WOMAN RAPED FOR LEAVING ISLAM

June 23 (Compass Direct) – Attacked by her own family, one Muslim’s decision to convert to Christianity highlights the precarious situation of Muslims in Pakistan who leave their faith. Sehar Muhammad Shafi, 24, has fled her home city of Karachi with her husband and two young daughters after being attacked and raped for changing her faith. Shafi told Compass that her family lives with the fear of being discovered. "My husband is keen to get a marketing job," Shafi said. "But I don’t want him to do something that open, where he will be known." Though returning to Islam would seemingly solve many of Shafi’s problems, the Christian woman said that is not an option. "It is not a joke to change religions," she said. "We’ve fallen in love with Jesus, so how could we betray him?"
