A Christian man in his twenties was reportedly shot and killed by a Muslim co-worker in Pakistan after refusing to convert to Islam, Pakistani and Christian news sites are reporting.

The incident, which occurred last Wednesday, came on the heels of a new study which reported that hundreds of Christian and Hindu women in Pakistan are forced to convert to Islam every year.

The 22-year-old named Haroon began a new job as a cleaner at a bank in Lahore just days before his death, according to the reports. That's where he began working with a Muslim security guard identified as Umer Farooq.

"Farooq mocked Haroon's Christian faith on a daily basis" and tried to convince him to embrace Islam, Pakistan Christian Post reported.

The British advocacy group the Center for Legal Aid and Settlement (CLAAS), which monitors persecution of Christians in Pakistan, said in a statement that Farooq had promised Haroon a life of luxury and marriage to a wealthy Muslim woman if only he would convert. According to various reports, Haroon refused.

When Haroon went to work on April 16, the conversation over faith again resumed, CLAAS said.

Again hearing his colleague refused to convert away from Christianity, Farooq reportedly then shot Haroon in the head. Christian Today reported that Farooq later said Haroon had tried to kill himself.

The Religious Freedom Coalition reported the security guard had also told police his co-worker – the father of two young children – had "looked depressed."

But Haider Masih, father of the deceased, was quoted by the Religious Freedom Coalition saying his son "was a lively young man" who had shown no signs of depression.

The British monitoring group CLAAS said that while police took the guard into custody, they did not file the documentation known as a First Information Report necessary to proceed with a criminal case in Pakistan.

The local Christian community later protested at the police station, after which the paperwork was reportedly filed. The case is currently under investigation with the suspect still in police custody.

Nasir Saeed, director of CLAAS-UK, said, "Justice must be seen to be done and Farooq must be charged with murder, and punished for killing Haroon, just because he refused to forsake his faith and bow to the pressure being placed on him."

Earlier this month, a report issued by the Pakistani human rights group the Movement for Solidarity and Peace estimated that about 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls and women between the ages of 12 and 25 in Pakistan each year are forced to convert away from their faiths and marry Muslim men.

Because they know that their own souls would be harvested.

As a fact EU is getting converted on their own land and Muslims are harvesting Christian souls specially in UK.

And Supposedly the Land of the So Called "Pure" Pakistan was built on the basis of Secularism;
"Secularism" signifies "Muslims" today.

In that way Pakistan is really Secular.
