Pakistan: “Every year at least a thousand girls are kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert to Islam”

AUG 14, 2019 4:00 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

The brutal persecution of young Christian girls in Pakistan is ongoing, and largely ignored by “feminists” and fake human rights activists, who call it “Islamophobic” to shed light on such atrocities:

The Pontifical charity, Aid to the Church in Need, is sounding the alarm on the plight of young Christian women, and even teenagers, in Pakistan who are forced to convert to Islam. “Every year at least a thousand girls are kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert to Islam, even forced to marry their tormentors,” according to Tabassum Yousaf, a Catholic lawyer linked to the St. Egidio Community.

The Catholic lawyer Tabassum Yousaf “says the West and the international media ‘can do much to safeguard religious minorities in Pakistan.’”

They certainly can, but they generally ignore the plight of these innocent people.

“Christian women forced to convert to Islam in Pakistan,” by Mario Schiavone, Newsbook, August 12, 2019:

The Pontifical charity, Aid to the Church in Need, is sounding the alarm on the plight of young Christian women, and even teenagers, in Pakistan who are forced to convert to Islam.

“Every year at least a thousand girls are kidnapped, raped, and forced to convert to Islam, even forced to marry their tormentors,” according to Tabassum Yousaf, a Catholic lawyer linked to the St. Egidio Community.

To draw attention to the issue, the papal foundation ACN is hosting a press conference in Karachi next Thursday, which will see the attendance of Cardinal Joseph Coutts and several Muslim leaders.

The phenomenon of forced conversions hits Pakistan’s religious minorities, especially Christians and Hindus.

Better legal protection

In just one case, last month, a 14-year-old Christian girl was abducted in Lahore and forced to marry her kidnapper. Police later informed her parents that a conversion certificate had been registered for her.

Though current Pakistani law sets the legal marriage age at 16 for girls, ACN is pushing for it to be changed to 18.

The Catholic charity is also advocating for better legal protections against kidnappings and forced conversions for religious minorities. Families of victims often face an uphill battle in court when taking on perpetrators of forced conversions.

Media attention

The press conference on Thursday falls close to the national Minorities Day, which was held on August 11.

Ms. Yousaf, the Catholic lawyer, says the West and the international media “can do much to safeguard religious minorities in Pakistan.”

Moslem men are basically faggot men, but they do it in secret. They only have sex with women to breed. Since most women won’t have sex with them to breed, they have to rape them to make it happen.

Those that fight for “Women’s Rights” seem not to be of the same ilk as those who fight against these kinds of atrocities. It’s not confusing to me but I could see how it could be confusing to many.

The lying and deceiving Women Rights Movement is Satanic IMO. They are not at all what they seem to be. At its feet lies the slaughter of tens of millions of unborn and born babies - the Latter-Day Infanticide. They couldn’t care less. Christian women being raped and killed. Couldn’t care less. There’s a lot of do-gooders who get on the Women’s Rights Movement bandwagon who are too gullible to realize they are supporting an utterly destructive and debouched group.

Yes. That was one of the things I was thinking about. At the time I thought he was just trying to be moral and to not target a large group of people for the sins of some. But it continued, and he was either entirely naive, ignorant, or so entrenched in his ‘proper country club’ background that he just couldn’t speak with honesty. At this point, I think it was a combination of all those things.

....The Catholic lawyer Tabassum Yousaf “says the West and the international media ‘can do much to safeguard religious minorities in Pakistan.’.....

Not our responsibility to protect people who choose to go to an Islamic country where they know full well the woman are raped and abused. The real question is why the catholic church is sending women there knowing this?

Also the House of Saud had helped make Shrub a rich man and had financially handsomely rewarded the family Bush in general and their clique of greedy insiders, vide Jim Baker.

Feminized women love Islam and its men. Islamic men think of women as goats and sheep.

Yes. All true, and all disturbing. It's funny how there are always ways to create ‘royalty’ in any society - even when the government isn't nominally a monarchy. ‘Royalty’ is always a mistake, and always either underperforms or is tyrannical. Our current ‘royalty’ are celebrities, politicians, academics, the pedigreed, the ‘connected’, and those with enough money such that they are immune to the actions of the aforementioned groups. Bush falls into the last two categories.

That any child born anywhere in the world should have their lives, their dreams, and their ultimate achievements in the world either defined by or modified by the incredibly limited and unimpressive ‘royalty’ in the world is horribly tragic. It also damages the world, holding it back.

The real divisions in the world that matter are not divisions of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic achievement. The real divisions are those predicted on who belongs to the ‘club’ and who doesn't.

Trump could have been part of ‘the club’, but he chose to go another route. That he made this choice makes him a focal point of hope for those of us who are not ‘connected’, and a focal point of hate for those who are.

Since libtards won’t denounce islam for what it is and deal with it properly, this is a great thing that’s occurring.
