 a.m.
“He told the police about being
chained, beaten and electrocuted by four men,” Nadeem Masih said. “They rolled
a thick iron rod over his entire body. He was like a crushed sugar cane from a
juice machine.”
Although Masih was taken to a
hospital for surgery, he died from organ failure.
According to UCANews, Doga was
arrested but later released. The high court in Lahore accepted a bail petition
from the suspects who accused the Masih of stealing.
CLAAS Director Nasir Sayeed said in
a press release that Doga summoned the police himself. Sayeed accused Doga of
bribing police since police pressed Masih’s family to settle the matter.
According to Sayeed, Doga justified
the crime by saying that Masih "committed a crime by dirtying" the
well water.
“The Masih family had to plead with
the landowner to free Saleem Masih so they could take him to a hospital for
medical treatment,” Sayeed reported.
Ghafoor Masih told CLAAS that he
wants justice for his son.
“Those who have killed my son must
be punished for taking the law into their own hands and killing him for nothing
but for being Christian,” Ghafoor Masih was quoted as saying.
According to Sayeed, it will not be
easy to get justice for Masih because the “perpetrators are so influential.”
“The Pakistani police is often
biased when it comes to the matter Muslims and non-Muslims,” Sayeed said.
Michelle Chaudhry, president of the
Cecil and Iris Chaudhry Foundation, said in a statement that the “horrific
act of violence is once again a grim reminder that intolerance in the name of
religion in Pakistan has escalated beyond the rule of law.”
“Unfortunately, in Pakistan, when
it comes to the religious minorities anyone is free to act as a prosecutor,
judge and executor,” Chaudhry explained. “We cannot allow this to go on;
impunity around violence against religious minorities in Pakistan has to end.”
Pakistan is ranked as the fifth-worst country in the world when
it comes to Christian persecution, according to Open Doors USA’s 2020 World
Watch List. Christians have often been victimized by societal persecution in
the predominantly Muslim country.
In 2014, two Christians from Kasur
were burned alive in
a brick kiln by a Muslim mob after they were accused of desecrating a copy of
the Quran.
“It is unacceptable that Christians
in Pakistan still face discrimination and hatred on account of their religious
identity,” CSW Executive Mervyn Thomas said in a statement.
“The government of Pakistan must
take decisive action against the perpetrators of hate and those who carry out
such crimes. We also urge the authorities to fully commit to the long-term work
of overcoming the prejudiced mindset toward religious minorities in society.”
In a Feb. 26 tweet,
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan warned that " anyone in Pakistan
targeting our non-Muslim citizens or their places of worship will be dealt with
strictly."
"Our minorities are equal
citizens of this country," Khan wrote.
According to UCA News, over 1,000
Christians attended Saleem Masih’s funeral held at an evangelical church in
front of his home. Reportedly among those in attendance was Ejaz Alam, Punjab’s
minister on human rights and minority affairs.
Masih's killing has inspired the
social media hashtag #JusticeForSaleemMasih.

BLOG EDITOR (In Fascistbook jail since 1/20/20):
I’ve apparently been placed in restricted Facebook Jail! The restriction was
relegated after criticizing Democrats for supporting abortion in one post and
criticizing Virginia Dems for gun-grabbing legislation and levying protester
restrictions. Rather than capitulate to Facebook censorship by abandoning the
platform, I choose to post and share until the Leftist censors ban me
completely. Conservatives are a huge portion of Facebook. If more or all
Conservatives are banned, it will affect the Facebook advertising revenue
paradigm. SO FIGHT CENSORSHIP BY SHARE – SHARE – SHARE!!! Facebook
notified me in pop-up on 1/20/20: “You're temporarily restricted from joining
and posting to groups that you do not manage until April 18 at 7:04 PM.”
