Muslim Cleric Arrested for Killing Catholic

The website AsiaNews has a good news story today (assuming you think getting bad guys is good news) concerning the arrest of a Muslim cleric who murdered a young Catholic by the name of Javed Anjum .  They were trying to force Javed to renounce his faith in Christ, and killed him when he didn't.

The three men are accused of trying to forcibly convert the Christian man to Islam over a five-day period in April 2004. After torturing him they handed Javed over to the police on false charges, but his wounds were too extensive and despite medical treatment he died in Faisalabad’s state hospital.

On his death bed, Javed named one of his persecutors, Ghulam Rasool, who was immediately arrested. During his interrogation Ghulam revealed that Mohammed Tayyab and Umar Hayat were his accomplices.

Tayyab later confessed his part in the crime and testified against Rasool and Hayat, said Sindhu.

I'm thankful that these men were caught and I pray that justice will be carried out.
