Pakistani court allows Hindu girls to decide their own fate

Deutsche Welle, 18 Apr 2012

The Pakistani Supreme Court has ruled that the three Hindu girls, who claim they were forced to marry Muslim men and covert to Islam, are able to choose to live according to their wish. But is it really possible?

The court's decision has received criticism from Pakistani rights groups, which say that it would be impossible for Rinkle Kumari, Lata, and Asha Kumari to act freely. They say the girls and their families are under immense pressure from influential political clans who kidnapped them from the southern Sindh province of Pakistan in February and forced them to convert to Islam.

The girls have testified to the court that they had married the Pakistani men out of their own free will, and that nobody had pressurized them into this.

On the contrary, the leaders of the Hindu community in Pakistan say the girls were forced to change their religion.

Rights organizations in Pakistan report widespread social and cultural discrimination against minorities in the country.

Akram Masih Gil, Pakistan's minister for religious minorities, had earlier called for stronger legislation to protect Pakistani religious minorities from forced conversions. However, in the absence of strong legislation, forced conversions of Hindus and Christians go unabated.

Family members of the girls, who were present during the Wednesday hearing, protested against the court's decision.

Mohan Das, Asha Kumari's father, told the media that he was very unhappy with the decision.

"First, they kidnapped my daughter, and then took 1.8 million rupees (roughly 15 thousand euros) in ransom. Then they demanded 3.5 million rupees," said Das, adding that discrimination against religious minorities was forcing Pakistani Hindus to flee to neighboring India, a Hindu-majority secular state.

Hindus make up 2.5 percent of the 174 million people living in Pakistan. The majority of them, over 90 percent, live in Sindh.

Mian Abdul Haq and his son Mian Aslam, who are the main people accused in the case, said they were only performing their religious duty.

"The court decision has proven that the allegations against us were baseless. The three girls had converted to Islam out of their own free will. In future, if more Hindu girls come to us to convert to Islam, we will facilitate them," said Aslam.

Amarnath Motumal, vice chairperson of the Sindh Chapter of Pakistan's Human Rights Commission, and also a member of the minority Hindu community, told DW that the Pakistani Hindus "are very scared and not getting any help from anywhere."

"Kumari was forced to convert and then pressured to write a statement of consent, which is used in the court under article 164 of the Pakistani constitution as justification for her conversion. What can their parents and friends do under these circumstances?" said Motumal.

Motumal blames forced conversions on religious extremism. "These people think that by converting a Hindu girl to Islam they will earn a place in heaven," he said.

“.. For centuries you haven't been able to think past that box of what God must be like. So you create a Human-like God with wars in heaven, angel strife, things that would explain the devil, fallen angels, pearly gates, lists of dos and don'ts, and many rules still based on cultures that are centuries old. You create golden streets and even sexual pleasures as rewards for men (of course) - all Human perspective, pasted upon God. I want to tell you that it's a lot different than that. I want to remind you that there are those who have seen it! Why don't you ask somebody who has had what you would call a near-death experience?

9. It can be no other way—simply, this is the physics that governs life in this universe. As Earth continues apace into successively higher planes, nothing with low vibrations in any form—physical bodies, subversive plans, theft, dishonesty, unjust laws and imprisonment, bigotry, cruel customs and deeds—can survive.

10. Moving on, no, it will not be quite like religions being “totally discarded and replaced by universal laws in the Golden Age.” When the truths come forth that science and spirit are one and the same and that religious dogmas were originated by early leaders of church and state to control the masses, people whose consciousness has risen beyond the constraints of third density will adhere to the spiritual aspects of their respective religions and the devised, controlling aspects will fall by the wayside.

11. One of the truths to come forth is that Zionism, which by dark intent has been made synonymous with Judaism, actually is a bellicose political movement within the Illuminati, and its aim for more than six decades has been to create conflict and instability in the entire Middle East. Zionists, who have wielded powerful influence within and behind major governments and their military forces, do NOT represent the Jewish peoples in Israel or anywhere else. And, like all other Illuminati factions, they have been committed to that cabal’s goal of global domination.

12. Although Semites are of diverse national origins and religions, the Zionists have been successful in convincing many that “anti-Semitic” is exclusively prejudice against the Jewish peoples and opposition to Israel’s right to defend itself from its “enemies.” By means of that blatant distortion, they obtained not only world sympathy, but also massive defense funding from Israel’s allies, most especially the United States, all of which served to increase the Illuminati’s vast profits from their industrial-military machine.

13. In addition to controlling the masses through dogmatic teachings, religions have served the dark purpose of divisiveness to such an extent that it resulted in centuries of trauma and bloodshed. Witness the Crusades, wars between Catholics and Protestants, pogroms against Jews, executions of “blasphemous” individuals who refused to “recant.”  (Read More …)
