Pakistan: Muslims open fire on two Christian boys,
killing one of them
Compounding the fear and uncertainty of the Christian community is the fact that they know that authorities will not be on their side, and they cannot assume that the perpetrators will be apprehended and that justice will be done. Authorities are all too often sympathetic to those who attack the Christians, and so there is no justice for the victims.
Fear and Persecution Grip Pakistan’s Christian Community
After Deadly Peshawar Shooting
by Sardar Mushtaq Gill, Pakistan Christian Post, May 27, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
PESHAWAR: Fear and uncertainty continue to spread among Pakistan’s Christian minority following the tragic death of an 18-year-old Christian youth who succumbed to injuries sustained in a deadly shooting incident in Peshawar.
According to local residents, Silas, son of Ejaz and a resident of Father Colony in Peshawar, died on Wednesday after battling critical gunshot wounds for several days. The attack reportedly occurred when unidentified armed men opened fire on two Christian boys a few days earlier, leaving both seriously injured.
Silas remained under treatment following the attack, but his condition deteriorated due to the severity of his injuries. His death has deeply shaken the local Christian community, where many believe minorities continue to face increasing violence, harassment, and intimidation in different parts of Pakistan.
Residents of Father Colony described the incident as another painful example of the insecurity faced by Christians in the country. Community members expressed grief and anger, saying repeated attacks on minorities are often met with silence and an inadequate response from authorities and political leaders….
‘Every Sunrise Brings Fresh Humiliation for Pakistani Christians: The True, Hate-Filled Face of Islam’
The problems that Pakistani Christians have to face with every sunrise emanate from the moral paralysis of all too many Muslims — their ignorance, oppression, injustice, bigotry, hypocrisy, stubbornness, lowly thinking, and vulture-like behavior.
Despite this, Muslims today go around the whole world raising a clamor about how there is no religion as excellent as Islam, and that it has also bestowed the best rights, status, and rank upon non-Muslims. Or they raise the same clamor that Islam is a religion of tolerance and forbearance which commands good treatment even with kafirs, whereas the reality on the ground is exactly the opposite of this.
The true teachings of Islam are filled with malice, hatred, contempt, and discriminatory inferior treatment full of killing and plundering towards non-Muslim kafirs — Christians, Jews, and Hindus. Whoever does not accept Islam has been trained to be humiliated and disgraced at every step.
Today, Muslim scholars and preachers cover up all these hateful true Islamic teachings and wrap themselves in an apparent and false cloak of morality and character in front of others. The purpose of this apparent garb is nothing except that those who are not aware of the real false teachings of Islam should become impressed by this apparent morality and fall into the trap of Islam.
Therefore, in this connection, it is necessary to bring forward the teachings of Islam that are filled with hatred and malice towards others. Even many Muslims themselves are not aware of these teachings today; otherwise, they are so disgusting that revealing this face of Islam is enough even for any justice-loving Muslim.
Allah’s Curse Is Upon the Kafirs
The god of the Quran has bestowed another honor upon the kafirs by saying: “So the curse of Allah is upon the disbelievers.” (Al-Baqarah: 89)
Not only the curse of Allah alone, and not only upon the living kafirs, but even regarding those kafirs who have passed away from the world, it is said:
“Those who disbelieved and died while they were disbelievers — upon them is the curse of allah and the angels and all mankind.” (Al-Baqarah: 161)
Those who believe in such teachings and consider them their faith accuse others that non-Muslims harbor hatred towards them. By no means! It is the hearts of the Muslims that, under the influence of these hateful Islamic teachings, knowingly or unknowingly, are filled with hatred and contempt against every non-Muslim kafir.
Protection of a Muslim’s Life for Killing a Non-Muslim
In an Islamic state, a non-Muslim kafir will also have this right and status that if a Muslim kills him, the Islamic state, which believes in life for life in cases of murder, can never impose the death penalty on that Muslim killer in exchange for that kafir.
Accordingly, the Islamic prophet Muhammad had advised Ali, which he had written down. In it, this command was also present: “A believer will not be killed for a kafir.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Kitab al-Diyat, Bab iqad al-Muslim min al-kafir, Hadith 4530)
Therefore, let no non-Muslim ever forget that in an Islamic state, any decision regarding even his life will not be made at the level of equality. Similarly, a Muslim should be confident that if any non-Muslim kafir dies at his hands, he should consider his own life completely safe and secure.
Kafirs Are Worse Than Animals
The Quran, while describing the status and rank of those who do not accept Islam — the kafirs — states: “These people are like cattle, rather they are even more misguided than them. It is they who are heedless.” (Al-A’raf: 179)
The famous commentator and Imam Ibn Kathir has written in the tafsir of this verse:
“And whoever commits kufr (disbelief), he is an animal, rather worse than an animal.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, translated, Volume 2, Page 438, Maktaba Islami, Lahore)
Similarly, in another verse it is said: “Do you think that most of them hear and understand? By no means! They are like cattle, rather they are even more astray from the path.” (Al-Furqan: 44)
Thus, the first honor bestowed upon those who do not accept the invitation of Islam is that their very humanity is denied, and they are declared to be like animals, rather worse than them. Not only are they declared worse than some specific animals, but they are declared worse than all creatures and living beings.
Accordingly, the Quran states: “And the worst of living creatures in the sight of allah are those who disbelieve and do not believe.” (Al-Anfal: 55)
Kafirs Are Impure and Unclean
The Quran has declared regarding non-Muslim polytheists:
“O you who believe! The mushrikin (polytheists) are completely najis (impure).” (At-Tawbah: 28)
Look at this hateful teaching of the Quran that those who do not accept the concept of Tawhid are declared impure and unclean. The majority of Muslim scholars believe that such people are dirty and impure in their inner self, but their bodies are not impure. However, some scholars who take the apparent words of the Quran as their proof consider even the bodies of kafirs to be impure. So much so that if a Muslim shakes hands with a kafir, he should wash his hand. Ibn Kathir has written:
“This verse is also proof of the impurity of the mushrikin… As for whether the body and person of the mushrikin is impure or not, the majority say it is not, because Allah has made the slaughter of the People of the Book lawful. Some Zahiris say that the bodies of the mushrikin are also impure. Hasan says: Whoever shakes hands with them should wash his hand.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, translated, Vol. 2, pp. 549-550, Maktaba Islami, Lahore)
Fight the Kafirs Until They Pay Jizya in a State of Humiliation
The Quran, inciting and creating hatred against those who do not accept Islam, says:
“Fight those who do not believe in allah and the Last Day, who do not declare unlawful what allah and his Messenger have declared unlawful, and who do not accept the true religion — from among those who were given the Scripture — until they pay the jizya with their own hands while they are humiliated.” (At-Tawbah: 29)
Ibn Kathir has explained this verse: “So (Allah) says: Do not leave them until they pay the jizya with humiliation and degradation by their own hands.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, translated, Vol. 2, p. 550, Maktaba Islami, Lahore)
These are the teachings because of believing in them and acting upon them that Islam remains a continuous danger for the followers of other religions or other non-Muslims. The Quran has commanded the Muslims that as long as the kafirs do not accept faith and do not accept the halal and haram imposed by Islam, the Muslims should continue to fight them until the Muslims force these non-Muslims to pay jizya in a state of humiliation and degradation. Therefore, Muslims not only extort protection money in the name of jizya by threatening the followers of other religions with fighting and killing, but also give them the title of being humiliated.
Accordingly, the famous Islamic warrior companion Khalid bin Walid wrote a letter to the people of Persia, in which it was stated:
“We invite you to Islam. If you refuse, then pay the jizya with your own hands while you are humiliated, because with me are such people who love fighting in the way of Allah as the Persians love wine.” (Hakim: 299/3, Tabarani al-Kabir: 105/4, Musnad Ali bin al-Ja’d: Hadith 2304, Majma’ al-Zawa’id: 310/5, Imam Haythami declared this hadith hasan in Majma’ al-Zawa’id.)
The Quran spoke of taking jizya while considering non-Muslims humiliated, but Muhammad also made it obligatory that if any of those Muslims who consider them humiliated passes by them while traveling, they will host him for three days.
Accordingly, it is narrated from Abu al-Huwayrath: “Muhammad had made it obligatory upon the Christians of Aylah to pay three hundred dinars every year, and he had also made it obligatory that any Muslim who passes by them, they will host him for three days, and they will not deceive any Muslim.” (Musnad Imam Shafi’i, Part Four, Kitab al-Asir wa al-Fida’, Bab Darb al-Jizyah, Hadith 1771, Musannaf Abdur Razzaq: Hadith 10092, Al-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Bayhaqi: 19/9)
The second Caliph of the Muslims, Umar, added to this that if Muslims pass by them, these kafirs will not only host them for three days but will also be bound to provide for their other necessities of life.
Umar bin al-Khattab fixed four dinars on those who pay in gold and forty dirhams on those who pay in silver as jizya, along with the necessities of life of the passing Muslims and three days of hospitality. (Mishkat al-Masabih, Kitab al-Jihad, Bab al-Jizyah, Hadith 4041, Muwatta Imam Malik: 1/279, Hadith 623)
These forced hospitalities and humiliating treatment of non-Muslims will not end here, but Muslims have been permitted that if non-Muslims refuse these unnecessary forced hospitalities, they should take this “Islamic right” of hospitality by force.
Uqbah bin Amir narrates: I said: O Messenger of allah! When we pass by a people, they neither offer us hospitality nor fulfill the right that is upon them, and we also do not take our right from them by force. The Muhammad said: “If they refuse and you have to take it by force, then take it by force.” (Mishkat al-Masabih, Kitab al-Jihad, Bab al-Jizyah, Hadith 4040, Sunan Tirmidhi: Hadith 1589)
