Response to Hector Aleem case - from Bishop Isaac Mall

Often truth is just a perception?

-

I have received the following email from Bishop Isaac Mall in response to a recent request for help in the case of Hector Aleem. I have been asked to post this in order to bring some balance to the previous story (sic).

Dear Mr. Wilson

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.I am Bishop Issac Mall, I am serving as Bishop in Lahore, Pakistan.I saw your website http://britishpakistanichristian.blogspot.com/I must say that you are doing a great job for the Christian Community.

I read the news of Hector Aleem, the person from Islamabad who was accused of Blasphemy along with Bashrat Masih. I have been working with various Christian organizations, i followed up that case in Rawalpindi with Francis Joseph of CLAAS.

We were in Rawalpindi for 1 whole month for this case. But then we left the case when we came to know the truth of Hector Aleem.

Although Joseph Francis was a very close friend of Hector Aleem, but still he backed out due to the reason that Hector Aleem really sent Blasphemous sms from Bashrat Masih `s number to frame him.

They both are also responsible for looting innocent Christian families in the name of their NGO. They took money from the poor Christians saying that they will send them abroad, they cheated more than 55 families, now these families are suffering because of them.Hector Aleem also played a game with the 2000 Christian Families of Chak Shahzad, they were peacefully living in the surroundings of Chak Shahzad, he made them sell their homes to shift to Chak Shahzad and illegally took over the property of CDA and sold it to these people at a low price. He also built a Church so that CDA will not be able to take back the land. He took millions of rupees from friends living abroad for the Church. But CDA forced these innocent people out of Chak Shahzad, so in reality this man Hector Aleem was responsible for getting these 2000 Families on the road.

There are more countless frauds he has been involved in. As for the story which is posted by his daughter Mehwish Aleem, i wish it was true. It is all fabricated and a lie. She is not aware of what her father has actually been doing in the name of Peace World Wide.

Mr. Wilson in Pakistan whenever a case of Blasphemy is filed against any Christians the local community and the Christian Organizations rush to try to resolve the issue, the same happened in the case of Hector Aleem, but everyone backed off due to his repute. He even had the support of many foreign friends, they also included people from German Embassy, Canadian Embassy and French Embassy.

The Ambassadors of these embassies also visited him, but when they all did the fact finding, they were shocked that they have been believing him all this time.It is common sense that the reason the local community of Rawalpindi / Islamabad, Christian organizations and the foreign embassies backed out, it is all due to a genuine reason.

If Aleem was innocent people would have stood by him. But he is a cheat and he risked the life of a Christian person to get away with all the money he has robbed from the innocent people.

Come to Rawalpindi / Islamabad and see how these people are suffering because of this man. They gave him all the earnings of their lives, they are left with nothing.

I guess you didnt know these facts about him, thats the reason you have posted the story.I humbly request you not to support such a person. All the Christan Websites in Pakistan and the Christian Magazines dont even write about Hector, as they dont want to be labeled as a supporter of a cheat and a blasphemer.

It was my duty to inform you about the truth, the rest is for you to decide.

God Bless You Abundantly.

A humble Servant of God

Bishop Issac Mall

I have received a number of emails regarding the colourful history of Hector Aleem and accept that he may have been responsible for a number of misdemeanors. I condone none of those acts, however, it seems unreasonable to me that an individual can be placed in jail indefinitely under allegations of a blasphemy. I am not against Hector being convicted for any of his other crimes and he should be sentenced for those according to the appropriate laws in place. The fact that Christian organisations are not willing to tackle the Blasphemy case is rather disappointing, however, I will continue to challenge wider NGO's to assist with respect to the blasphemy case.

If you are wondering about the title it is meant to indicate that peoples perceptions of truth can be developed from limited knowledge, emotional tie and peer pressure. In this case already there are a number of different views and perspectives. We must not forget the emotional tie to a husband and father that the family of Hector will have and should curb any excessive condemnation or targeting of a family who may not be aware of the full implications of Hector's purported activities (good or bad). They still deserve support through a difficult time and I hope people recognise that the sins of a father are not inherited by future generations.

Peoples views are important and I encourage others to add their own comment to this particular post.

Thank you for your king words with respect to my work Bishop Isaac Mall.
