A bus with 46 Ismailis on it, along with women and children was attacked by extremist in Karachi, Pakistan. The massacre was carried out yesterday when the Islamists stormed the bus and started shooting without any fear. Ismaili is one of the sect of Islam that is not acceptable to Islamists. I receive lots of threat letters by Pakistani Muslims and they use abusive language in their messages to me for telling the truth. They claim that minorities in Pakistan aren't facing any danger and they aren't being discriminated by muslim majority. I am an eye witness to the behavior of Pakistani Muslims and I can say that not only government, high officials and police but courts are also very discriminative. I am posting a new video and let all of you to decided that either minorities of Pakistan are being discriminated or not? Courts, government of Pakistan and locals are involved in destroying this one hundred years old temple and the houses of Hindus who were living here for four generations. I will keep writing unless Pakistan is declared a secular state.

Speech of Hector Aleem for minority rights
Hector Aleem's speech in "National Conference on the protection of Minorities in Pakistan: Issues, Challenges and way forward." with MNA Mr. Akram Gill and Senator Ms. Roshan Baruja etc.
Those who claim that 5% quota of government jobs for minorities was announced by a Christian Federal Minister during the tenure of PPP (2008-2013), following is the proof that Hector Aleem demanded for the 5% quota of government jobs for minorities during the Musharraf tenure and before that. This is the result of his struggle. Following is the link of the report on the conference in which the entire speech of Hector Aleem can be read (see page 17 and 18 of this report).

Christian Students and Islamic Studies: Hector Aleem
Over the centuries people from different cultures
& regions have always given more importance to the prevalent religion in
that particular region at that particular time.
Christianity which has its roots in the Middle-East
and South Asia was peacefully preached & practiced in Europe while Islam
which too has its origins in the Middle-East found a permanent foothold in Asia
& Africa. To openly claim that ones religion is superior to the other is in
itself an act of blasphemy.
Muslims live in North America, Europe, Australia and
other non-Muslim countries, but never have the education system in these
countries ever tried to impose an alien religious subject on their children,
nor have the Muslim children ever been brainwashed into believing that their
religion is inferior to those of other religions. As a matter of fact all children in
non-muslim countries are taught the importance of national unity, patriotism,
love for humanity & economic development of their respective countries.
In Pakistan, since the last 67 years special emphasis
is given to Islamayat (Islamic studies) in all educational institutions from
primary to under-graduate level. Diverse
subject such as Mathematics, Science, Geography, History and even language
subjects such as Urdu, Punjabi and Sindhi have Islamic concoction in them. Alternative subjects such as Civics &
Ethics are given little or no importance and even in these subjects, 75%
teaching of Islam is present. This is well and okay if all the students in
Pakistan come from Islamic backgrounds – What happens to children from
Christian backgrounds? What alternative subjects are taught to them that do not
include Islam? I am afraid the answer to the above two questions is not
positively reassuring.
Islamic Studies is taught to Christian children from
Kindergarten level and when these children reach the upper primary level, they
are reasonably brainwashed by then into believing that Islam is the only
superior religion and that their belief in Christ or Christianity is wrong-the Holy
Bible unlike the Holy Quran has been amended and due to this fact it is no
longer accurate and an inferior religion.
Teachers also coax these Christian children (05 years old and above) to
renounce Christianity & embrace Islam to redeem themselves from sin and
promises of a place in paradise. Our
Christian children when at home pose serious & misinterpreted questions to
their parents about the activities that took place in their respective school
and begin to question their faith creating an atmosphere or uncertainty, alienation
& inferiority complex which later in life causes entrenched doubts about
their religious convictions and even a switch to Islam, based on the earlier
misinterpreted version imparted by their Islamic Studies teachers. It is no
secret that these Islamic Studies teachers are in fact aggressively promoting
Islam with the tacit approval of their respective educational hierarchy, which
is turn are taking their instructions from the Government. Is this approach
correct?
Let’s take another example. There was a hue & cry in France about the
issue of Muslim female students not allowed to wear the scarf while in
School. The Government of France made it
amply clear that all students in France must follow rules & regulations and
that the dress code did not include religious insignia or restrictions. The point is that Muslim prefers to adhere to
their religious values in non-muslim countries but force Islamic value to
non-Muslims in their own countries. Why the double standard? Can Pakistani
Government justifiably prove that Islam is in fact more superior to other
religion? Pakistani print and electronic media always claim that the Holy Quran
explicitly forbids Muslims from discriminating against other religions. Why
then the unnecessary discrimination? Pakistani Government boast about the
rising number of converts to Islam but in reality, other religions are not
allowed to flourish, instead other religions are demonized here. Pakistani government
never provides a level playing field and usually resorts to unethical &
provocative methods to inflict physiological torture on Christians.
Religion can never be forced onto others, Christians
in Pakistan are guaranteed religious freedom both by the Constitution of
Pakistan as well as the United Nations (Pakistan is a veteran member of the
United Nations) but this guarantee only exists on paper – the reverse is
actually applicable.
To compound problems Islamic studies is taught in the
Arabic language – once again an alien and irrelevant language both for Muslim
& Christian students alike, whom face extreme difficulty in comprehending
this language. Then there are a few
schools that teach Civics or Ethics instead of Islamic Studies but it becomes
difficult for children whom are studying these particular subjects to
successfully pass their examinations.
This is another hand twisting methods adopted by the educators into
compelling students from opting out of Civics/Ethics in favor of Islamic
Studies.
Interestingly enough Christian students, who complete
Islamic Studies examinations, are given good grades, even though they may not
have made a serious attempt to pass.
I strongly urge the Government of Pakistan both at
Federal & Provincial level to cease teaching Islamic Studies to Christians;
instead appoint teachers from Christian background to teach Holy Bible to
Christian students. This will improve
the unemployment situation for the Christians, create an atmosphere of
tolerance & brotherhood and will give Christians a sense of security-
sorely missing in Pakistan.
Pakistani Christians applaud the Government
into allowing Aga Khan Board to be established; similarly I recommend that a
Christian Board too be created to facilitate children from Christian
background.
Forcibly eradicating other religious values &
beliefs will only create an atmosphere of distrust, contempt, intolerance,
discrimination & loss of self-esteem, a situation currently in existence in
Pakistan. Wake up Government of Pakistan
before it is too late.

Stand with Pakistani Christian Refugees - Hector Aleem
The dilemma for Christians in Pakistan is that they are very peaceful but the government and agencies of the country are hell bent on exterminating them. Despite being loyal to Pakistan, Christians have to flee the country and live a life of refugee in difficult countries like Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia etc. After being shamefully defeated by India, Pakistani army focused all its attention to the vulnerable Christians of Pakistan. Believe it or not, Pakistan through its agencies is busy in spreading Talibanisation and Islamisation all over the world. Its time for the whole world to stand with Pakistani Christian refugees who are scattered in different parts of the world.

Views of Hector Aleem about SP. Singha
During the British rule of India, British Government sent Sir. Stafford Cripps (head of Cripps Mission) to India with his delegation. In that plan India was offered with a plan of independence.
Punjab Province was the biggest province of India, in the East of that Province Hindus and Sikhs were in majority so according to the plan that part was to be annexed with present day India. In the western part of Punjab, Muslims were in majority so that part was to be given to Pakistan. And from Lahore City to River Jehelum (present day Punjab, Pakistan) Christians were in majority, so according to the plan this part of Punjab province was to be given to Christians so that they can create their own separate Christian Country.
Punjab Assembly at that time voted on the plan, some members of the assembly supported going with India and some members supported with going to Pakistan. There were also Christian members of Punjab Assembly and at that time the speaker of the Punjab assembly was also a Christian whose name was SP.Singha. SP.Singha supported Pakistan and he also made other Christian members of Punjab Assembly to vote for Pakistan. So the Christian part of Punjab was also annexed with Pakistan due to the votes of SP.Singha and his other fellow Christian members of assembly.
At that time that was considered a vote for freedom but now after 67 years, Christians must decide….was it a vote for freedom or slavery? Implementing of Martial Law by dictator Ayub Khan 1958. Mrs.Singha left Pakistan and lived her life with her daughter in India.

Written by Hector Aleem "Christian Genocide in Pakistan"
In 1947, Christian leaders were influenced by the false promises of Quaid e Azam. SP Singha (the Christian leader) of that time voted for Pakistan, that vote was not for freedom, that vote was for slavery and bonded labor. 14 August 1947 is not the day of freedom for Christians, it is the day of slavery and bonded labor. Christians are already been tortured in Pakistan but other minorities like Hindus etc are also not spared. Pakistanis kidnap and forcibly marry the girls of minorities in Pakistan, the case of Rinkal Kumari is an example in this matter. Chief Justice of Supreme Court of Pakistan also gave decision in the favor of kidnappers. What will happen to people when the Chief Justice of a Country is unjust?
Christianity is the largest minority in Pakistan but besides being the largest number of minority, they are also the largest number of persecuted nation in Pakistan. There are lots of examples of Christian persecution since the inception of Pakistan.
Today, Pakistani Christians are regularly jailed, persecuted and even sentenced in false blasphemy cases. Pakistani fundamentalists are cutting the necks of Christians like street dogs, raping and abducting Christian girls. Shame on recent parliamentarians like Tahir Khalil Sandhoo and Kamran Michael who are enjoying the ministry with the ruling government, if they care even a little about their nation they should resign immediately and start working for Christians.
The recent case of Shafqat Masih is the worst example of blasphemy cases lodged against Christians because his whole family is in custody of the police and they have been shifted far away from their home city. This is the same case in which I was trapped and had to spend four years in prison for this offence. No Christian is such fool to send a blasphemous message to any Muslim cleric especially when they know the consequences, also, every Christian parent teaches their children not to involve their selves in any anti-Islamic activity.
There are no organizations especially Christian NGOs who are helping these victims of blasphemy instead they depends upon the local NGOs who do nothing but provides false news to the international media, normally all these organizations are the agents of the government of Pakistan who provides news according to the guidance of the Government of Pakistan.
Peace Worldwide condemns the misuse of blasphemy law in Pakistan because it is creating hate and inferiority complex in the minds of Pakistani Christians, the government, the secret agencies and courts are silent when several innocent Christians are facing persecution due to blasphemy law.
Pakistan should stop genocide of Christians of Pakistan. Or else a time will come when Christians of Pakistan will consider Pakistan their enemy and will rebel against it because same concept of two nation theory applies here.

Hector Aleem describes two nation theory in Pakistan
Before the arrival of Islam in the subcontinent, nations living there like Christians, Buddhists and Hindus were living peacefully, then came the robbers and thugs like Mohammad Bin Qasim, Mehmood Ghaznavi and others from Afghanistan and Middle East, who disturbed those peaceful people and demolished and ruined their worship places. Pakistani Muslims of today still read those awful deeds of their ancestors with fun and tell these stories to children proudly and now have named their nuclear missiles on the names of these terrorists and thugs. Then came the British, who ruled this region for many years, Muslims of that time raised their voice for two nation theory and describing it as that they have different dresses and different religion from Hindus. But the Christians of this region have been facing discrimination since the arrival of Muslims in this continent because the real enemy of Christians are Muslims not Hindus since the arrival of Islam. Their history is full of killing Christians and Jews when Islam spreaded. When Muslims arrived in subcontinent, they followed the same path of their ancestors and targeted Christians of the region. Muslims are targeting Christians all over the world whether they are in a Muslim country or a non-Muslim country. Where Islam is dominant (as in the Middle East and Pakistan) religious minorities suffer brutal persecution with little resistance. Where Islam is in the minority (as in Thailand, the Philippines and Europe) there is the threat of violence if Muslim demands are not met. Either situation seems to provide a justification for religious terrorism, which is persistent and endemic to Islamic fundamentalism.
Pakistani Christians are very peaceful nation and they waited for 67 years for their right of free speech and freedom to practice their religion but they are never allowed to do so in Pakistan. Two Nation theory applies here because Christians have everything different with Muslims. Christians, Jews and Muslims are called Abrahamic religions but Muslims created the difference by calling God, Allah and it is forbidden for many non-Muslims in Muslims countries to call Allah as their God. This is the biggest difference they have created. Muslims only had differences of dress and religion with the Hindus but Christians have difference of religion, culture, language, customs, dresses and everything with the Muslims. According to our Christian faith, Jesus Christ is the son of God, Christianity is based on it, and we believe that God gave all His powers to Jesus Christ, this is our faith and after Jesus Christ no prophet is required. We have been hearing that Islam spread through sword, and it is still happening in Pakistan, I have witnessed what they do to Christians of Pakistan, Christians are forcibly made to accept the Muslim Prophet as their last prophet, they are forced to renounce their religion and faith and practice the Christianity according to Islam. We are forced to accept Prophet Mohammad as our last prophet and our Christian girls are forced to cover their heads during the recitation of Quranic verses and Azan in every part of Pakistan. During these 67 years, Christians of Pakistan have faced the worst examples of discrimination. It is now time that Christians should rise against this discrimination because it is unbearable when we see our Christian girls and women being raped and kidnapped and when the judge gives the decision in favour of the rapist and kidnappers by keeping discrimination and prejudice in his mind. In blasphemy cases, one can experience the worst example of discrimination and torture in prison during this case. I, myself have been the victim of this discriminatory law and experienced and eye witnessed worst form of torture that is impossible for me to explain. The First Information Report (FIR) of a blasphemy case can be lodged on oral statement and no official investigate the case before lodging the FIR. It is required that the plaintiff should be a Muslim and the officials trust him blindly, the accused is than brought in front of the plaintiff and clerics by the police officers and they torture him in front of his plaintiffs and others. The lawyers boycott the accused and no one takes his/her case and leaves the accused alone. It is essential that the judge who is dealing the blasphemy case should be a Muslim and when the accused is produced before the court, the first question of the judge is “Why did you do it” no one asks him if he really does it? In the result, the victim losses his family, house, relatives, respect and friends and during or before the trail he gets killed by the police or inmates. Same is in the education system; the teachers are discriminative towards the Christian students. From the very first day of school, Christian child starts to hear that Christianity is a false religion and that they should accept Islam if they want to go to Heaven. Christians never get any key post in police and district management.
Now let’s talk about Politicians of Pakistan, we all know about Fazal ur Rehman who recruited many Talibans. Chairman of Council of Islamic Ideology (Islami Nazriati Council) is Maulana Sharani of JUI (F) (Jamiat Ullema Islam – Fazal ur Rehman), the same maulana who criticised a Christian MNA (Member of National Assembly) Tariq.C.Qaiser, who recited “in the name Our Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit” in National Assembly though Tariq C Qaiser was reciting it as his own faith. After that they tormented and harassed him that much that he had to flee the country. Politicians like Imran Khan and Maulana Fazal Ur Rehman talks against Christianity bravely and proudly without any hesitation and give statements in favour of Talibans. When any terrorist attack or a blast occurs in Christian enclaves or Church we hear only one statement from President to MNAs (Member of National Assembly) that no Muslim can do this it is an act of enemies of Islam. Same is with print and electronic media of Pakistan; they keep disgracing Christianity and spread false news and hateful material about Christianity.
In the end I would like to say that Christians have not arrived in this region from USA or Europe they are the indigenous people of this region, but Muslims of Pakistan proudly tells about their ancestors as Sherazi from Sheraz, Bukhari from Bukhara, Qureshi from the Quresh tribe of Arab and etc. We the Christians of Pakistan are keeping our eyes on the international community and organisations like United Nations and Commonwealth to promote us because no one is helping us. Real Two Nation theory applies here in Pakistan, we want our separate homeland where we will be able to preach and practice our religion freely and openly. My article should not be made as a base of a separate homeland for Muslims living in USA or Europe because they have in migrated here from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and other Muslim countries but we are the indigenous people of subcontinent and we have the right to demand for our own homeland but Muslims of USA and Europe doesn’t. Also Muslims in Europe and USA are enjoying freedom and equal rights but on the other hand Christians of Pakistan are suffering torture, discrimination and extinction. It is our right for a separate Christian homeland in Pakistan.

Decision of false cases against Hector Aleem
False cases were lodged against Mr. Hector Aleem Chairman Peace Worldwide when he raised his voice against the destruction of Church. Decision copies of these false cases are attached here so everyone can read, these decisions are proof of Hector's innocence. The main reason behind these false cases was to stop the noble cause of Hector Aleem. Whenever the judge ordered Hector to be released, he was not released by the authorities, there were always lame excuses to keep him in prison. He was also acquitted honorably from the false blasphemy case under section 295-C, the judge ordered strict action against Prosecution, Complainant and police officers. You can read the decision of false blasphemy case HERE.

Hector Aleem always protected minorities in Pakistan
Mr. Hector Aleem head of Peace Worldwide, had always protected minorities especially Christians and churches in Pakistan. Qamar Abdullah a government official tried to rape a Christian woman and tortured her brutally. As Qamar Abdullah was a government official, the government protected him and ignored the rape case against him and started to file many cases against Mr. Hector Aleem, destroyed the houses of victim and eye witnesses and started propaganda against Mr. Hector Aleem. These are the tactics of government of Pakistan to ignore the real issue and promote false cases and start propaganda against the victims and activists and hire traitors for the propaganda to show the world, international organisations and embassies that the victim is not a victim actually but a culprit.
There are false stories about the church that it was built illegally on an illegal land but the church was legal and the church issue was real and these pictures and all letters are the proof of Hector Aleem's peaceful struggle. Peace Worldwide administration have decided to upload and publish all letters and photographs of church and other human rights issues.
