Pakistan: Misunderstanders of Islam tell Christian "convert or die"
Don't the Muslims who threatened Masih Gill know that only greasy Islamophobes believe that Islam contains any imperative to offer non-Muslims conversion or death? (Subjugation as dhimmis is only an option when the state fully implements Islamic law.) No Compulsion In Religion Alert from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan: "Pakistan: Christian man goes into hiding when told 'convert or die,'" from Spero News, April 5 (thanks to Jotace):
“Convert or die”. Masih Gill, a Christian from the city of Mardan, in the province of “Khyber Pakhtunkhwa” (Northern Pakistan), was threatened with these words by a group of Muslims with whom he had been speaking, after the recent episode of the burning of the Koran in the US.
This event caused violent reactions in Pakistan (three churches attacked in a week) by Muslim extremists. Nearly one dozen UN guards were killed on April 1, while two were beheaded. Local sources say that Masih Gill simply defended his faith, saying that Christians respect all religions and do not nurture hostility towards anyone. The Muslims then threatened Gill. They also said that they would charge him before Pakistani authorities with blasphemy.
Masih Gill, who is married and has children, is now in hiding while his family is now being harbored at a safe location, thanks to the Masihi Foundation. The foundation is also defending Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who is awaiting the execution of a death sentence following her conviction on charges of blasphemy, according to Muslim law.
The city of Mardan, in fact, is harbors numerous radical Muslim groups which terrorize civilians, especially religious minorities. “His story is one of many, and a fine example of the frustrations that Christians suffer daily”, explained Haroon Masih, Director of the Masihi Foundation....
