(CDN) Pakistani Officials Sanction Stealing Land from Christians

Christians in south Punjab Province are accusing senior district officials of supporting local Muslims who allegedly demolished 150 Christian graves and desecrated holy relics ”“ and are now threatening Christians seeking legal redress.

In the Kot Addu area of Muzaffargarh district, Waseem Shakir told Compass by telephone that an influential Muslim group last Nov. 6 took illegal possession of a 1,210-square yard piece of land designated as a Christian cemetery and set up shops on it. Official records state that the portion of land was allotted as a Christian cemetery, he said.

“Local Muslims demolished 150 Christians’ graves and desecrated the cross and biblical inscriptions on the graves in a bid to construct shops on the property,” said Shakir, a resident of Chak (Village) 518, Peer Jaggi Morr, Kot Addu. “Only five marlas [151.25 square yards] are all that is left for the Christians to bury their dead now.”

    I hope people reading about this understand it is *real* Islam. Uncut version, not “protestant” Islam one might find in the west. When one reads the sanitized version of things to comfort infidels about how “people of the Book” are “protected” under Islamic rule things are liable to be misunderstood. Protection means pretty much “owned”. Tolerated at best. Protected like *my* cat is protected. This is why you find so much of the Middle East denuded of Christians. They get tired of being treated this way and leave, which is what was intended.
