She is appealing for asylum in the UK, which may not be the best idea, as it is filled with people who believe the same things as those who are hunting for her believe.
“Christian girl, 14, is being threatened by Islamist death squads in Pakistan for fleeing forced marriage to Muslim man, 45 – as thousands sign petition to give her asylum,” by Michael Powell, The Mail on Sunday, November 21, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
Campaigners are urging Boris Johnson to offer asylum to a 14-year-old Christian girl being hunted by Islamist death squads in Pakistan after fleeing her forced marriage to a Muslim man 30 years her senior.
Catholic altar server Maira Shahbaz, who was abducted at gunpoint and gang-raped before her wedding, is in hiding after being accused of apostasy for breaking off the marriage – an offence punishable by death in Islam.
More than 9,000 people have signed a petition asking the Prime Minister to grant the teenager and her family asylum in Britain to save her from ‘certain death’. Her supporters cite parallels with the case of Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian who was hounded by Islamic vigilantes on her release from prison after bogus blasphemy charges….
Last night, Maira appealed directly to Mr Johnson. ‘I am very much scared due to threats to my life and my family. Please protect me,’ she said in a statement.
The schoolgirl fled her husband in August, five days after the Lahore high court ruled she had willingly converted to Islam and married Mohamad Nakash Tariq, a 45-year-old barber who lived near her family in the city of Faisalabad.
The ruling sparked protests in Pakistan where, according to human-rights groups, an estimated 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls are kidnapped each year and forced to convert to Islam.
Maira claims she was abducted on April 28 and held prisoner in a basement. She alleges that her captors drugged and raped her before forcing her to convert to Islam to marry Tariq. He denies her claims.
Sajid Christopher, a human-rights activist in Lahore who is supporting the teenager, said: ‘Maira is aware that if her abductor finds out where she is, she will be taken and killed. Dangerous men have been calling at their home and their neighbours’ homes trying to find out where the family are.’…

Koranimals have raped and impregnated hundreds of billions of Christian female sex slaves over the course of 1400 years or so — think: Maria El-Qibtiyya, Sirin El-Qibtiyya, Subh El-Qurtubiyya, and Roxelana, Suleiman El-Qanoony’s favorite sex slave.

There is no end to the demonic behavior of moslims…and there is not end to the denial by those who choose not to see the Truth.
This poor girl and her family need and deserve help. If she had stayed with the male moslim scum who made her his sex slave…not a wife, not a marriage…she would have been forced to have his children and he would raise them to be moslim scum as he is. Because she fled, she will not be having children to see them turned into jihadists…and for that reason alone, she should be helped to get out of the country.
Perhaps there is another place which will take her if she can just get to the U.K. and travel on from there to a safer place.
There is a promised reward for those who are willing to help Christians and this child needs help now.
Treereen says
There’s no point in petitioning Boris Johnson or desperately begging for asylum in the UK. “Community cohesion” trumps all. In spite of what that phrase might imply, its actual meaning is the “authorities'” abject fear of out of control riots or what one Cressida Dick described as “serious disorder” in all of the “Little Pakistans” in the UK and there are many. In other words, disturbances so large the police will not be able to contain them (London BLM “protests” anyone?), with hundreds of millions of pounds worth of damage to public and private property and loss of life. And it’s certainly possible. This certain “community” is able to mobilise large amounts of personnel at very short notice and they are united in one purpose: unbridled, murderous revenge for any perceived slights. For an example of such vicious aggression, google “tree surgeon axe attack”.
revereridesagain says
I am appalled that in this world full of tools ready and eager to give aid and comfort to the most vile predators such as jihadists there is not some organization capable of infiltrating a third-world hellhole such as Pakistan and rescuing someone like this suffering innocent and her family.
If “God” can promise that “reward”, why can’t “God” do this “Him”-self? But then I risk becoming the target of Christian wrath — again — so I’d better not Ask Questions.
somehistory says
Oh, poor you. Always a “victim” of Christians and our meanness.
Since you don’t believe in God, it would do no good to answer your question about “why.” You wouldn’t accept it, so time wasted.
But, you have a nice day there eating beans.
Derek bayliss says
God who or what, god is not a name is it only the rank muslim god has no name
somehistory says
According to the Bible, Jehovah is our Creator’s Name and His Son is Jesus Christ. Those are the Names on which I call for help, giving thanks and praise.
Keith O says
We all know the answer to that.
Because God is a C#*t who does C#*ty things, like letting kids suffer and die and bringing dickheads like you into the world!
gravenimage says
*Really*, revereridesagain? This poor girl is the threatened with *Muslim death squads*, yet you pretend that the real prioblem is “Christian wrath” if someone tries to explain the concept of free will to you?
LB says
I’m an atheist too, but what you say makes no sense. If anything, Christianity and the image of god/Jesus Christ is the only thing keeping the non-muslims (in this case Christians) in muslim countries from converting to islam and adding to their numbers. If it helps them sleep better at night believing that there is someone up there who will protect them, who are you to take their solace away? Also, I’m fairly certain allah is to blame for the suffering of this girl (and all other non-muslims in general), so why put the blame solely on the Christian god?
Now we can go into semantics and argue “if religion didn’t exist at all there would be no suffering of this kind” and I’d be inclined to agree with you, from a theoretical point of view. In reality however, religion was the cornerstone of what we now know as “morals”, i.e. the universal concept of good and evil. There’s no telling what kind of society we would be today (assuming we even last this long) without knowing what’s right and wrong.
Besides, if you look way back to a time where we knew nothing about the world, the only “logical” explanation back then would be that it was made by “someone” or “something”, meaning that the creation of a religion/belief system was inevitable. This is proven by the fact that every single corner of the world, no matter how cut off and far away, had its own unique religion and by extension its own morals and interpretation of good and evil (Mayan ritual human sacrifices were considered to be a good thing, for example). It just so happened throughout history that Judaism, Christianity and (unfortunately) islam came out on top of most of them.
It is what it is, and the only thing we can do is defend our (Judeo-Christian) morals to the best of our abilities against the ones who seek to corrupt them (godless marxist globalists) and subvert them (muslims).
Infidel says
Very good point. Have nothing against either Atheists nor Agnostics, but if one believes in nothing, how does one then mount any objection to being made to swear allegiance to the allah/Mohammed cartel?
somehistory says
“cartel” is a good adjective for them.
And your point is a good one.
gravenimage says
Infidel, there *are* Agnostics and Atheists who are staunch Anti-Jihadists. Not believing in religion does not mean that many do not have values they believe in and are willing to defend.
somehistory says
As one who attempts to imitate Christ, I appreciate your comment. I read it to my daughter and her response was, “I like that.”
Thank you.

“I risk becoming the target of Christian wrath…”
From a devout Christian:
I’m not sure where this is coming from, but you certainly will not be the target of any wrath from people like me – and I’m simply a mainstream middle-of-the-road bread-and-butter Christian. And the Christians that I know personally feel the same way.
Christians are not the problem here. At worst, they can be self-righteous and pesky preachy but that’s about as bad as it gets. And those Christians irritate me to no end.
If you want to waste your time continuously bashing Christians, be my guest.
But please…
Compare and contrast with islam…

Boycott Turkey says
I hope she escapes that hellhole Pakistan she deserves asylum in the UK more then jihadist supporters I pray she’s safe and her family and they escape those evil barbaric savages
David says
The UK government lets Jihadis come back, or there will be trouble. The UK will not give this poor girl asylum, or there will be trouble.
Peter Buckley says
JW readers can help at least one Christian girl suffering the same plight, and help shame Islam in the process:

Thanks for that link.
Infidel says
Like RS suggested, why is she trying to go to UK, where some of the fanatics there are too hot for even Pakistan? She should instead appeal to India, and once there, go to Goa, which has a Catholic population that can support her. Contrary to all the canards about India, she would be in no danger since she’s not a missionary trying to convert Hindus

Pakistan: Muslim death squads hunt for 14-year-old Christian girl who fled forced marriage to her Muslim kidnapper
………………..
Just horrifying. I worried at the time that this poor girl woud never be safe.
I hope she is granted asylum in Britain.
David says
gravenimage, Very little chance, I would wager. It will all be hushed up.
Eleanor says
She will be denied asylum to the UK, as they only grant asylum to muslims.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Eleanor.
Granting asylum to her would cause a “breach of the peace”.
Can’t have that…

Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Pass this along to Trump so he can place her and her family at the front of the line of political refugees. He should broadcast this horrible situation, invite the family to the White House and demand Biden address these ongoing Islamic atrocities and explain why Trump’s immigration ban should not be maintained.
James Lincoln says
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness,
A thousand times yes…
Anne Smith says
One can only wonder in appalled amazement at our Government continuing to send billions of our hard earned taxes in the form of Foreign Aid to countries like Pakistan whose laws favour this disgusting way of life.
Infidel says
I thought we had ended all foreign aid to Pakistan. Anyone know the current numbers?
gravenimage says
The US has cut way back on aid to Pakistan. That will likely change under Biden…
Walter Sieruk says
The sin and crime of kidnapping is strongly condemned in the Bible , Exodus 21 ;16 .
Furthermore the Islamic practice of an adult male Muslim having a marriage with a little girl who is only a child is clearly seen by most Westerners as a blatant action of child abuse in the vilest sort.
Nevertheless this heinous Islam tradition is accepted as “normal “in most of the Islamic world. Therefore, this may serve as an example of how the influence of Islam is able to warp the cogitation of the human mind to the extent that a person who is a Muslim might not be able to understand the obvious difference between right and wrong.
Such an awful thing as not having the discerning mental power to seethe clear difference is described in the Bible. For in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” ]N.K.J.V.]
Paul says
Other than Advent and Holy Week I’m a once a month at most churchgoer, but you have obliquely made the point that our Western societies seriously need to get back to the Bible.
OLD GUY says
What a vile ignorant beast islam is. Its a religion that pits men against each other and against women with nothing but pain and misery for all involved. May the Father Son and Holy Spirit protect her from the violence of islam.
infidel says
But is the UK safe either? Filled with the beasts of the same ilk.. They will surely pick up on the fatwa… The UK certainly is not a safe place for her.. Maybe HUNGARY OR POLAND!!!
David says
I think we already know the answer from the British Government: A curt but polite refusal. Spineless!
Invite her here! Watch the revolting muslims show their true colours! Gloves-off Time!
