U.S.: He confessed and would not recant

FAISALABAD, PAKISTAN (ANS) -- A 23 year-old Pakistani Christian has died of injuries as a result of five days of severe torture by Islamic militants for refusing to convert to Islam, the UK-based Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) reports.

Javed Anjum, a Christian from Toba Tek Singh District, was tortured for five days and nights by Islamic extremists from a 'madrassa' or Islamic school in the district.

CSW reported the torture included electric shocks and burns from warm iron rods. He suffered 26 injuries. He was hospitalized for 11 days, and died at the Allied Hospital in Faisalabad at 2.12am on 2 May. Doctors said his kidneys had failed and he had undergone dialysis four times. His right arm was fractured, and electric shocks to his ears had affected his hearing. According to the doctors' report, "his bladder stopped working. Instead of urine, he was passing blood or pus."

In his statement to the police before he died, Javed said: "I was searching for water near the Islamic madrassa when the Maulvis (mullahs) took me inside and told me that I was a thief and was trying to steal the water pump. I rejected the charge and told the Islamic leaders that I am a Christian youth and a student. I had come here to attend a marriage. As soon as the Islamic extremists came to know that I am Christian they asked me to convert to Islam. I refused and they started torturing me. They would continue the torture from night till morning. They tortured me badly and during the torture they continuously asked me to accept Islam."

What's the standard patter about Islam? A what of pieces?

It is unlikely that anything will happen to Javed's murderers; they are Muslim; Pakistan is a Muslim country, and the authorities are unlikely to act against a Muslim on behalf of a Christian.

So, Javed Anjum is a martyr for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He didn't blow up anybody in a bid to kill Jews. Instead, he confessed Christ Jesus and would not recant. For this, gross torture and death. In the striving against sin, Javed Anjum resisted unto blood and death.
