Pakistani Christian activist Faraz Pervaiz, who has been living in exile in Thailand for over a decade, has yet again been the subject of death threats from radical Islamic outfits.
On Saturday (27th July), he informed that a Debonadi organisation named ‘Allama Muhammad Rashid Madni Hamadi Jamia Darul Uloom Hamadiya’ had announced a $20,000 reward to behead him.
The radical Islamic outfit has accused Faraz Pervaiz of committing blasphemy by supposedly producing pictures and sketches of Prophet Muhammad. Posters, calling upon Muslims to do ‘Sar Tan se Juda’ of the Christian activist, are being circulated in Pakistan.
“According to Sharia, such a person is liable to death. It is the responsibility of the Islamic government to issue the death penalty to such a person,” the poster read.
Jamia Darul Uloom has appealed to Muslims to travel to Thailand and avenge the alleged insult to Prophet Mohammed by Faraz Pervaiz.
In a video posted on Facebook, radical Islamic preacher Muhammad Rashid Madani reiterated his unfounded claims about the Christian activist and called for his killing.
While speaking to OpIndia from Thailand, Faraz Pervaiz informed, “The purpose of putting a price on my head in Tando Adam and Sangar area is clear. I have been reporting about the forced conversion and rape of minor Hindu girls and their subsequent marriages to Muslim Men.”
The Christian activist told us that the allegations of blasphemy were designed to intimidate him to stop reporting about the plight of Hindu girls in Pakistan.
He added that the radical Islamic preacher Muhammad Rashid Madani is a close associate of Mian Mitho, infamous for conducting forced conversions and marriages.
