(Italy) Muslim Woman Brutally Beaten for Dating Catholic

Muslim woman beaten up and threatened with death by family over ‘secret’ Catholic lover

A YOUNG Muslim woman has been brutally beaten by her two female cousins while her father threatened to murder her because of her relationship with a Roman Catholic.

The brave 22-year-old pressed charges of assault and harassment against her cousins – the case against her father was dropped due to lack of evidence – and faced her estranged family for the first time in nearly two years in court on Thursday.

The Muslim/Catholic couple – whose real names have not been disclosed under French law – kept their relationship a closely guarded secret for years, knowing that the young Muslim woman’s ultra-Islamic family would force her to put an end to her illicit love affair with a ‘non-believer’.

But in January 2015, after dating for more than three years, the couple decided to make their relationship public.

The alleged victim of the assaults left her parents a letter explaining that they would “never accept” her relationship and that she didn’t want to “hurt them,” and that leaving home was her only choice.

Around three weeks later, two of her cousins called an emergency family meeting in a bid to convince her to change her mind and come home.

But Reims Crown Court heard the meeting did not go as planned.

The alleged victim claims her cousins – aged 21 and 27 – hurled abuse at her, pulled her hair, threw punches at her, and kicked her repeatedly, before ordering her to get into their car.

Her parents and sisters also shunned and threatened her. Her father, a practising Muslim, threatened her with death over the phone: “If I find you, I’ll killyou,” he allegedly told her in Arabic.Her sisters also cut off all contact.

“We were so close and then all of a sudden, I was no longer a part of their lives,” she said.

The Muslim woman also said that members of her family had vandalised her postbox and her boyfriend’s car, and that she had been flooded with abusive phone calls.

Badly injured after the attack and fearing further reprisals, the young woman was signed off work for 10 days and decided to press charges before fleeing Reims, her home town, with her clandestine boyfriend.

She was also forced to quit her job, and is now working as a nurse in an unknown location.

The two cousins, however, are denying the charges of assault and threatening behaviour.

Judges are expected to announce their verdict next month, on November 17.

The alleged victim’s lawyer Simon Miravete, said: “This is not just about religion. This is about a young woman fighting for her freedom.”

MIRACLE! 'Jesus' Seen 'Walking' on Water in Shocking Video (Must Watch)

Going viral at the moment is an astonishing video many claim to be the spirit of Jesus walking on water.

The video clip which had over 400,000 views after two days of its publication was filmed on Saturday 8th October.

In the video, images of a mysterious were seen appearing and rising from the waters of lake Michigan, USA.

According to some observers, it was an apparition of Jesus Christ walking on the waters, while others claim the possibility of it being a ghost ship or probably a UFO ascending from its base under the water.

The uploaded video made by Jason Asselin had a blurb saying that on Saturday evening a gigantic mysterious ship appeared at a distant on the lake Michigan.

Its almost as though the ghost ship appeared had the intent to show itself to the world, were it to be a ship how possible was it to be that tall, Jason asked?

The images were caught by the observant film maker when he was in a tour of the area with country musician Kevin B Klein to shoot a new video.

The promotional blurb asked that could it be a UFO or Jesus Christ walking on water? 

A phenomenon known as Fata Morgana is described as a mirage that's as a result of optical distortions and inversion of objects at far distances such as ships and houses which can be seen on land or water.

Very impressive can these optical illusions be as rays of light reflect and deflect as they move through the air at different temperatures as during times of a heat haze.

Viewers who watched the video wasted no time in giving their opinions. A viewer posted that it appeared to be Jesus and Peter out on a stroll to him. 

Another user, Don Atello, posted that it looked very much like Jesus walking on the water.

However, another viewer, Vaz Zav, asked all to "Google" 'Fata Morgana' saying that the explanation to all that was seen could be explained.

Not left out was Scott C Waring, a UFO blogger, who stated that he was convinced that it was certainly an alien spacecraft leaving its base under the water with a big splash.

"I Had No Choice But Shoot My Sister's Head Off As She Married A Christian" - Man Proudly Says (Video)

LAHORE: A Pakistani man, Mubeen Rajhu tragically killed his sister by shooting her in an act called 'honor killing'.

In an interview published by the the Associated Press,  a Pakistani man admits that he brutally murdered his teenage sister after she had rebuffed his stern warnings and got herself wedded to a Christian man.

In the video interview, which was recorded in a Lahore prison, Mubeen Rajhu, with his hands restrained by shackles, reveals to journalists the reasons why he committed the heinous crime.

According to Mubeen, he made his way into the kitchen of the family’s residence, a pistol in hand, in the presence of his mother and another sister watching, he aimed the pistol and released a single bullet which hit his sister, Tasleem’s head, ending her short life in the process. Tasleem just turned 18.

Mubeen said he couldn't just let her go, that there was nothing else his mind could focus on. He said he had no choice but to kill her. He told the AP journalists that there was no yelling or shouting as he just blew her brains out.

How and why Mubeen made such a decision to murder his junior sister happens to be saddening and worrisome just as is his carrying out of the brutal murder of a crime.

AP reports that Mubeen had always loved and cherished his kid sister. Tasleem was reported to be a devout Muslim. Later, Mubeen's colleagues at the steel mill, his working place, started sighting Tasleem moving around Lahore with a man said to be a Christian.

Then the bullying commenced. Mubeen's co-workers began freely and gleefully mocking Mubeen, informing him that his sister was dating a Christian and such was sacrilegious.

Ali Raza, Mubeen’s colleague, blabbed laughingly that it was too easy to get Tasleem into bed.

Mubeen would tell them to stop, he threatened to commit suicide if they didn't. According to Raza, the bullying colleagues told Mubeen that it would be wiser to end his sister's life instead.

Hastily, Mubeen bought a gun and 6 days after he sent Tasleem to the morgue. Mubeen said his kid sister surely had it coming. He said he warned her several times that she was bringing nothing but dishonor to their family by dating a Christian man. He succeeded in making Tasleem make an oath on the Qur'an that never would she wed the Christian man.

Later, Mubeen discovered that Tasleem had defied him and got married to the 24-year old Christian man. Mubeen said that the shame was too much for him to bear and what he was bound to be subjected to at work was something he couldn't imagine.

Two months on, Mubeen’s father is devastated by the whole incidence. However, in yet another shocking twist in this tragic saga, the father blames his dead daughter for bringing destruction to his family and not his son who murdered her.

Other residents in the impoverished neighborhood shockingly sympathize with the father and shower praises on Mubeen. Babar Ali, a neighbor, said he was proud of Mubeen as he did the right thing to have ended her life.

Pakistan has recently been experiencing an increase in "honor killings" with women significantly falling victims. Pakistan recorded 1,184 honor killings in 2015 alone, out of which 1,096 of the murder victims were women.

This saddening development  which is now considered an epidermic of sorts led lawmakers to pass bills that seek to seal the loopholes that exist in their country's murder laws which have on numerous occasions allowed murder suspects walk Scot-free.

The proposed law seeks to ensure that perpetrators serve a 12-and-a-half year jail sentence even if they were forgiven by the affected families.

Teenager To Face DEATH PENALTY For Mocking Kaaba With Facebook Post

PAKISTAN: A 16-year Christian boy is expected to be sentenced to death after being found wanting on the grounds of sharing a "blasphemous" photo on his Facebook account. The young lad was arrested after he committed the act and subsequently accused of blasphemy.

Source: Turki Al-Fassam

According to complaints made to the Pakistani police, the image was attached to an anti-Islamic article the lad posted on his Facebook timeline. The image in question was said to have made ridicule of the Kaaba situated in Mecca, one of Islam's most revered sites. The post was described by Muslims as insulting and abominable.

The Kaaba is a huge black cube-shaped structure constructed around a very old stone located at the middle of the Al-Masjid Al-Haram mosque, regarded as Islam's most holy site in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Pakistani locals testified that the image in question uploaded by the boy showed a pig's head over the Kaaba.

According to Shahbaz Ahmed, a Pakistani police official, an informant sent reports to police officers concerning the facebook post. The informant described the alleged post as being hurtful to Muslims and a desecration of the Kaaba. According to the informant the lad had commited a grave injustice to muslims by sorely hurting their Islamic feelings.

The Pakistani Police however declined to release details of the photo or contents of the said post, other than it contained an image of the holy Kaaba. It is however not certain if the young boy uploaded the photo himself, was tagged to the post by someone else or just "liked" the post.

As prescribed by  Pakistan’s unappealing blasphemy laws, the teenager must face the death penalty or resign himself to  a lifetime in prison.

The controversial Facebook post which has since been taken down, however, did not stop his family from forcefully abandoning their residence in Bhai Pheru out of the fear and threats of violent attacks as their son awaits his judgement in jail.

Wilson Chowdhry, who is the leader of the British Pakistani Christian Association, BPCA reacted by saying that the incident stressed the disregard and lack of respect for Christians in the Pakistani nation. Wilson said the 16-year-old boy accused of blasphemy was placed in prison custody without any proper investigation into the matter.

Wilson stressed further that social media could be a force for  virtue or for vice, stating that few people understood the blasphemy entrapment non-muslims and Christians face daily in Pakistan and often on excusable and grossly intangible evidence, for which he could vision social media acting as prolific weapon to fight such injustice.

He said further that the Pakistani Christian community makes genuine attempts trying to be an active part of their society and make friendships with the local Muslim community, stressing that It was hard to be an integral part of the local community when they excluded the largest diversity. He however hoped that in the nearest future Pakistani Christians should be more careful when accepting friendship requests from Muslims on their social media accounts.

He opined that even long term friends would demand for one's head if they felt that one had made ridicule of their Islamic faith, advising non-Muslims to be wary of such hatred and animosity by staying clear off muslims subsequently.

It has been reported widely by Human rights organisations worldwide that Pakistan’s blasphemy laws often victimize religious minority groups. According to records, “hurting religious feelings or sentiments”, “mocking remarks” and “disrespecting the Quran” are all viewed as punishable crimes.

Pakistan is the sixth most dangerous country on the globe for Christians and non-believers where the country's blasphemy laws are often abused or manipulated to settle personal scores or disagreements.
