In
January 2010 we cited the craze in Egypt where in the height of the influence
of the Moslem Brotherhood, Islamists were having a field day luring Christian
girls into supermarkets, (as if they
had won some gift) and in broad day light, abducting and raping them into
marriage. Thereafter they claim the humiliated girls have converted to Islam.
It
would have sounded so comical if not that it was happening in real life, not
some movies. Our conclusion at CA! is that there must have been rather strong
incentives (probably monetary), daring young moslem men to bring in Christian
brides one way or the other. (Like
Okorocha’s incentives to Youth Corpers who marry while serving in his state).
Now
the chicken are in our backyard roosting.
There
have always been instances of abduction of Christians by Moslems with little
public outrage. As we reported in 2007
when 7 year old boy Victor Udo Usen was found in neigbours compound after being
missing for 6 months, even the security agencies when contacted, could only
advise the distraught parents to go plead at the Palace that their son be
released!
The
kidnappers piously insisted that the boy had converted to Islam and could not
be released to non-moslem albeit biological parents!
Local,
out-of-public eyes solution also was probably adopted in the case of Charity
Uzoechina hypnotized and kept at the Emir’s Palace in Bida a few years ago (see a summary of these
reports here).
But
in recent times, the reports have been pouring in non-stop. It’s always the same: Moslem boys abduct
Christian girls, and claim they have eloped with them in marriage, have
converted to Islam, and have no desire to ever see their Christian parents or
family members ever again!
One
of the nationally-prominent cases is that of Ese Oruru abducted in
Bayelsa state and later located in Kano, in the Emir’s palace! There are several
others happening away from public sight.
For instance, a friend from Jaaji, Kaduna state, told of the local CAN
discussing 3 such “abduct- and-marry” cases in recent times. Interestingly, virtually all the cases
involved Igbo girls. This gives credence
to the claim by Pastor Bosun Emmanuel (see Islamization Agenda) that the next
strategic move of Islamists is geared to taking over Eastern Nigeria. Young men are being induced with money and
business deals, while the girls are lured and forcefully converted via
marriage.
CA!
does not consider this development
anything extraordinary. We have been
warned in the Scriptures. There should
be no room for whining that the devil would not agree to go to hell quietly
without desperate kamikaze struggles. What we must do is heed Biblical counsel:
Take heed to yourself (that you don’t become an accomplice for whatever reason),
Watch (and doze-off not)(; and finally and most importantly Pray to stem evil
and get direction on what specific actions to take) (Mk 13:33)
In
Pakistan, estimated 700 girls forcefully converted to Islam by marriage
annually – Research Group:
That the
conversion-by-forced-marriage trend is inspired and imported from a global
Islamist agenda, is not in any doubt. According to the Movement for Solidarity
and Peace, a research, education and advocacy group, 700 non-Muslim girls are
converted to Islam each year in Pakistan.
In a recent such
incident, 15-year-old Saima Bibi was abducted by a group of Muslim men, forced to convert to
Islam, and marry one of her kidnappers. The family filed a complaint with
police against her captors, showing her birth certificate confirming she is
beneath the legal age for marriage in the country. The Police, however, insisted that they have
official documents proving the marriage and confirming that Saima has converted
to Islam. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/01/14/pakistani-family-says-teenage-christian-daughter-kidnapped-forced-to-convert-to-islam-and-marry-her-abductor/.
Sardar Mushtaq
Gill, a Christian lawyer and head of Legal Evangelical Association Development,
explains that it is common in cases like this for perpetrators to take a plea
of marriage and conversion to Islam in order to “save themselves from criminal
charges of rape and kidnapping.”
