Hang them all.

Let God sort them out.

Next to these words you have written some vile filthy words, i have not quoted them, refrain from using such words alongside the first part of the sublime Shuhada, do remember we are not a nation of atheists that we will turn our heads away from such nasty comments.

With all due respect i did not say anything against the shuhada and kalma .I just said it,s a huge bullshit lie to associate that kalma with the meaning of pakistan and that means declaring every non muslim living inside pakistan a enemy.

 

[Arsalan]

Do you live in Pakistan?

YEAH! i do.

 

[Mrc]

We must revert back to our secular roots

this is a break down of law and order... nothing to do with islam...
if any thing islam is for very strict laws not anarchy....

and we don't have any secular roots.... either we are muslims .... or nothing

 

[KediKesenFare3]

YEAH! i do.

Right. And you believe that average Pakistani parents are able to monitor every move of their children in a big country like Pakistan?

I have another question: Aren't Punjabis the most liberal people of Pakistan actually?

 

[Reichsmarschall]

They only did what they are taught to be the Right Thing

Why Blame Them ???

more people are killed in India than In Pakistan for their religious belief and i saw on Rohingya threads how you were cheering for a genocide

 

[CHI RULES]

This happen not only with Christians, but also with Muslims.

This very sad event should open the eyes of people in Pakistan about violence in general.

I hope one day Pakistan will go out from the darkness in which it is currently.

All my thoughts are with the family of Sharoon

The religious dis harmony is every where in the world as happening in many Western countries. i.e restriction on veil/parda in France and acid attacks on Muslims in UK are bitter realities. Same happened some time in the past that a Muslim man was brutally killed in Yohnabad by burning him alive. The perpetrator is enjoying life in USA and even burned Pak flag there.
This is a social issue and must be resolved socially instead of criticizing education system. I have n't studied any book through out my life which says that we should kill christian citizens. The sad incidents should not be used to defame a country or text books for ulterior motives.

Rogue elements are not only in Imam's but also christian Bishops are also involved in hate speeches, who is so ignorant from name of Terry Jones.

For Almighty's sake if some one is not good human being he cannot become a good Muslim or Christian. Now even Budhists have become butchers against teachings of Budha. World is going towards decay and end as given in Holly Books.

 

[Arsalan]

Right. And you believe that average Pakistani parents are able to monitor every move of their children in a big country like Pakistan?

NO they are surely not but do you think that they are not supposed to? Sir it is almost impossible that parents of not a single student in that class was aware of the fact that there is some unrest and problem going on with a Christian kid in the same class. These things do not happen over night and i would go to even say that at least 25% 30% of the parents would have been made aware by there own kids that something is wrong. To me it is actually lack of education and awareness. Parents should be and actually are responsible for shaping the minds of there kids. Failure to do so certainly do not mean that they should be sent to jail for a crime their kids committed but surely they cannot be left absolutely not answerable.

Teachers are the next step. It is impossible that the teachers were not aware of grown tension in the class for MONTHS before the crime was committed. Now all we can do is wish that someone somewhere would have taken some action and an innocent life would have been spared.

Yeah Hinduism teaches that it is the only true religion and it preaches to kill every non-Hindus.

AND Every Non-Hindu is leaving India seeking asylum in Pakistan. Happy Now ??

BTW why don't you accept Rohingyas? Tell UN to arrange their deportation to Pakistan, Show some Brotherhood

 

[Chhatrapati]

Poor kid.

RIP.

its good that you've accepted reality and its really shameful that you sick Chaddies support the genocide of those poor people

17 Y/O pariah Christian boy beaten to death by Muslim students in school

• 1-Sep-2017 Wilson Chowdhry

A Christian teenager who achieved academic excellence despite years of institutional discrimination and peer bullying, was killed by Muslim pupils whilst in a classroom environment in Vehari District in the Punjab.

Against all the odds Sharoon Masih gained the highest scores at his former school named Chack 461 EB, eponymous with its geographical location. So convinced were the Christian teachers that Sharoon would be a successful individual that they challenged his poverty-stricken parents not to put him to work but to encourage him to pursue higher education. His father Elyab Masih (35 yrs) saved some money from the work he undertakes as a labourer on a brick kiln, paid for the admission for Sharoon to join 'MC Model Boys Government High School Burewala and District Vehari'.

Sharoon was isolated from the very first day he joined his new high school a consequence of being the only Christian within his form. His parents told BPCA officer Mehwish Bhatti that he suffered targeted abuse from the day he started on 25th August 2017.

Sharoon's mother Razia Bibi (30 yrs) told us Sharoon was warned by his peers not to mix with Muslims at school. One boy is believed to have said 'You're a Christian don't dare sit with us if you want to live'. Many boys called Sharoon a 'chura' which is a very derogatory term against Christians. Moreover there were repeated attempts to convert him to Islam, Sharoon however, never quit his faith to the chagrin of the Muslim children around him exacerbating his pariah status.

Though it must have been very difficult attending a school in which you enter as anathema, Sharoon used the segregation imposed on him to study and was noticeably one of the top performers in his classroom, even within the few days he had been at his new school. His academic prowess however, only added to the disdain for him felt by other pupils. Even then Sharoon Masih could never expect the brutality that led to his death on 27th August 2017.

On the day of the incident, whilst in a classroom, Sharoon was brutally beaten by many of his fellow students on only his fourth day at the school. The violence was of such sickening ferocity that poor Sharoon died where he was in the classroom.

Early pupil reports suggest that the teacher overseeing the classroom ignored the brutal mauling of a despised Christian. However the teacher has since claimed he was reading a newspaper and did not notice the attack. Later the head teacher stated that the attack occurred between classroom sessions and that one teacher was late on arrival allowing the incident to occur without notice.

All the reports state that as Sharoon was beaten a cacophony of insults were shouted at Sharoon, in what must have been a nightmarish last moment of life for the Christian teenager. Questions are being asked about the inactivity of 'the classroom teacher' and the duty of care of other teachers in the vicinity. Especially considering not one of the teachers reacted to the noise emitted from the melee.

The Schools governing body have already taken action against the Head Teacher who has been dismissed from his post.

Reports about the trigger factor for the brutal murder vary, however a main culprit Muhammad Ahmed Rana has already confessed and has been arrested and detained by local police. Sadly few other students feel any remorse for killing a Christian and no-one is willing to implicate the other murderers by naming them. The parents of Sharoon believe the wall of silence reveals the contempt that these students have for Christians and the low value placed on their lives.

Elyab Masih, Razia Bibi and BPCA officer Ambar Saroya.

Razia Bibi, said:

"My son was a kind-hearted, hard-working and affable boy. He has always been loved by teachers and pupils alike and shared great sorrow that he was being targeted by students at his new school because of his faith.

"Sharoon and I cried every night as he described the daily torture he was subjected to. He only shared details about the violence he was facing. He did not want to upset his father because he had such a caring heart for others.

"The evil boys that hated my child are now refusing to reveal who else was involved in his murder. Nevertheless one day God will have His judgement."

Though initially students claimed that Sharoon was killed for bumping into the foot of Muhammed Rana, Mr Rana is insisting as his defence (for what it's worth) that Sharoon smashed the screen on his smart phone, which spurred his anger. He has said other boys were involved but so far has refused to implicate others.

Ambar joined the very sombre funeral for Sharoon.

Ambar Saroya, an officer for the BPCA met with the family and has been praying with them and counselling them. The family has expressed a desire to fight for justice for Sharoon and would like help with the cost of a solicitor. We estimate the cost for this due to the complexity of the case will be in the region of £2000. If you would like to help us assist this family then please donate by clicking (here). Sharoon was buried on 28th August 2017 and BPCA paid for the funeral.

The current First Incident Report (FIR) only names Muhammed Rana as the perpetrator for the murder yet both he and other pupils have said other boys were involved. Moreover the head teacher and form teacher have both escaped any criminal conviction for negligence and manslaughter. BPCA could circumnavigate police inactivity through a solicitor raising a complaint, thus triggering an FIR that would set in motion a more thorough investigation into the murder of Sharoon. Winning this case would go some way towards highlighting and bringing change to the poor school governance and institutional discrimination that threatens the future of every Christian student in Pakistan.

Current FIR

Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the BPCA, shared his thoughts on this latest murder of a vulnerable Christian, he said:

"Christians are despised and detested in Pakistan they are a constant target for persecution.

"This killing of a young Christian teenager at school, serves only to remind us that hatred towards religious minorities is bred into the majority population at a young age, through cultural norms and a biased national curriculum.

"This devestated family will have to cope with the immense emotional pain of a totally avoidable incident. It is a poor indictment of MC Model Boys Government High School that a Christian could be targeted in this fashion. However by no means is such treatment an anomaly - it is an expectation that Christians will face abuse and violence during the years in the educational system.

"The Government of Pakistan failed to remove offensive texts within their national curriculum despite it having being highlighted by the United States Commission for International Freedom and potentially being a bar to future foreign aid.

"Such poor governance has inculcated generations of Pakistani citizens with false stereotypes that undermine the basic human rights of the non-Muslims in their midst. This miseducation has reciprocally also made Muslims more susceptible to the hate ideology espoused by the many rogue Imams following hardline sects of Islam.

"Sharoon a bright and intelligent young boy who had a potentially good future has now been killed. Yet once again in Pakistan the debate is not on who is culpable but who is not culpable of a most heinous crime."

BPCA is calling for a reform of the educational system in Pakistan, for the removal of the bias within the national curriculum which openly demonizes and caricatures minorities. We are also calling for an end to the bullying and discrimination of minority children that leads otherwise brilliant minds to fail to reach their potential. Please sign our petition (click here)

School authority should bring to justice as they failed to noticed the bullying of the child from the very first day . i wounder how even teenagers are becoming ruthless murderer this day . As a Muslim you can't mock other religious believe . I hope all the accused should punished without delay . this kind of incident tarnishing Islam and Muslim.

 

[Liquidmetal]

what are so called muslims being taught these days. we have the example of our dear prophet as a role model, a man who bought light to the world to find today his ummah is divided and are jahils. This killing is not only murder but also a blasphemy against our great religion.

 

[Thəorətic Muslim]

The fact that the student was not only bullied and threatened with death, and the best thing the administrators or teachers have as an excuse is the other teacher was late and I was reading a newspaper? When an entire class gangs up to beat someone, there's bound to be noise....

The parents know who was involved. They also know their kid(s) were involved.

Prisoner's Dilemma, except there's not going to be any consequence.

@Zibago @The Sandman @Hell hound @Dawood Ibrahim
An immediate and effective investigation needs to be launched immediately to ascertain the facts, the teacher who did not notice anything due to him allegedly reading a newspaper should never ever be permitted to go anywhere any school ever again in fact if their was any justice he should be locked away with the keys being thrown away.Kudos

"Hopefully" the law will punish the teacher and the murderer and than what? everyone will forget it right? another incident will occur in which one person will be murdered because he belonged to a minority or a different sect than what? we will again condemn and say "hopefully" criminals will be brought to justice and we will forget it again right? for how long will we continue with painkillers only? when are we gonna believe that there is a problem and we need to cure it not suppress it for a few days? intolerance is increasing in our society and radicalization in our "Educational institutes" when will we accept this fact? when there will be no more minorities left in our country? did you read what those students said and did to him?

'You're a Christian don't dare sit with us if you want to live'.

Moreover there were repeated attempts to convert him to Islam

These kids are the future of Pakistan? What are we doing? creating another generation of terrorists and their supporters? why don't we just simply tell our minorities to leave Pakistan once and for all rather than killing them and suppressing them it will be easier that way no?
