Singer A Nayyar forced to recite Kalma
Minorities in Lahore are worried by the recent incident in which prominent Christian singer A Nayyar was robbed and forced to recite Kalima.
That's when you accept Islam. Now he can be killed if he doesn't bump his forehead five times a day...
A Nayyar was walking to his house in Canal Park near Punjab chief minister’s house after recording songs at 2am on February 16 night, after he was dropped by a friend on the main road. Five or six unidentified young men, some of them wearing bandanas, stopped him, stole his money and after recognizing him, beat him up asking him to recite the Kalima, Mrs Nayyar told Daily Times. The young men ran away when people came out of their houses. Nayyar, who was injured, was not available for comment.

Mrs Nayyar said that they wanted to report the incident to the police and A Nayyar would visit the police station on Tuesday (today). She said the incident might be linked to the recent protests against controversial cartoons published in European newspapers. She said that they would lodge a formal complaint today (Tuesday). The incident has been condemned widely, and citizens said even if it was a routine robbery, it was alarming that young criminals forced a Christian to recite the Kalima for fun.
