| Parents seek trial of child rapists in terrorism court | ||
| 2004-06-09 | ||
Masih said his daughter was raped on April 6 near their home in the rural Punjab town of Gujranwala. He discovered her lying covered in blood and saw a man, identified as Hussein, fleeing from the scene. âWhen I saw her covered in blood, I lost my mind,â he told reporters. Doctors have said the toddler must undergo six separate surgical operations to repair severe genital and bowel injuries, Christian rights activist Shahbaz Bhatti told the press conference. Husseinâs family was now threatening to kill Masih and his relatives unless they drop charges. âIf the beast is not tried in a terrorism court and given due punishment, I along with my four children and wife will immolate ourselves in front of parliament,â Masih said. Parveen Barkat said her seven-year-old daughter was raped on May 29 in eastern city of Lahore. The family of the accused man was pressuring her husband to withdraw charges. âMy young child has been raped, my husband is sick and confined to bed for the last six years, I do not know what to do,â Barkat told AFP. Bhatti said the government had âdone nothingâ about the rape of the infant girls. âWe raised this issue in the Punjab assembly but government as usual gave deaf ear, neglected and ignored these brutal incidents of rape of two minor Christian girlsâ Bhatti said. He said 46 Christian girls were raped in 2003 but have not received justice yet. Bhatti asked Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to declare the rape of the two girls an act of terrorism. | ||

| #17 Is this a good place to tell Donna's (a nurse friend of mine from SA) story about the Imam who came into the Aramco clinic after a trip abroad to Egypt (I think it was) and was found (without the clinic actually intending to do so - it was a broad spectrum test of some kind which indicated further testing needed) to have raging Syphilis and said that was impossible because he was a Holy Man and refused to allow his wife and daughter to be tested but they were tested without his knowledge under other pretenses and BOTH were positive? Oh, I guess I sorta did. Good. |

| #16 According to Khomenei, 2 years is old enough to sodomize. Besides it was a Christian infidel. Allah will reward him bonus virgins in heaven. |

| #15 Oh but you see, that two year old girl must have worn her nappies in a sort of... well... And the 7 year old already was in a nubile age (ask the prophet). |

| #13 You know in most Muslim countries rape is rampant, when you need 4 male 'pious muslims' to convict, and if not, the victim is sentenced to death or 100 lashes, I'd wager that rape is not reported very often. So men rape with impunity. I bet almost every woman in Muslim lands has been raped. (Not to mention if a woman resists, the man can always resort to threatning to report her for blasphemy, especially if she is a Christian and of course the good ol' honor killing for Muslim girls) What these poor women and girls must go through, it's a travesty. And I don't care what any Muslim says, these laws are wrong and sick, and if you don't see it you are sick too, and an accomplice in suffering of enormous porportions. And all the liberals that aid an abet this kind of thing in the name of 'multi-culturalism', you are an accomplice too and don't think you can wash your hands clean at the alter of PC. You cant! |

| #10 Sickening. The rapists deserve another kind of "beheading". The following is in no way intended as a slam against the parents of these poor little kids-my heart goes out to them unequivocally-but have you noticed how in that part of the world words are adopted and used with no attention whatsoever to their meaning? I will watch the news and see administration officials using the word terrorist, then the people over there try to use it, or using the word barbarian, and then they use it, too. |

| #9 Rather interesting. I tried a Google search for "fatwas against rape" and got not one single hit. It is exactly this lack of outcry from central Islamic authorities, as with the mass rapes in Darfur, that serve as a solid indictment regarding Islam's moral decay. Since it is the jihadists that envision global sharia law, I now advocate the elimination by force of all religious theocracies around the world. I regard elected representation as a fundamental human right. Any country seeking to impose theocratic rule can be reduced to smoking ruins (or glass) and I shall not weep. Our world has come too far and with such enormous loss of life in defense of these dearly won liberties where I can no longer tolerate the least advocating of theocracy. Those who are unable to cease stressing the supremacy of their particular flavor of worship can go straight to hell, not collect $200 or pass Go. |

| #8 Invalidation complete for me Zenster. A global force united to the mind doping of man and forcibly (deadly force) of maintaining that control. Mr White, bravo! |

| #7 Since Islam is so fond of beheading, I can think of an appropriate punishment for these monsters AND their extended families (gotta get into the Islamic spirit here). |

| #5 We should offer asylum to each and every Arab and Pakistani Christian family. I'm serious. They sound like decent enough people, they'd fit in like every other immigrant family in our country, and their kids and grandkids would grow up to be solid Americans. We've taken in Vietnamese, Hmong, Haitian, Dominican, and Salvadoran refugess the last couple of decades after various catasptrophes in their countries. We're big enough and good enough to do this. And I'd love to see the Arab Muslim reaction. |

| #4 Thank you for posting this TS. It was my first priority this morning to get this posted here at Rantburg if it wasn't already up. I'm hoping Fred will place the article's picture in this thread so people will see how small these children are. As always, amidst the many voices crying about Islamic persecution not a hair is turned on the Arab street by this horrendous religious persecution. We have already seen enough panchayat ordered gang rapes in Pakistan to know that violent sexual assault is a tool of enforcing political and religious will. This is just another rather highly conspicuous button on the coat in how Islam is invalidating itself as a religion. Hell will freeze over before any fatwas are issued regarding this crime. |

| #3 In case you think this is an isolated incident, it's not. It seems to be widespread tactic. widespread rapes by moslems of christian girls is one of the reasons why so many christians (perhaps as many as 80%) have left the paleo terrortories. |

| #2 Terrorism court is absolutely appropriate for these rapes, which are indeed intended to terrorize Christians in the name of Islam. |

| #1 At first I was skeptical solely of using an antiterrorism court for a rape case, but after seeing the result of it not going to court, it looks like the Hussein family is no better than the mob here -- terrorists, the lot of them. Treat them like it. |
