Students recite lines at a Madrassa in Pakistan
Islamabad, Pakistan (CHAKRA) - A Punjabi Hindu girl from Pakistan has been kidnapped and is being held in a madrassa where she is being forced to convert to Islam. This has been brought to attention by leading Pakistani activist Ansar Burney.
Burney’s rights organization has learned that 15-year-old, Gajri who is daughter of Meghna Ram was abducted from her home in Katchi Mandi on December 29th 2009 by a nearby Muslim neighbour. This took place in the Liaquatpur in the Rahim Yar Khan District.
According to Burney, Gajri’s parents later found out that she was being held in a madrassa where she has been forcefully married off to someone in addition to being forced to convert to Islam.
The local administrator of the madrassa is refusing to speak to anyone regarding the abduction and Gajri is not being allowed to leave the madrassa resulting in not being able to speak to her parents or family members.
Burney, a former human rights activist openly condemned the forceful act of conversion in addition to the kidnapping. He has demanded her immediate release.
“Pakistan is a state party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which oblige authorities to protect religious minorities under international law,” he said.
After Gajri disappeared on December 21st from southern Punjab, on December 26th the local police station received a letter from the madrassa administrator stating that Gajri had embraced Islam and had married her neighbour Mohammed Salim. However, the letter was not enclosed with a marriage certificate.
The police failed to immediately inform Gajri’s parents of the letter they had received even though her parents had attempted to file a report when she first went missing. The parents were discouraged from filing a report, according to Burney.
After feeling helpless, Gajri’s parent’s went to Ramesh Jay Pal, the vice president of the National Peace Committee For Interfaith Harmony, asking him for his advice on the matter.
With Pal’s help, Gajri’s parents met the priest, Maulana Abdul Hafeez, in charge of Darul-Uloom Madrassa in Khanpur. He told them that their daughter had embraced Islam and that she was not allowed to meet her parents.

Muslims claim that Islam is the “fastest growing religion”. But, if they feel that they have to kidnap non-muslims and force them to convert, then their evil cult is doomed.

Poor girl, my heart goes out for her family. What a ‘religion” of savages these Muslims are! They walk around the world claiming “Islam is peace” – clearly it’s not. Of course if one disagrees with this lie the members of the “peaceful religion” will threaten to kill you. Where are the so called moderate Muslims? Obviously nowhere.
What about the Coptic Christians in Egypt? They are the true owners of the land, they were invaded by Muslims and robbed of everything and now live as second class citizen in their own land.
Wake up everybody Islam = terrorism! Muhammad himself was a big terrorist, just read the Koran. Of course the Koran is mostly stories and ideas stolen by Muhammad from the Jewish and the Christian bibles. Muhammad himself was all about robbing and raping and his followers are doing the same

“Islam has the effect upon men, that hydrophobia has on dogs”. Winston Churchill. “The depravity of these psychopaths is beyond comprehension.” serving British Officer in Iraq. On a bumper sticker :- “My Child is an Honor Killer at Arafat Middle Madrassa.” Islam is not a religion, it is a Cult of Barbarity and Death.

Very soon, there will be a World War III if Americans don’t mind their business. Just let us massacre mohammadens in peace. I have drawn up plans to subsequently exterminate 600,000,000 mohammadens in South Asia. I have estimated that if we can kill 10,000,000 mohammadens every month, then we can meet our target of 600,000,000 in less than 6yrs. See its not that difficult. We will be using mass burials, gas chambers, guillotines, poisioning on mohammadens. I have even a integrated method of killing and disposing off the bodies easily – See gather around 1,000,000 mohammadens in a very very very very big piece of land and then drop a Nuclear Bomb on them. In less than 10secs their bodies will be evaporated due to the temperature rising to a million degrees.
Come on ppl, listen to me. Its now or never. We have to destroy islam, mohammadens. WE HAVE TO SPILL THEIR BLOOD ON THE STREETS. We have to kill their fathers, husbands, sons infront of their ugly women.

Pakistan: 25 Hindu girls abducted every month; forcibly converted to Islam:
Pakistan’s The News reports: “25 Hindu girls abducted every month, claims HRCP official”
– “As many as 20 to 25 girls from the Hindu community are abducted every month and converted forcibly, said Amarnath Motumal, an advocate and council member of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.”
– “‘There is no official record to support this statement, but according to estimates, in Karachi alone, a large number of Hindu girls are being kidnapped on a routine basis,’ Motumal told The News. “The families of the victims are scared to register cases against the influential perpetrators as death threats are issued to them in case they raise their voice. So, the victims choose to remain silent to save their lives,’ he said.”
– “Motumal said the word ‘Hindu’ had become an insult and a kind of abuse for the Hindu community. ‘Almost 90 per cent of the Hindu community comprise poor and impoverished families whose needs and rights have been neglected by the ones at the helms of power,’ he said, adding that since a majority of the people feel helpless, only a few families come to him with their cases.”
– “A former MPA, Bherulal Balani, said that the Hindu girls, especially the ones belonging to scheduled castes, were mostly being abducted from the Lyari area. “Once the girls are converted, they are then sold to other people or are forced to do illegal and immoral activities,” Balani said. He added the perpetrators were very powerful and that was the reason that no cases were being registered against them.”
– “The number of attacks against the Hindu community has increased in the interior Sindh during the last three months. At least nine incidents have been reported which range from forced conversion of Hindus to rape and murders.”
– “In one incident, a 17-year-old girl ‘K’ was gang-raped in Nagarparker area. In another incident, a 15-year-old girl ‘D’ was allegedly abducted from Aaklee village, Tharparkar, and was forced to convert. About 71 families migrated from the village in protest against the girl’s abduction.”
– “Moreover, the Hindu communities were not even spared on the occasion of their joyous festival of Holi as two girls, Anita and Kishni, were kidnapped in Kotri. Moreover, two Hindu boys, Ajay and Sagar, were abducted from another place on the same day.”
– “One Amir Gul was murdered in the beginning of March in Tando Haider, Umerkot, allegedly by a landlord. Later in the month, a boy, Kishan Kumar, was kidnapped from Kandhkot, Jacobabad.”
– “MPA Pitamber Sewani told The News that these acts were being done by certain elements who believe that these minority communities might support the government in the upcoming local bodies’ elections, and these elements want to harass them.”
– “However, President Pakistan Hindu Council Ramesh Kumar criticised the minorities’ representatives for not raising their voice at relevant forums. He said that they were simply representing their respective parties and not the poor people. He added that poor economic conditions had led to an increase in kidnapping cases in the province, especially in the Kandhkot and Jacobabad areas.”
– “Coordinator HRCP Task Force Sindh Dr Ashothama Lohano told The News the according to their one fact-finding report, the most affected persons of violence belonged to Hindu and Christian communities. He said that various reasons have been cited for this. ‘The recent wave of extremism is one reason, which has destroyed the harmony of the land of Sufis. Another reason is the destruction of the agriculture sector and small markets that has led to frustration and lawlessness. Yet another reason is that the elected representatives are working only for the party and not for the community,’ Dr Lohano added.”
– “He further said that minority communities were easy targets as the Hindus were generally hesitant to raise voice against the injustices. ‘When the Hindu communities become politically active, they are blamed for having Indian connections,’ doctor Lohano said.”

Yas should know this is the true face of Islam. This is what Muslims have done since the time of Mo/allah all over the world wherever they invaded and are still doing it today. Just see what Egyptian Muslims are doing to Coptic Christian girls in Egypt. Same kidnapping and and conversion as going on in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Face the reality and truth about Islam Yas and leave this criminal cult for your own good!!!
