Refuse to Convert, Pay the price…

Some have stated that at times my writing may sound irate, and to be honest I am, especially as I read of the events that are happening to Christians around the world.

If I was not angry at the atrocities happening to fellow Christians in different parts of the world, I would have to say that something would be dangerously wrong with me.

1 Corinthians 12:26-27 NIV If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. (27) Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

I would have to go further and say that if anyone who reads about these events, and is not irate and alarmed, I would then have to ask, are they even breathing, do they have a pulse? Or do they just not care as at the moment it does not affect them?

A young Christian man was raped and brutally murdered in Pakistan for refusing to convert to Islam, and police are doing nothing about it, the victim’s brother and minister told FOXNews.com. [ foxnews.com ]

If the quote above does not make one outraged and deeply saddened, I ask, do they even care what will happen to their family if this type of mentality is ever allowed here in America?

We as citizens of the United States cannot allow shariah law to ever come into existence if we want to continue to have the freedom to practice the religious belief of our choosing.

If we do not want to have the freedom to choose, then by all means embrace shariah with open arms and be ready to be persecuted if you choose to not convert, but rather stand for Christ Jesus.

The call is yours.

Now The Story

How did they torture this young man?

“They have sexually abuse him, torture him with a knife on his testicle and genitals,” Ghauri’s brother, 24-year-old Salman Nabil Ghauri, said. “They have tortured him very badly, and after that they have stabbed five times with a knife and killed him.” [ foxnews.com ]

This young man was tortured, raped and then murdered. The question that enters my mind is why did this happen?

…Cheema’s three brothers came to Litto Ghauri’s house on May 11 and gave him an ultimatum: Marry their sister and convert to Islam. Ghauri agreed to the marriage but refused to accept Islam, and the brothers kidnapped him at gunpoint and drove him to a remote farmhouse, where they tortured and murdered him[ foxnews.com ]

It happened not because of the ultimatum of marrying the sister of these three men, but he was murdered for refusing to convert to their religion. Unfortunately it seems that this is not an isolated act, but it is something that happens more often than not where Christians are the minority in a country dominated by participants of a religion that the Christian man refused to convert to.

…human rights watchdog groups say that what happened to Litto Ghauri is not uncommon because Christians in Pakistan are looked upon as the dregs of society. Pakistan’s population is 97 percent Muslim, and Christians are only a very small part of the remaining 3 percent. [ foxnews.com ]

…radical Muslims frequently try to trap Christian men into converting to Islam by using a woman as bait… [ foxnews.com ]

…”It’s common to offer things — money, women — to Christians to convert,” Bhatti said. [ foxnews.com ]

    I know in some of these countries these atrocities are even legal. Because they are committed against a non-muslim.

  2. dear Brother in Christ,
    Personally I believe that no human could torture another person this way unless they were under demonic influence– NOT the One True God of the Bible! If they do not find the TRUE LORD, Jesus Christ and repent soon– they will be in hell forever. But in this life here on earth– sometimes you just have to 'put down' a rabid dog.
