I just read through what your family had to endure, and it makes my blood boil… I literally have retrain myself going to see that pig of a niegbour of yours. I have seen him twice while I stayed at your place and even then I wanted to say something to him, but didn’t want to make matters worse for your dad…… It’s easier said than done, but we need to remind ourselves of what Jesus said, when he says blessed are those who are persecuted in my name, for they shall see the Kingdom of Heaven

Hi I am leading a small Church group in Bradford and I have raised Churches in India Pakistan and Nepal. We still have many India though I’ve not ministered in Pakistan or Nepal in quite some time. I am ready to stand with you and your family in every possible way. I am very much conversant with persecution and can tell you many things I endured whilst preaching to muslims Sikhs and Hindus. I believe that a change can be made even in the midst of such challenging circumstances!
I’m already praying for you and your family and it had been my prayer that God would put me in touch with you. I can and I will help.

Hi Anniesa
I am sorry for the extreme stress of being harassed and attacked by those who are blinded by Satan to do his will, those who think they are doing their god’s will. I brought your situation to our prayer group after reading the recent attack on your Dad. I am glad you are writing this blog and may you and your family all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Surely he will strengthen you all in Him as you trust Him. I pray for your Dad’s healing from the attack, knowing that our LORD is the God of all comfort (2 Corinthians). Also that He will bring something good in the midst of your huge challenges. It is sad and annoying that you have not received adequate support from the church in your area… We should not be ashamed of the gospel nor fear man. We all need to awaken to righteousness.
A sister in Christ.

Hi it’s Fyaz,
I came to stay at your house remember… Your dad told me about your blog, it’s very powerful and well written. I suggested to your dad that he gets a book published as I am doing…. Please sit down with him and get your story published. I can get you a ghost writer to help….. It’s time we fought back through all means at our disposal…

I have just read the article on dailymail regarding the abuse your family suffered due to your religion and ethnic background clash and can definitely say that I am shocked by this. There are a few Pakistani Christians in Pakistan where my mothers side of family are from and they do not suffer abuse from neighbouring Muslim Pakistani’s, and we even have a close friend/house helper who is Christian. Islam is about love for everyone so the majority of us don’t condone such behaviour. Even though I disagree with your fathers choice to convert which seems to have caused your family to revert to Christianity, I think that we should respect all people regardless of their religion. I am also in shock on how you expressed you had trouble making friends with other Pakistani Muslims because in Manchester where I am from, the groups of friends in college or high school are quite diverse. I wanted to go on to ask, what exactly made your father convert to Christianity? Also, was your mother reluctant to convert and do any of you siblings’ follow Islam now or considered/researched Islam?

Hi Peter, sincere thanks for your interest in this blog, an amateur platform in which I attempt to create awareness of Christian persecution in between my university workload. You are absolutely right and should you ever return to the UK you would find parts of it unrecognisable, particularly in the North. The UK has since become religiously indifferent, thereby creating a vacuum in which Puritanical Islam has crept in. Sadly the Churches, government and local authorities are not speaking up against this Islamic invasion nor are they defending their persecuted brethren so this tide of intolerant Islam will only continue to fester and increase. The country is in need of much prayer. Thank-you for yours.

Hello Anniesa. I came across your blog after reading of the suffering of your family in Barnabas Fund’s newsletter.
I live in Australia, but 40 years ago spent 3 years working in the east of England during which time I met a Christian and came to know Christ.
It grieves me greatly to see how Britain has changed in that time, for the most part abandoning its rich and long Christian heritage.
I also am greatly concerned of the persecution of Christians on an unprecedented scale, not just in Muslim countries, but also now in western countries.
But we must not be discouraged and ultimately our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual entities. When Christians suffer, so too does Jesus.
We must persevere in making known the suffering of Christians around this world, for sadly it seems many churches are either deaf, blind or indifferent.
So I want to thank you for blog and your efforts in making known the suffering Body of Christ.
May God give you His strength and wisdom.
My prayers are with you.
Peter
