SAHIWAL, PAKISTAN (Worthy News) -- An impoverished father of a young Christian woman was still knocking at the doors of Pakistan's justice system Sunday, March 1, a year after his daughter was kidnapped by Muslim gunmen who apparently tried to “convert” her to Islam.
Maqbool Masih told Worthy News and its partner news agency BosNewsLife that his daughter Noshi, 23, was abducted in March 2008 from their family home in the village of Chak 190/9-L of Sahiwal district in Punjab province. He said the Muslim men also robbed him of 50 thousands Pakistani Rupees ($ 635), a huge amount in this rural region.
"I am not sure of the present situation and condition of my daughter. I fear she is chained at an unknown location by this men who want her to embrace Islam," he added.
Masih said local police and other authorities have been reluctant to take action against "their powerful and dominant Muslim brethren." Although police eventually "registered the case" they have so far "neither arrested suspects or recovered my daughter," Masih explained.
CHRISTIAN OFFICIALS
Even Christian officials "who proclaim to be the champions of human rights and especially staunch defenders of Christian rights in Pakistan," did not help him, Masih claimed. "I knocked on the palaces of Christian ministers and top Christian clergy men but they did nothing more than giving promises."
A Christian lawyer Javed Sahotra filed a petition at a court to pressure police and other authorities to find the woman. In a reaction, the regional Javed Sahotra Sessions Court Sahiwal promised to help "recover" Masih's daughter, Worthy News learned.
The court directed the "related police officials to produce" the woman in the Sessions Court, soon. It also "promised" to help prosecute suspects in the case. Masih said he fears his financial status didn't encourage police and the justice system to act faster. "I am very poor and was not able to pay the exorbitant fees of lawyers."
There have been several kidnappings of Christian girls and women in Pakistan, amid mounting concerns among advocacy groups about growing Muslim extremism against the country's Christian minority.

What would happen if Christians started abducting young girls, raping them and then forcing them to convert, hang on Christians could not, would not do that, if it did could you imagine the Islamic outcry, there would be BLOOD, murders, suicide bombings etc. And they say being a Muslim is one of peace and Love, yes only for their own, as far as they are concerned Christians are infidels and have to be eliminated. Muslims world wide that are decent ppl should unite to end this behaviour, if they truly want to be part of society, then they have to step up and stop these kind of assaults against Christian kids, not all Muslims are like this, why don’t they stop it?. God will have his revenge, but why wait until thousands or tens of thousands of children get raped by perverts in the name of religion, after all these guys are pure pedophiles no more and no less, anyone that condones this will have to pay a price, their souls in hell for eternity a fitting result, but Muslims can do something about it, if they wanted to. May God bless the innocent, can only imagine the terror these girls are going through.
“May God bless the innocent”
Amen!
