Muslim Mob Kills Wife, Children of Christian in Pakistan
Fearing local religious leader, area police refuse to file murder complaint.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, July 8 (CDN) — A Muslim mob in Jhelum, Pakistan murdered the wife and four children of a Christian last month, but local authorities are too afraid of the local Muslim leader to file charges, according to area Muslim and Christian sources.
Jamshed Masih, a police officer who was transferred 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Gujrat to Jhelum, Punjab Province, said a mob led by Muslim religious leader Maulana Mahfooz Khan killed his family on June 21 after Khan called him to the local mosque and told him to leave the predominantly Muslim colony. Jhelum is 85 kilometers (53 miles) south of Islamabad.
"You must leave with your family, no non-Muslim has ever been allowed to live in this colony – we want to keep our colony safe from scum," Khan told Masih, the bereaved Christian told Compass.
Masih had moved to Mustafa Colony in Jhelum with his wife, two sons and two daughters and were living in a rented house. Masih said that a Muslim neighbor, Ali Murtaza, told him that area Muslims notified Khan, telling the religious leader, "We cannot allow these non-Muslims to live here, they will be a bad influence on our children."
An anxious Masih told his wife Razia Jamshed about the local Muslim response, and they decided to bring their concern to the pastor of a local Presbyterian church, Saleem Mall.
"Pastor Saleem said, 'I will also advise you to vacate the house, as it can be dangerous living there – these people can harm your family," Masih said.
Masih's neighbor, Murtaza, confirmed to Compass the response of the local Muslims and related incidents that led up to the murders. Murtaza told Compass that after Masih went to work at 7 a.m. on June 21, his children could be heard singing hymns before breakfast.
"Razia sent their eldest son to buy a packet of Surf [detergent], and he was singing a hymn on his way to buy the Surf," Murtaza said.
Neighbors saw Masih's s 11-year-old son come into the store, he said. The shopkeeper asked him if he was a Christian; the child responded that he was.
"The shopkeeper refused to give him the packet of Surf and spoke very harshly to him, 'I don't sell to any non-Muslim, you are not welcome here, don't you dare ever come to my shop again,'" Murtaza said.
The boy went home, upset, and told his mother about the encounter; she grew worried and called her husband, saying, "Jamshed, please come home quickly, the kids and I are very worried, we must leave this house today," Masih said.
His neighbor, Murtaza, said that shortly afterward some area residents came to the door with the Muslim religious leader, Khan.
"Your son has committed blasphemy against Muhammad, our beloved prophet – we can't allow him to live, he should be punished," Khan told Razia Masih, Murtaza said. "Razia got scared and said, 'My son couldn't do such a thing, he is only 11 years old.'"
Khan became furious and said, "Are we lying to you? You call us liars, how dare you insult us," Murtaza said. "Someone from the crowd hit something hard on her head, and she started bleeding. The children started crying and shouted for help. Razia kept shouting for help, 'Please have mercy on us, please let my husband come, then we can talk.'"
Jamshed Masih said his daughter telephoned police as the mob attacked his wife and children. He said he later learned that "the people kept shouting, 'This family has committed blasphemy, they should be killed."
Before police arrived, his family was murdered, he said.
Murtaza said Masih rushed home and was devastated to find the dead bodies of his wife and four children.
When Masih tried to file a complaint against Khan for the murder, Station House Officer (SHO) Ramzan Mumtaz refused to do so, according to Murtaza and Mall, the Presbyterian clergyman.
"He said, 'Khan is an influential man, and he said your son has committed blasphemy – we cannot do anything against him,'" Mall said.
Murtaza added, "The SHO just said, 'I am a poor man, I have a family, and I was pressured by higher authorities not to register the FIR [First Information Report] as Khan is a very influential man. I am sorry, I don't have anything in my hands.'"
Contacted by Compass, SHO Mumtaz confirmed that he responded to the request to file the complaint against Khan in these exact words.
Masih has filed a complaint with the chief minister of Punjab Province begging him for justice, Mall told Compass.
"We condemn this brutal murder of innocent children in the name of Islam," Mall said. "This has to stop now. We appeal to the government to let us live in peace."

Christian Professor in Pakistan Beaten for Refusing to Convert
In another province, three eighth-grade students expelled for declining Islam.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan, June 25 (CDN) — Muslim students attacked a Christian professor at the University of Peshawar this month after he refused their demand to convert to Islam, the instructor told Compass.
Psychology professor Samuel John, a father of four who has been teaching at the university in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province for 12 years, said that as he came out of his house on the university campus at 8:30 a.m. on June 14, about 20 to 25 students rushed and assaulted him.
"I shouted for help, but no one came to help," he said.
When his wife learned what was happening, she ran to help him, but the students beat her as well. Both John and his wife were rushed to Lady Reading hospital, where they were treated for their injuries, with John listed in critical condition.
"I am still getting threats," the professor told Compass. "They say, 'Leave the university or accept Islam – if you don't convert, we will kill your family."
Police have refused to register a First Information Report on the incident, he said.
A group of five students had visited John on May 15, he said.
"They said, 'Professor, you are a good teacher and a good human being, please convert to Islam and we will provide you with everything you need,'" John said. "I was surprised and said, 'Why do you want me to convert? I am a Christian, and Jesus Christ is my Savior – He provides me with everything."
One of the students became angry, saying, "Don't forget that you are a family man," John said. "I said, 'I am not scared of anyone, God will protect me and my family.'"
He reported the matter to the dean of the University of Peshawar, but the official was unable to take any action because the Islamic students councils are supported by political parties and powerful Islamic groups, the professor said.
His family became worried, and other professors spoke of going on strike on John's behalf, demanding an apology from the students who threatened him.
"They said, 'This is a university, no one will be allowed to take the law in their hands – we are professors and teach everyone and do not discriminate by religion, caste, creed or color,'" John said.
But no action was taken against anyone. John subsequently faced various forms of harassment from different Islamic student groups who threw stones at his home, sent threatening letters and threatened his family over the phone, he said.
John had recently been honored with an award for best results in psychology at colleges throughout Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. Muslim professors and Muslim student councils were upset that a Christian professor was getting so much attention, Christian sources said.
Students Pressured
Separately, in Danna village in southern Punjab Province, Muslim administrators told three Christian students in the eighth grade to leave the school because they refused to convert to Islam.
A new teacher of Islamic Studies who came from another village to Government High School Danna urged students in his class, Sunil Masih, Shazia Masih and Nasir Naeem, to convert to Islam, according to the father of Sunil, Ejaz Masih.
The teacher, whom the parents declined to name, is also a Muslim leader.
"The teacher began by saying, 'Sunil, Shazia and Nasir, convert to Islam – it is the true religion, and you will go straight to heaven," Ejaz Masih said.
The students reported the pressure to their parents, who came to the school and complained to the principal.
The principal asked the teacher to explain the details of what happened, but other staff members at the school supported the new teacher, Masih said. On June 16, under pressure from other teachers, the principal told the parents to remove their children from the school unless they were willing to convert to Islam.
"We have been forced to leave the village," Masih said. "The police have refused to help us. We are helpless here."
Masih, along with Sohail Masih and Naeem Boota, parents of the other children, have fled the village with their families. Their children were the only Christian students at the school.

Church Closure in Indonesia Called Unconstitutional at Hearing
Representative for HKBP congregation in West Java tells court sealing was illegal.
JAKARTA, Indonesia, June 18 (CDN) — In a hearing in its lawsuit against a local government, a representative for a church that Bekasi, West Java officials summarily closed earlier this year told an administrative court that the action was unconstitutional.
The Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) Filadelfia church had filed a lawsuit on March 30 against the local government for its Jan. 12 sealing of the building under construction. Regent H. Sa'adudin on April 12 issued a decree to cease worship and other activities.
At a court hearing on June 2, the coordinator of the litigation team, Thomas Tampubolon, explained that the regent's decree of Dec. 31, 2009 to seal the building conflicted with Indonesia's 1945 constitution. He said the decree violated Article 28 of the constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion.
"It also violates Article 29, which guarantees freedom of worship, and Law No. 39 (1999) concerning human rights," Tampubolon said as he read the suit to an administrative court.
Tampubolon said that the decree also violated 2006 Joint Ministerial Decree No. 9 regarding the role of regional administrators in maintaining harmony between religious groups and in the construction of houses of worship.
Lastly, he said that the regent's decree violated the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Indonesia ratified in 2005. The legal team requested that the Bandung Administrative Court issue an injunction staying the decree of the Bekasi regent.
Additionally, the team requested that the regent's order be rescinded and that he be ordered to process the building permit request and to grant permission to construct a house of worship in accordance with current regulations.
Deddy Rohendi, a member of the regency defense team, replied that Tampubolon's claims were false, and he requested that the court dismiss the suit.
"The regent's decree was legal," Rohendi said.
As the judges are considering the HKBP Filadelfia's case, they are expected to travel to the village to interview citizens about the church building.
A member of the legal team who is also a member of the church, Parasian Hutasoit, said that the Filadelfia congregation was very upset with the Department of Religion and the Interfaith Harmony Forum because neither had acted upon the request for permission to build which was submitted on April 2, 2008.
"Our application has not been acted upon, and suddenly our church is sealed without clear reason," he said.
Hutasoit said he regretted that the church had been forced to resort to court action. He added that he hopes the suit will force the government to show more care regarding the problem of places of worship and ensure the rights of groups such as HKBP Filadelfia that have obtained the required signatures of local people.
Prior to the hearing, Muslim opponents harassed the church's Sunday worship, demonstrating against it on May 30, as they have on past occasions.
The group of women and children said they were from the Islamic Communications Forum of Jejalan Raya village. They gathered at 8 a.m. in order to hinder church members from worshipping in the area in front of the sealed building.
The Rev. Palti Panjaitan explained that the demonstration lasted about 15 minutes, ceasing after a community leader from Jejalan Raya village told the demonstrators they were causing a disturbance. Worship for the church is normally from 9 to 11 a.m.
"Only the building committee and the church leaders had come," said Panjaitan.
He recounted that on May 27 the church learned a mob was going to demonstrate the next day and notified police.
"Apparently the demonstrators thought that because Friday was a holiday, we would have services," Panjaitan said. "Actually, we did not have anything."
He wished that the police would be more proactive about demonstrations. "As for the demonstrators, what more do they want? We have been forced to worship under the sky, on newspapers, in front of our sealed church, and they still demonstrate against us," Panjaitan concluded.
On Jan. 3, a mob unrolled mats and sat in front of the church. "They wanted to keep us from worshipping," Panjaitan said.
Seal Order
The Filadelfia Church was founded in April 2000 by Batak families in four village divisions in the North Bekasi area. They held Sunday worship in different homes on a rotating basis.
Citizens from the Islamic Communications Forum of Jejalan Raya village were disturbed by these house services. After the house services were banned, the congregation searched for a piece of land on which to build.
On June 15, 2007, HKBP Filadelfia was able to purchase land from a woman identified only as Sumiati. The Christians told her that they wished to build a church on the property, and Sumiati and her heirs signed affidavits stating that they agreed to this use. The Bekasi government issued the deed on Sept. 26, 2007.
After the purchase, the church began collecting signatures of local citizens in order to satisfy the requirements of 2006 Joint Ministerial Decrees No. 8 and No. 9 requiring at least 90 Christians and at least 60 non-Christians agreeing to construct a church building.
The church quickly obtained the required signatures, and on April 2, 2008 the head of Jejalan Raya village issued a letter recommending that the congregation be given a building permit. The letter was addressed to the Regent of Bekasi with copies to the Department of Religion, the Interfaith Harmony Forum and the District Officer of Tambun Utara (a sub-district of Bekasi).
Since then, nothing has been done. No building permit has been issued. Since Jan. 12 the Bekasi Regency Government has sealed the temporary building the church had been using. As a result, the congregation has been holding services in front of the building fence in the open air.
Umbrellas protect them from the tropical sun, where temperatures often reach 33 degrees Celsius (92 degrees Fahrenheit), and occasional rainstorms hit.
Egyptian Couple Shot by Muslim Extremists Undaunted in Ministry
Left for dead, Christians offer to drop charges if allowed to construct church building.
CAIRO, Egypt, June 9 (CDN) — Rasha Samir was sure her husband, Ephraim Shehata, was dead.
He was covered with blood, had two bullets inside him and was lying facedown in the dust of a dirt road. Samir was lying on top of him doing her best to shelter him from the onslaught of approaching gunmen.
With arms outstretched, the men surrounded Samir and Shehata and pumped off round after round at the couple. Seconds before, Samir could hear her husband mumbling Bible verses. But one bullet had pierced his neck, and now he wasn't moving. In a blind terror, Samir tried desperately to stop her panicked breathing and convincingly lie still, hoping the gunmen would go away.
Finally, the gunfire stopped and one of the men spoke. "Let's go. They're dead."
'Break the Hearts'
On the afternoon of Feb. 27, lay pastor Shehata and his wife Samir were ambushed on a desolate street by a group of Islamic gunmen outside the village of Teleda in Upper Egypt.
The attack was meant to "break the hearts of the Christians" in the area, Samir said.
The attackers shot Shehata twice, once in the stomach through the back, and once in the neck. They shot Samir in the arm. Both survived the attack, but Shehata is still in the midst of a difficult recovery. The shooters have since been arrested and are in jail awaiting trial. A trial cannot begin until Shehata has recovered enough to attend court proceedings.
Despite this trauma, being left with debilitating injuries, more than 85,000 Egyptian pounds (US$14,855) in medical bills and possible long-term unemployment, Shehata is willing to drop all criminal charges against his attackers – and avoid what could be a very embarrassing trial for the nation – if the government will stop blocking Shehata from constructing a church building.
Before Shehata was shot, one of the attackers pushed him off his motorcycle and told him he was going to teach him a lesson about "running around" or being an active Christian.
Because of his ministry, the 34-year-old Shehata, a Coptic Orthodox Christian, was arguably the most visible Christian in his community. When he wasn't working as a lab technician or attending legal classes at a local college, he was going door-to-door among Christians to encourage them in any way he could. He also ran a community center and medical clinic out of a converted two-bedroom apartment. His main goal, he said, was to "help Christians be strong in their faith."
The center, open now for five years, provided much-needed basic medical services for surrounding residents for free, irrespective of their religion. The center also provided sewing training and a worksite for Christian women so they could gain extra income. Before the center was open in its present location, he ran similar services out of a relative's apartment.
"We teach them something that can help them with the future, and when they get married they can have some way to work and it will help them get money for their families," Shehata said.
Additionally, the center was used to teach hygiene and sanitation basics to area residents, a vital service to a community that uses well water that is often polluted or full of diseases. Along with these services, Shehata and his wife ran several development projects, repairing the roofs of shelters for poor people, installing plumbing, toilets and electrical systems. The center also distributed free food to the elderly and the infirm.
The center has been run by donations and nominal fees used to pay the rent for the apartment. Shehata has continued to run the programs as aggressively as he can, but he said that even before the shooting that the center was barely scraping by.
"We have no money to build or improve anything," he said. "We have a safe, but no money to put in it."
Tense Atmosphere
In the weeks before the shooting, Teleda and the surrounding villages were gripped with fear.
Christians in the community had been receiving death threats by phone after a Muslim man died during an attack on a Christian couple. On Feb. 2, a group of men in nearby Samalout tried to abduct a Coptic woman from a three-wheeled motorcycle her husband was driving. The husband, Zarif Elia, punched one of the attackers in the nose. The Muslim, Basem Abul-Eid, dropped dead on the spot.
Elia was arrested and charged with murder. An autopsy later revealed that the man died of a heart attack, but local Muslims were incensed.
Already in the spotlight for his ministry activities, Shehata heightened his profile when he warned government officials that Christians were going to be attacked, as they had been in Farshout and Nag Hammadi the previous month. He also gave an interview to a human rights activist that was posted on numerous Coptic websites. Because of this, government troops were deployed to the town, and extremists were unable to take revenge on local Christians – but only after almost the
entire Christian community was placed under house arrest.
"They chose me," Shehata said, "Because they thought I was the one serving everybody, and I was the one who wrote the government telling them that Muslims were going to set fire to the Christian houses because of the death."
Because of his busy schedule, Shehata and Samir, 27, were only able to spend Fridays and part of every Saturday together in a village in Samalut, where Shehata lives. Every Saturday after seeing Samir, Shehata would drive her back through Teleda to the village where she lives, close to her family. Samalut is a town approximately 105 kilometers (65 miles) south of Cairo.
On the afternoon of Feb. 27, Shehata and his wife were on a motorcycle on a desolate stretch of hard-packed dirt road. Other than a few scattered farming structures, there was nothing near the road but the Nile River on one side, and open fields dotted with palm trees on the other.
Shehata approached a torn-up section of the road and slowed down. A man walked up to the vehicle carrying a big wooden stick and forced him to stop. Shehata asked the man what was wrong, but he only pushed Shehata off the motorcycle and told him, "I'm going to stop you from running around," Samir recounted.
Shehata asked the man to let Samir go. "Whatever you are going to do, do it to me," he told the man.
The man didn't listen and began hitting Shehata on the leg with the stick. As Shehata stumbled, Samir screamed for the man to leave them alone. The man lifted the stick again, clubbed Shehata once more on the leg and knocked him to the ground. As Shehata struggled to get up, the man took out a pistol, leveled it at Shehata's back and squeezed the trigger.
Samir started praying and screaming Jesus' name. The man turned toward her, raised the pistol once more, squeezed off another round, and shot Samir in the arm. Samir looked around and saw a few men running toward her, but her heart sank when she realized they had come not to help them but to join the assault.
Samir jumped on top of Shehata, rolled on to her back and started begging her attackers for their lives, but the men, now four in all, kept firing. Bullets were flying everywhere.
"I was scared. I thought I was going to die and that the angels were going to come and get our spirits," Samir said. "I started praying, 'Please God, forgive me, I'm a sinner and I am going to die.'"
Samir decided to play dead. She leaned back toward her husband, closed her eyes, went limp and tried to stop breathing. She said she felt that Shehata was dying underneath her.
"I could hear him saying some of the Scriptures, the one about the righteous thief [saying] 'Remember me when you enter Paradise,'" she said. "Then a bullet went through his neck, and he stopped saying anything."
Samir has no way of knowing how much time passed, but eventually the firing stopped. After she heard one of the shooters say, "Let's go, they're dead," moments later she opened her eyes and the men were gone. When she lifted her head, she heard her husband moan.
Unlikely Survival
When Shehata arrived at the hospital, his doctors didn't think he would survive. He had lost a tremendous amount of blood, a bullet had split his kidney in two, and the other bullet was lodged in his neck, leaving him partially paralyzed.
His heartbeat was so faint it couldn't be detected. He was also riddled with a seemingly limitless supply of bullet fragments throughout his body.
Samir, though seriously injured, had fared much better than Shehata. The bullet went into her arm but otherwise left her uninjured. When she was shot, Samir was wearing a maternity coat. She wasn't pregnant, but the couple had bought the coat in hopes she soon would be. Samir said she thinks the gunman who shot her thought he had hit her body, instead of just her arm.
The church leadership in Samalut was quickly informed about the shooting and summoned the best doctors they could, who quickly traveled to help Shehata and Samir. By chance, the hospital had a large supply of blood matching Shehata's blood type because of an elective surgical procedure that was cancelled. The bullets were removed, and his kidney was repaired. The doctors however, were forced to leave many of the bullet fragments in Shehata's body.
As difficult as it was to piece Shehata's broken body back together, it paled in comparison with the recovery he had to suffer through. He endured multiple surgeries and was near death several times during his 70 days of hospitalization.
Early on, Shehata was struck with a massive infection. Also, because part of his internal tissue was cut off from its blood supply, it literally started to rot inside him. He began to swell and was in agony.
"I was screaming, and they brought the doctors," Shehata said. The doctors decided to operate immediately.
When a surgeon removed one of the clamps holding Shehata's abdomen together, the intense pressure popped off most of the other clamps. Surgeons removed some stomach tissue, part of his colon and more than a liter of infectious liquid.
Shehata could not eat normally and lost 35 kilograms (approximately 77 lbs.). He also couldn't evacuate his bowels for at least 11 days, his wife said.
Despite the doctors' best efforts, infections continued to rage through Shehata's body, accompanied by alarming spikes in body temperature.
Eventually, doctors sent him to a hospital in Cairo, where he spent a week under treatment. A doctor there prescribed a different regimen of antibiotics that successfully fought the infection and returned Shehata's body temperature to normal.
Shehata is recovering at home now, but he still has a host of medical problems. He has to take a massive amount of painkillers and is essentially bedridden. He cannot walk without assistance, is unable to move the fingers on his left hand and cannot eat solid food. In approximately two months he will undergo yet another surgery that, if all goes well, will allow him to use the bathroom normally.
"Even now I can't walk properly, and I can't lift my leg more than 10 or 20 centimeters. I need someone to help me just to pull up my underwear," Shehata said. "I can move my arm, but I can't move my fingers."
Samir does not complain about her condition or that of Shehata. Instead, she sees the fact that she and her husband are even alive as a testament to God's faithfulness. She said she thinks God allowed them to be struck with the bullets that injured them but pushed away the bullets that would have killed them.
"There were lots of bullets being shot, but they didn't hit us, only three or four," she said. "Where are the others?"
Even in the brutal process of recovery, Samir found cause for thanks. In the beginning, Shehata couldn't move his left arm, but now he can. "Thank God and thank Jesus, it was His blessing to us," Samir said. "We were kind of dead, now we are alive."
Still, Samir admits that sometimes her faith waivers. She is facing the possibility that Shehata might not work for some time, if ever. The couple owes the 85,000 Egyptian pounds (US$14,855) in medical bills, and continuing their ministry at the center and in the surrounding villages will be difficult at best.
"I am scared now, more so than during the shooting," she said. "Ephraim said do not be afraid, it is supposed to make us stronger."
So Samir prays for strength for her husband to heal and for patience. In the meantime, she said she looks forward to the day when the struggles from the shooting are over and she can look back and see how God used it to shape them.
"There is a great work the Lord is doing in our lives, we may not know what the reason is now, but maybe some day we will," Samir said.
Government Opposition
For the past 10 years, Shehata has tried to erect a church building, or at a minimum a house, that he could use as a dedicated community center. But local Muslims and Egypt's State Security Investigations (SSI) agency have blocked him every step of the way. He had, until the shooting happened, all but given up on constructing the church building.
On numerous occasions, Shehata has been stopped from holding group prayer meetings after people complained to the SSI. In one incident, a man paid by a land owner to watch a piece of property near the community center complained to the SSI that Shehata was holding prayer meetings at the facility. The SSI made Shehata sign papers stating he wouldn't hold prayer meetings at the center.
At one time, Shehata had hoped to build a house to use as a community center on property that had been given to him for that purpose. Residents spread a rumor that he was actually erecting a church building, and police massed at the property to prevent him from doing any construction.
There is no church in the town where Shehata lives or in the surrounding villages. Shehata admits he would like to put up a church building on the donated property but says it is impossible, so he doesn't even try.
In Egypt constructing or even repairing a church building can only be done after a complex government approval process. In effect, it makes it impossible to build a place for Christian worship. By comparison, the construction of mosques is encouraged through a system of subsidies.
"It is not allowed to build a church in Egypt," Shehata said. "We can't build a house. We can't build a community center. And we can't build a church."
Because of this, Shehata and his wife organize transportation from surrounding villages to St. Mark's Cathedral in Samalut for Friday services and sacraments. Because of the lack of transportation options, the congregants are forced to ride in a dozen open-top cattle cars.
"We take them not in proper cars or micro-buses, but trucks – the same trucks we use to move animals," he said.
The trip is dangerous. A year ago a man fell out of one of the trucks onto the road and died. Shehata said bluntly that Christians are dying in Egypt because the government won't allow them to construct church buildings.
"I feel upset about the man who died on the way going to church," he said.
Church-for-Charges Swap
The shooters who attacked Shehata and Samir are in jail awaiting trial. The couple has identified each of the men, but even if they hadn't, finding them for arrest was not a difficult task. The village the attackers came from erupted in celebration when they heard the pastor and his wife were dead.
Shehata now sees the shooting as a horrible incident that can be turned to the good of the believers he serves. He said he finds it particularly frustrating that numerous mosques have sprouted up in his community and surrounding areas during the 10 years he has been prevented from putting up a church building, or even a house. There are two mosques alone on the street of the man who died while being trucked to church services, he said.
Shehata has decided to forgo justice in pursuit of an opportunity to finally construct a church building. He has approached the SSI through church leaders, saying that if he is allowed to construct a church building, then he will take no part in the criminal prosecution of the shooters.
"I have told the security forces through the priests that I will drop the case if they can let us build the church on the piece of land," he said.
The proposal isn't without possibilities. His trial has the potential of being internationally embarrassing. It raises questions about fairness in Egyptian society during an upcoming presidential election that will be watched by the world.
Regardless of what happens, Shehata said all he wants is peace and for the rights of Christians to be respected. He said that in Egypt, Christians have less value than the "birds of the air" mentioned in the Bible. According to Luke 12:6, five sparrows sold for two pennies in ancient times.
"We are not to be killed like birds, slaughtered," he said. "We are human."
Pakistani Islamists Keep Two Newlywed Couples from Home
Armed Muslims upset that Christians complained to police of false 'blasphemy' charge.
KARACHI, Pakistan, May 27 (CDN) — Islamists armed with pistols and rifles waited for two Christian couples to return to their rented home this week, seeking to kill them after the newlyweds complained to police that the radical Muslims had falsely accused them of desecrating the Quran, according to a local Christian legislator.
Christians Atiq Joseph and Qaiser William and their wives, who requested anonymity, went to an undisclosed location after Christians in Gulshan-e-Iqbal town, Karachi, warned them that the armed Muslims were stationed in front of their joint home on Friday (May 21), said Saleem Khurshid Khokhar, a representative of Sindh in the Punjab Provincial Assembly.
"These 10 unidentified, armed Muslim men were still patrolling in front of the houses of Atiq Joseph and Qaiser William, waiting for them to return and shoot them to death," Khokhar told Compass earlier this week.
The Christians were returning from having tried to file a complaint against the Islamists at Peer Ilahi Bakhsh police station of Gulshan-e-Iqbal town – where Muslim police responded by shouting angry obscenities at the couples and began secretly planning to charge them under Pakistan's widely condemned "blasphemy" laws, Khokhar said. Both couples were wed on April 2.
Earlier that day (May 21), about 20 Muslim extremists had threatened to kill the Christian couples after accusing them of desecrating the Quran, the legislator said. Having just moved into the joint home in a predominantly Christian slum, the previous day the couples had gathered a large pile of garbage after cleaning up debris, including pieces of old newspapers, left by the previous tenants.
On Friday (May 21), after Joseph and William had left for work, their wives threw the debris onto the pile of garbage, Khokhar said. An area resident, Bashir Pervezi, told Compass that a door of their home was open and anyone passing by could see the women at their household work.
"I was standing in front of the new Christian tenants' house while 20 bearded, armed Muslim men arrived and started searching for something in the garbage," Pervezi said. "After about 35 minutes of searching, they started shouting at the women and hurling threats of dire consequences, threats of killing family members for desecrating the holy pages of Quran and Hadith [words and deeds of Islam's prophet, Muhammad] by dumping them onto waste."
The two housewives went out and read every scrap of paper, said Pervezi, but they found no pages of the Quran or the Hadith, said both Pervezi and Khokhar.
The women did their best to reason with the armed Muslims, who only continued to insist that the new Christian tenants had desecrated the pages of the Quran and the Hadith, Khokhar said.
"The armed Muslim men who had arrived from an unknown place terrorized both Christian women by threatening that they should prepare to face death for desecration of the pages of the holy Quran and the holy Hadith," Khokhar said.
Local Christian residents told Khokhar as well as Compass that they found no pages or excerpts of Quranic verses or of the Hadith. The area Christians confirmed Khokhar's assertion that the armed Muslims went away hurling threats. The women immediately informed their husbands of the confrontation.
Joseph and William consulted with local residents and decided to go to the police station for justice and protection. When they and their wives submitted an application to register a case against the 20 Islamic extremists for threatening them and leveling false allegations of desecrating the Quran and Hadith, the station house officer (SHO) and other Muslim police officers became furious, the couples told Compass.
Police began to shout obscenities at them, they said. A sympathetic police officer aware of their innocence notified them that the SHO was secretly planning to register a First Information Report against them under Article 295-A of the blasphemy law – hurting religious feelings, which can bring life in prison – and would put them in jail, Khokhar said. The officer told them to hurry away.
As the couples made their way home, Christian residents warned them that 10 Muslims armed with pistols, Kalashnikovs and long-range rifles were waiting for them and kept them from returning home, Khokhar said.
The two couples went to an undisclosed location to avoid danger.
The SHO at the Peer Ilahi Bakhsh police station was unavailable for comment; after Compass made repeated requests to speak with him, a police station registrar said that the SHO could not comment because he was ill in the hospital.
Khokhar called on the government to immediately repeal all discriminatory laws, including the controversial blasphemy laws – 295-A for injuring religious feelings, 295-B for defiling the Quran and 295-C for blaspheming Muhammad – as they have often been misused by fanatical Muslims against Christians.
Maximum punishment for violation of Section 295-A, as well as for Section 295-B (defiling the Quran), is life imprisonment; for violating Section 295-C the maximum punishment is death, though life imprisonment is also possible.

Pakistani Christians' Employer Has Them Illegally Arrested
Upset with their objections to discrimination, factory owner uses police to beat them.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, May 12 (CDN) — Police illegally detained three Christians on false charges of alcohol possession in Sialkot last week at the request of their Muslim employer.
The men – garment factory workers Atif Masih, Kamran Masih and Naveed Gill – said they had objected to their boss demanding they work on Sundays. Factory owner Rana Ejaz promptly accused them of selling alcohol, which is forbidden to Muslims in Pakistan and illegal to sell without a permit.
On May 4 the station house officer of Paka Garah, Sialkot, arrested the three Christians even though Ejaz had filed neither a First Information Report nor registered a written complaint, the Christians said.
"We went to the factory for work at 9 a.m. on May 4, and at around 11 a.m. we were arrested by the SHO [station house officer]," Atif Masih said. "We were severely beaten and asked to give a false statement that we sold alcohol."
Authorities released them after three days when local human rights groups charged that they had been illegally detained.
Paka Garah police SHO Zulfiqar Ali refused to comment after their release. Previously he had said, "We arrested the three from the factory, and they confessed that they sell alcohol." Parents of the three Christians denied the charge, asserting that their sons had been falsely accused.
Factory owner Rana Ejaz reportedly said, "I did all this on the advice of the SHO, Zulfiqar, so that I could terminate the Christian workers."
Kamran Masih said Ejaz seemed to object to the crosses the Christians wore since they began work at the factory last year.
"He didn't say it, but he used to look at the cross with strange looks," Kamran Masih said. "Then since February, he said that no one will be allowed to wear a cross at work."
In March Ejaz began demanding that only the Christian employees come to work on Sundays, Kamran Masih said.
"No other Christians raised any voice," he said. "We were the only ones to stand up and ask for permission to go to church on Sundays, but he threatened us with dire consequences."
Their local priest, the Rev. Illyas Mall, said he had known the three families for more than 40 years.
"None of their family members have ever been involved in anything illegal," he said.
Likewise a friend of the three Christians who spoke on condition of anonymity said they had never touched alcohol and were detained only because Ejaz is a good friend of the SHO, "so he got them illegally detained and tortured."

Pakistani Muslims Abduct Young Christian Woman, Family Says
Mother beaten on two occasions for trying to recover her; police refuse to prosecute.
LAHORE, Pakistan, May 6 (CDN) — Muslims who kidnapped and forcibly converted an 18-year-old Christian woman to Islam severely beat her mother on two occasions to discourage her from trying to recover her daughter, lawyers said.
Muhammad Akhter and Muhammad Munir on April 25 broke into the home of 50-year-old widow Fazeelat Bibi while her sons were at work and beat her because they were upset at her continuous demands that they return her daughter Saira, Christian Lawyers Foundation (CLF) leaders told Compass.
CLF President Khalid Gill said that neighbors' calls to the police emergency number went unheeded as the men beat her in Lahore's predominantly Muslim Bostaan Colony.
On April 18 Muhammad Akhter and members of his family had beaten her with clubs and ripped her clothes when the widow, having received a tearful phone call from her kidnapped daughter that day, went to their house to argue for her release.
In Saira's telephone call to her mother, received at the house of Muslim neighbor Musarat Bibi, who is a constable, the young woman was crying as she said that Munir and Akhter were spreading false rumors that she had eloped with Munir, Fazeelat said. She said her daughter told her how Munir, Akhter and Munir's sister Billo Bibi had kidnapped her, stolen the jewelry of her dowry, forced her to convert to Islam and were pressuring her to marry Munir.
At the time she was kidnapped on March 10, Saira was engaged to a young Christian man of Youhanabad, a large Christian slum on the outskirts of Lahore, Fazeelat Bibi said.
"Saira's brothers and I were very joyful because we were about to fix her wedding date," she said.
Previously the radical Muslim family lived next door to the Christian family. On March 10 Munir, who is Akhter's uncle, came to the Christian family's home and told Saira that her mother was ill at her hospital workplace and wanted to see her immediately, Fazeelat Bibi said.
"Then Muhammad Munir deceitfully abducted Saira," she said. "It seemed as if Saira had vanished into thin air. At first my three sons and I sons searched for Saira, but our efforts were futile."
She accused Munir, Akhter and Munir's sister Billo Bibi of kidnapping her daughter. They have continued to threaten to kill her if she persists in trying to recover her daughter, she said. Her daughter, she added, has called her "persistently" from Charrar village saying that she has been kidnapped, forced to convert to Islam and is being pressured to marry Munir against her will.
"This also reveals that Saira has not tied the knot with Munir yet," Gill told Compass.
The distraught mother said she approached Kotlakhpat Police Station Inspector Rana Shafiq seeking help to recover her daughter, but that he flatly refused. The inspector told her the issue could be resolved at the local Bostaan Colony meeting, she said; the rulings of such a meeting of local elders, known as a Punchayat, have the equivalent of court authority in Pakistan.
Fazeelat Bibi said that several such meetings produced no resolution to her daughter's kidnapping, but that while present she heard the false rumor that her daughter had wed Munir. At the meetings she also learned that the Muslim men were keeping Saira at Charrar village outside Lahore.
Fazeelat Bibi told Gill and CLF Secretary Azhar Kaleem said that she was somewhat satisfied to learn at the meetings that her daughter was at least safe, but her relief vanished after the April 18 call from Saira. Her daughter told her that she had tried to escape three times, she said.
Once again the frail, 50-year-old woman sought the help of Inspector Shafiq, and again he refused to help, the CLF leaders said. Gill and Kaleem said that Shafiq was explicitly inclined to favor his fellow Muslims in the case, and that he told her to move to a Christian slum as no one would help her in Bostaan Colony.
Gill, who is also head of the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance in Punjab Province, and CLF Secretary Kaleem said they believe that Akhter, Munir and Billo Bibi had heavily bribed the inspector to keep him from prosecuting the Muslims.
Shafiq declined to respond to Compass calls, and the registrar of the Kotlakhpat police station, Abdul Qayyum, said Shafiq was not available for comment.
Saira was just 2 months old when her father, Pervaiz Masih, died and her mother and three brothers moved from their native Yansonabad village to Lahore in search of a better life, Fazeelat Bibi said. She said that she began working as a sanitary worker at a hospital in order to support them, while her sons began working as day-laborers when they reached their teenage years.
Saira is her only daughter, Fazeelat Bibi said.

Buddhist Extremists Drive Christians from Village in Bangladesh
Villagers upset with establishment of church break up prayer meetings, invade homes.
DHAKA, Bangladesh, May 3 (CDN) — Four Christian families in southeastern Bangladesh left their village yesterday under mounting pressure by Buddhist extremists to give up their faith in Christ.
Sources told Compass that 20 to 25 Buddhists brandishing sticks and bamboo clubs in Jamindhonpara village, 340 kilometres (211 miles) southeast of Dhaka, began patrolling streets on Friday (April 30) to keep the 11 members of the Lotiban Baptist Church from gathering for their weekly prayer meetings. On Saturday, the Buddhist extremists captured four men and beat one woman who had gathered in a home, threatening to kill them if they did not become Buddhists within 24 hours.
Yesterday, the Buddhist extremists attacked the homes of the Baptists two hours before their 1 p.m. worship service, sources said.
"Just two hours before our church service, a group of people swooped into our houses and drove all of us out so we could not attend the church service," said one church member who requested anonymity.
The Christians captured Saturday night were released after the extremists, who ripped crosses off the walls of their homes, threatened to kill them if they continued praying and worshipping in the area. After yesterday's attacks, all Christians in Jamindhonpara fled, taking shelter in another village, source said. Jamindhonpara is located in the Lotiban area, Panchari sub-district of Khagrachari district.
"When they come, they do not listen to us," said the church member. "They arbitrarily do whatever they like. The situation is indescribable – they hunt us down the same way that one hunts down a mad dog to kill it."
On Saturday the Buddhist villagers chanted anti-Christian slogans as they formed a procession that snaked through the village.
"They chanted in the demonstration, 'We will not allow any Christian to live in this area,' 'We will not allow them to build a church here,' and 'Christians cannot live in Buddhists' areas,'" said one source. "We did not inform the police or army. Informing them is very dangerous. They could even kill us if we complained about them to police and army or the local administration."
Local Buddhists were infuriated when Christians established a church in the Lotiban area in December; since then, they have been trying to stop all Christian activities. In the campaign to uproot Christianity, they have tried to expel the pastor of Lotiban Baptist Church by means of various threats, source said.
One of the Christians who fled yesterday, 65-year-old Biraj Kumar Chakma, told Compass that they would not go back to Buddhism whatever pressure might come.
"We left everything," Chakma said. "We can go through any kind of ordeal, but we will not leave Jesus, even in the face of death. I have not seen in my life a book like the Bible. To stick to it, I left my ancestral house under huge pressure of the Buddhists. They applied much force to give up our faith."
Chakma said that since his daughter became a Christian, she has not been able to live in the village.
"She is living in a hideout for her safety," he said.
The Rev. Sushil Jibon Tripura, president of Khagrachari district Baptist Fellowship Church, told Compass that the daily life of the Christian villagers has become intolerable, as they have sacrificed their livelihood for their faith.
"Buddhists are not giving them any work," Tripura said. "They are not allowed to collect drinking water from local deep tube wells. Nobody mixes with them. They are not allowed to shop in the village market. So the Buddhist villagers have ostracized them."
The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) runs various projects in the area for the development of tribal people, but most the committee members are Buddhists who deprive the Christians of UNDP assistance, he said. The aid includes financial help for ginger cultivation and small cattle farming and cooperative money given through a committee selected from among the villagers.
"When they were Buddhist, they used to get all the aid provided by the UNDP," Tripura said. "But when they became Christians, they started facing problems. Recently the committee members took away eight passbooks from Christian villagers given by the UNDP for getting financial help."
Tripura said he informed the district UNDP office, and officials there said they would look into it.
The United Peoples Democratic Front (UPDF), an armed group in the hill districts that is also a political party, is active in the area. Tripura said some area Buddhists have mobilized only mid-level activists of the UPDF against the Christians.
"Being an inhabitant of this area, I can say that the high-command of the UPDF is not involved here," he said.
The tribal people of the area share common ancestors and the same social/cultural milieu, he added.
"We are brothers. But the undercurrent of the hatred is religion," Tripura said. "We are trying to sit with the Buddhist leaders along with the UPDF leaders for resolving the matter in a peaceful manner."
The UPDF is one of two main tribal organizations in the hill districts, the other being the United People's Party of the Chittagong Hill Tracts (Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samiti, or PCJSS). The PCJSS, formed in 1973, had fought for autonomy in the region for 25 years, leaving nearly 8,500 troops, rebels and civilians killed. After signing a peace accord in 1997 with the Bangladesh government, the PCJSS laid down arms.
But the UPDF, founded in 1998 and based in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, has strong and serious reservations against the Chittagong Hill Tracts Accord signed in 1997. Claiming that the agreement failed to address fundamental demands of the indigenous Jumma people, the UPDF has pledged to fight for their full autonomy.
The Chittagong Hill Tracts region comprises three districts: Bandarban, Khagrachuri and Rangamati. The region is surrounded by the Indian states of Tripura on the north and Mizoram on the east, Myanmar on the south and east.

There are also simple ways you can eat to keep your mouth moist, which may help control infections and glossodynia and of course help you feel more comfortable. The most obvious solution to dry mouth is hydration. Frequently sipping plain water, preferably fluoridated tap water, is the first course of action. Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, since they may exacerbate dryness and dehydration. Eating moist foods like soups, sauces, fruits, and vegetables while avoiding dry and salty foods like pretzels and chips as well as citrus juices will also help keep oral tissues moist. Paying attention to the temperature of foods and beverages is also important, since hot foods and beverages can be very drying or burn the mouth. Taking small bites and chewing food thoroughly will help stimulate saliva flow. Chewing gums containing xylitol may also be helpful for people who have xerostomia.
As you can see, eating for oral health is not so different from eating for overall health. Focusing on low-fat proteins, whole grains, and colorful fruits and vegetables is the basis of a healthy diet for the whole body. Eating regularly scheduled meals, avoiding concentrated sweets, and controlling blood glucose are no doubt already familiar concepts. Combining nutrition with proper dental hygiene and regular dental care should keep a smile on your face and keep appointments with your dental care team as stress-free as possible.

Klaine Truth or dare PART 2The next day, the warblers training camp continued, but it wasn't exactly happy. Kurt couldn't even enjoy singing the songs properly, not that he like the whole 'doo-whop' thing but at least he felt included. Blaine was also down; his voice was just quiet and raspy. The pair both was putting on fake smiles, but as the practise went on, this attempt was lost. When it was time for a break, Blaine just excused himself and went off to his dorm. The whole atmosphere was moody, everyone's happiness had just drained thanks to the pair and they knew something was up.Kurt was sitting by the window, the weather was exactly the same as the mood, cold and damp, a change from the blazing sunshine that usually shone down on the Dalton academy.

My husband and I came to San Diego in 2007 from Sag Harbor, New York. We came for the fantastic weather, the incredible golfing, and all of the amenities that San Diego has to offer. This includes Balboa Park, the great beaches, Sea World, fireworks at night, picnics on the ocean, theatre, great restaurants, and most of all, the amazing view from the terrace of this spectacular house.
Donna Reese-Gentile purchased this apartment in 2009
We chose Pacific Beach because it is very central. Everything is about 20 minutes away. The ocean is a mile away, and there is a constantly changing view from the terrace. It is mesmerizing. A grocery store, restaurants, shops, bars are five minutes away. There is plenty of parking, no noise and yet, you are in the middle of everything.
At this property, you have a beautiful new apartment with a huge private terrace and a view that everyone says cannot be captured in the photos. It is quiet, secure and peaceful. The jacuzzi and pool are great at night after a long day of sightseeing. Restaurants are close, the hammock is relaxing, and all of this makes for a holiday that you will long remember.
We have been coming to San Diego for about 10 years now. Villa Donna has been our favorite place to stay. The apartment was more than we expected. The view was gorgeous! We hope to come back again next year. Many thanks.

Car collectors and auto enthusiasts are taking restored muscle cars seriously. Need proof? Just consider the amount of "block time", and the prices generated by Mopar Hemis, GTOs, Shelby Mustangs, SS Chevelles and Z/28 Camaros at the Barrett Jackson, Mecum and RM auctions. Muscle cars continue to grow in popularity largely because they were a huge part of the baby boomer experience, but virtually every generation can appreciate the power, sound and visceral image of a Vitamin C orange 426 Hemi-powered Plymouth Superbird. Unlike some collectables, muscle cars are fun to own and drive.
At Precision Restorations we specialize in date-coded, number-matching muscle cars accurately restored to the highest standards. Vehicles restored by Precision Restorations are being proudly displayed at club and concours events at the national level. Don't trust your muscle car restoration project to a shop that doesn't have the experience, expertise and track record of Precision Restorations.
Precision Restorations' has vast experience with all makes and models of muscle cars. No project is too big or small – from a complete frame-off restoration to a concours-winning paint job, the skilled staff at Precision Restorations will get the job done in a timely manner. Part of the Precision Restorations quotation process includes a build schedule and regular blogs on its website so that you can track your vehicle's progress, no matter where you are.

Flip flops for plantar fasciitis are also out there but just like with sandals it is important that they offer good arch support and a deep heel cup for even better motion stability.
Best Slippers For Plantar Fasciitis
If you suffer with heel pain from PF, it is not advisable to work around bare-footed in the house. It is important that you find slippers with good arch support to use at home.

From the above it is clear that good shoes for plantar fasciitis are designed to ensure that the pressure on your foot are evenly spaced out. Reducing the pressure around the various pressure points on the foot will ensure that you get the appropriate relief from the heel pain. If you do other sports as well apart from running then the process is just the same.
Golf involves a lot of twisting and turning when hitting the golf ball apart from the walking for long periods. Using one of the above shoes will help you reduce the stress around your feet. It is also important that you choose carefully if looking for basketball shoes considering the fact that you will be jumping and running for long periods on very hard surfaces.

Finding dress shoes for plantar fasciitis can be quite a hard one because lots of individuals complain that the shoes do not quite match or are plain and ugly. I am sure you cannot imagine going to the ball with some of them. What lots of people do is use shoe inserts with some of their fancy shoes to ensure that they can still use the footwear they want. Shoe inserts provide good arch support that the feet needs.
