“A Sikh girl, who was missing for a number of days, surfaced on Thursday after she was forcibly converted to Islam and made to marry a Muslim man in Nankana Sahib area of Lahore. The 19-year-old is the daughter of a ‘granthi’ (priest) of Gurudwara Tambu Sahib and was converted to Islam at gunpoint.”
The kidnapping and forced conversion of infidels is nothing new in Islam. Women are especially vulnerable to this, for “men are in charge of women” (Quran 4:34), and Muslim men are allowed to take infidel women at will (Quran 33:50).
In Pakistan, the practice of kidnapping infidel girls and forcing them to convert and marry Muslims is tragically common:
Every year, thousands of Hindu and Christian girls and young women are kidnapped in Pakistan and forcibly married, disappearing from their families. And while these forced conversions have been going on for decades, a recent surge in reported cases has brought the issue back into the limelight.
“Sikh priest’s daughter forcibly converted to Islam in Lahore’s Nankana Sahib,” India Today, August 30, 2019:
A Sikh girl, who was missing for a number of days, surfaced on Thursday after she was forcibly converted to Islam and made to marry a Muslim man in Nankana Sahib area of Lahore.
The 19-year-old is the daughter of a ‘granthi’ (priest) of Gurudwara Tambu Sahib and was converted to Islam at gunpoint.
Her family said they will self immolate in-front of Punjab Governor’s house if the girl was not released.
The victim’s brother said, “Our family has faced a tragic incident as some goons forcibly entered our house and abducted my younger daughter. They tortured her and forcibly converted her to Islam.”
He added, “We went to a police station to register a complaint. We met many senior officials but they have not listened to our complaint. The goons again came to our house and forced us to withdraw our complaint and threatened that they will also force us to convert to Islam if we persisted with the complaint.”
The family also appealed to Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Justice of Pakistan Asif Saeed Khosa for the safe the victim’s return.
Another brother of the victim said, “The goons also threatened the family that if we do not withdraw the complaint, we will be killed. I have appealed to Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief of Army Staff Qamar Javed Bajwa to help us or else the incident could impact Kartarpur Corridor.”…
