In a harrowing incident of religious hatred, Farhan Ul Qamar, a 20-year-old Christian from Talwandi Inayat Khan village in Punjab Province, Pakistan was brutally gunned down on Nov. 9th. The killer, acknowledged as Muhammad Zubair not only confessed to the crime but according to reports showed a deep-seated resentment towards Christians and Jews.

The terrible event occurred at the victim’s house where his family members were also subjected to an unnerving ordeal lasting approximately 40 minutes. The accused did not allow them to comfort their fatally injured son or provide him with water. Muhammad Zubair referred to the balanced Christian family incorrectly as Jews and continued his rant while brandishing his weapon.

Noor Ul Qamar, the bereaved father recalls that momentarily before departing, Zubair ordered him to take shelter on the roof and coerced his wife into unlocking the main gate. On his way out, he fired shots in the air, shouting “Allahu Akbar” before fleeing from the scene.

The unsettling silence of their neighbors created further dismay for Farhan’s family who were too fearful to intervene during this heartbreaking occurrence. Despairingly, Farhan breathed his last en route to hospital; doctors believing they could have potentially saved him if he had arrived earlier.

Muhammad Zubair’s intolerance visibly escalated after events transpired in Gaza last month prompting the departure of several Christian families from their village including Aqib Javed and Asher Javed who were assaulted for allegedly declaring support for Israel.

Zubair seemingly targeted Asher or Aqib Javed under a false belief however confirmed information indicates it was actually Farhan he sought out even specifying by name when attempting home entry thus hinting at an intentional murder plan rather than mistaken identity.

Despite Muhammad Zubair being placed under arrest following these findings, perpetual threats emanating from multiple sources linked with suspect persuade victims’ family to exercise extreme caution. Noor Ul Qamar’s primary desire is now to secure a reputable and proficient legal representative in their quest for justice, fearing the possibility of Zubair escapism from his rightful punishment.

In sharing their anguish over their youngest son’s abrupt demise, the family plead for assistance from legal aid groups and Christian organizations. Education enthusiast Farhan aspired towards a promising career in health sector after graduation but had his dream tarnished prematurely by religious hatred that prevails occasionally among the 20-25 notified Christian families living in this area natives like Ul Qamar’s family have resided for generations at.

Pakistan currently ranks seventh on Open Doors’ 2023 World Watch List making it a challenging place to express Christianity freely. The belief system which advocates love, peace and forgiveness has unfortunately become a target pushing some followers into unforeseen danger.
