Pakistani Christian Mother Raped & Murdered in Lahore


Shazia Imran is a 40-year-old Christian widow who was abducted, gang raped, & stabbed to death for refusing to convert to Islam and marry a Muslim by the name of Mani Gujjar.  Shazia was a resident of the city of Lahore and worked at the daycare center of the Lahore University of Management Sciences.  For months Shazia was stalked and harassed by Mani Guijar who continually pressured her to marry him.  Though the harassment was reported to the authorities, they did nothing to stop it.  On July 3rd, Shazia was abducted by Mani, his brother, and two of his cousins, who then proceeded to rape Shazia, cut her throat, and then doused her body in acid in order to try and cover up the crime. 
 
Shazia's husband sadly died 18 months earlier, and while police have ruled his death as an "accident," many members of Shazia's family suspect that the four men who raped her are also the ones responsible for the death of her husband.  Shazia leaves behind three children: a a son named Salman (Age 16), a second son named Abrar (Age 6), and a daughter named Aliza (Age 7), who are now orphans.  At this present time, the children are being cared for by extended relatives, who are currently pleading with Christian organizations for help.  Sadly, incidents like this are common in Pakistan.  In the year 2022 the Lahore-based Center for Social Justice reported that there were at least 124 documented cases of Pakistani women belonging to religious minorities (Christianity, Hindu, or Sikh) being targeted for abduction & forced conversion, with many such women being forced to marry their abductor.  

At this present time Mani Gujjar is in police custody and has confessed to the crime, but thus far he has refused to implicate anybody else and the police have shown little interest in pursuing justice against the other three perpetrators.  Making matters worse, Gujjar is a member of a very influential family in the region and they are making threats against Shazia's family if they do not withdraw their demands for justice.  Shazia's remaining family has had to go into hiding due to these threats.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
