after receiving a fatwa (religious decree) from a Muslim religious leader, to justify their actions. Later on, it was disclosed that the Muslim religious leader was bribed to provide the 'fatwa.'

When Masih went to Gill to demand his daughters back Gill refused to let them go. Gill, though, threatened Masih and said that now the girls had accepted Islam they could not return to their Christian family. Ashfaq Fateh, a Christian social worker from Toba Tek Singh, told Minorities Concern of Pakistan that Gill warned Masih that if he filed a case against him, his family would be killed. He also claimed that he could not be caught by the police or found guilty by any court.

Despite these threats, Masih reported all the details to the local police. However, no action has been taken to get the girls released and the police have told him to keep quite about the whole affair.

The young ladies should have their day in court.And they should make their own mind. What they are doing the Muslim is showing the world they are not as strong as they lead on.Kidnapping is cowardly and very disrespectful to ALLAH.And if they are not ashame I am for them. We serve a GOD that allows one to choice him. Thats the beauty of it. For when that day come when we speak or pray no more then he will look each in the eye and say You has done well my good and faithful servant. Your actions is the key not threats.You shouldnt have to force noone to be your houseguest and slavery was abolish 1817?
