All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. - Matthew 10;22
Today we have a report from Compass Direct which is sharing the sad news that has killed the wife and children of a Christian in Pakistan. And what add insult to injury is that the authorities are refusing to file any charges against those who killed this family. Please say a prayer for this family that is grieving, and also ask the Lord for justice to come to this situation.
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.
