Straight from the heart of Pakistan is a tale that will warm some hearts and outrage the Islamophobes. This is a tale of how Sabah Younas 13, and Anila Younas 10, met their Princes in shining turbans: a proud fruit vendor Muhammad arif Bajwa and Falak Sher Gill and his son.

Sabah and Anila Younas, even though living in a cradle of Islam, and on everyside surrounded by Allah's blessings, had had the misfortune of being born to, and at the mercy of "cross worshippers". Only an act of supreme magnanimity could correct this situation; in other words nothing less than a ghazwa. It fell upon Muhammad arif Bajwa, Allah reward him, to carry out this ghazwa; he may have been moved by magnanimity, or it could have been attraction for the pre-teens; the story is not clear; but makes no difference.

The ghazwa

The moment for the ghazwa presented itself on June 26, 2007. While Sabah and Anila Younas were visiting an uncle, Muhammad arif Bajwa struck as soon as opportunity presented itself and made away with young Sabah and Anila Younas.

One must also note Muhammad arif Bajwas' attention to detail; or it could be that young Sabah and Anila Younas simply found this sublime figure irresistible. Their conversion to Islam was swift, as was the marriage of Sabah Younas to the son of Bajwas' confederate, Falak Sher Gill.

There were the usual noises of coercion, rape, kidnapping etc from islamophobes and "cross worshippers"; but all that must be discarded. Muhammad arif Bajwa did everything according to the book: permitted intimacy to a moslem are his wives and those that he has possessed by his right hand. This ghazwa was conducted no different than other historic ghazwas.

But more important. As it is not permissible that a non-moslem have custody over a moslem; the family of Sabah and Anila Younas lost custody of the kids as soon as the kids rejected "cross worshipping" and embraced Islam.

Muhammad arif Bajwa promptly went to the local police station and presented the facts to the local police, explaining the reversion of the kids to Islam, claiming custody of them, and in consequence the lose of custody of the biological parents. The local police dutifully summoned the parents and presented them with the facts of the situation.

The case.

The parents, backed by other "cross worshippers", went to great lengths to create difficulties. Rape charges were carelessly thrown around, even though the kids were older than Aisha bint abu Bakr when Mahomet consummated the marriage. It was ridiculous to claim kidnapping as well, as the reversion of the kids to Islam ended any custodial rights the "cross worshippers" may have on them. Lots of unnecessary fuss.

The case was presided over by District judge Mian Muhammad Naeem, of the section of Muzaffargarh, who demanded to see the kids. Due care was taken to protect the 10 and 13 year olds from any mischief and undue pressure that the "cross worshippers" may have been contemplating. A phalanx of no less than 30 fierce fellows flanked the kids as they testified to the Judge on their reversion. Mercifully their appearance was limited by the Judge to a few minutes; and their "cross worshipping" parents were not allowed contact with them.

Judge Mian Muhammad Naeem ruled correctly that the reversion of the kids to Islam was legit; and furthermore that the biological parents, as non-moslems, lost custody. An interpretation of Islam frowns on "cross worshippers" having custody over moslems.

Simon<<An incredible 'love' story.   Just 12 and 10 years old, so sad. I can't imagine how the parents must feel.<<

It was all done according to the book. Dont bother with what some western appeasers will like to believe; the fact is that as a Cardinal rule moslems hold Mahomet as the most exemplary of men, to be emulated in everything; if a practice or example can be reliably linked to Mahomet then it becomes law.

That places minimum marriage for women at six years old and consummation at nine years old. Those are the ages of Aisha bint abu Bakr when Mahomet married her and when he consummated the marriage. No other lower ages can be related to Mahomet

Hi Juin,

How do you explain someone like "Ted Haggard"?  President of the "National Association of Evangelicals" a married reverend having a homosexual affair, and taking meth?  He was a close confidant of President Bush (talked to him every Sunday according to GW), and looked to him for spiritual guidance.  Does that sound like a good Christian story?

Are you suggesting that Islam not submit to laicism and republicanism?>>>

No more nor less than Christianity and/or Judaism or any other religion.  And, in point of fact a number of Muslim countries do not adhere to Shiria  - they are secular and republican. Even what is  considered to be Shiria is subject to discussion and debate among the varieties of Islam. You ignore that at _your_ peril.

>> Spanish Inquisition

A form of torture similar to waterboarding called toca, along with garrucha (or strappado) and the most frequently used potro (or the rack), was used infrequently during the trial portion of the Spanish Inquisition process. "The toca, also called tortura del agua, consisted of introducing a cloth into the mouth of the victim, and forcing them to ingest water spilled from a jar so that they had the impression of drowning". One source has claimed that the use of water as a form of torture also had profound religious significance to the Inquisitors. <<

David Tucker<<No more nor less than Christianity and/or Judaism or any other religion.<<

If they are equally culpable. I dont suppose an assault on Islam- for the sentencing to death this month of Mohammad Shafeeq for crimes against the "dignity" of Islam- must be accompanied by an equally vicious attack on Buddhism to even things up:)? Must it?

Shouldnt Buddhism at least start engaging in prosecution of crimes against the "dignity" of Buddha to warrant an assault on it?

David Tucker<<And, in point of fact a number of Muslim countries do not adhere to Shiria  - they are secular and republican.<<

The attack is on Islam as a religio/political creed. If a country, even though majority moslem, is secular and republican then I have no problem with it?

David Tucker<<Even what is  considered to be Shiria is subject to discussion and debate among the varieties of Islam. You ignore that at _your_ peril.<<

I am not impressed by the debates.

The kidnap, forced conversion, forced marriage and rape of 13 and 10 year old Sabah and Anila Younas, under the auspices of Islam, are not matters of debate.

The knifing to death of Theo van Gogh is not a matter of debates.

The death fatwas on Ayaan Hirsi Ali are not matters of debates.

The public hanging in Iran of 16 yr old Atefah Saahaleh for corrupting 51 yr old Ali Durabi, are not matters of debate.

The murder by her father of Canadian Aksa Parvez for "dishonouring" family are not matters of debate....

Those are the people at peril, not me.

It is amazing that you who prefer to gloss over the perils of those at the mercy of Islam will suggest that I who speak for the victims am imperiled.:)

Well, aren't you special.

If one convinces oneself that Judeo/Christianism is the evil font from which springs all evil then it is easy to explain Islam's horrors as actually a consequence, if not a reaction to Judeo/Christian Imperialism and Hegemony. In that light you will note the regularity with which any debate on Islam always ends up a debate on Judeo/Christianism.:)

I do believe you are right about that.   Some prefer to defend the suicide bombings and raping and murdering of women in islam and worry more that someone  might say God bless you if they sneeze.
