Two Muslims barbarically hacked a Christian man to death after he attempted to prevent Muslim drug dealers from corrupting Christian children, according to the British Pakistani Christian Association.
Earlier this month, Nazeer Masih was working in Pakistani fields when two men approached him “armed with a chopping knife and iron rod attacked him cutting straight through his face and slicing open his throat.”
According to Christian Today, Masih’s body was then taken by local Christians to the nearby G T Road, one of Asia’s oldest major roads.
“Before and after our church services Muslim drug dealers swarm around our church trying to sell drugs to our vulnerable youth,” local pastor Alfred Azam said.
“When our older men tell these criminals to leave our young people alone, they get killed.”
BCPA reports no arrests have been made, though both alleged killers were identified by an eye witness.
“The problem of drug addiction in Christian communities is a rising concern. The coercing of vulnerable Christians and other minority youth into drug addiction, often by force, has developed wealthy Muslim drug lords who continue to target such vulnerable communities,” BPCA Chairman Wilson Chowdry said.
“Their success and accumulated wealth has given them great power, often with authority over police forces who turn a blind eye to their crimes on the offer of rishwat (bribes). This influence to murder without impunity is devastating for Christians and must be met with the full force of the law for the sake of justice. It is high time the government of Pakistan set up a specialist task force to crack down on the drug cartels that have destroyed so many lives,” Chowdry said.
