Ali Raza: Man and Lahore Slum

ali raza: Some people had seen Tasleem in their Lahore slum with a Christian man, according to Hamilton Spectator. She was 18, a good Muslim girl, out in public with a man. Even now, they laugh at how easy it was to make him lose his temper. Even though the man had converted to Islam out of love for her, this couldn't be allowed. "Some guys got to know that his sister was having a relationship," says Ali Raza, a co-worker at the mill. "They would say: 'Can't you do anything What is the matter with you You are not a man.'" Raza can barely contain a smile as he talks about the hours spent needling Rajhu. "He used to tell us, 'If you don't stop, I will kill myself. He raises his voice to compete with the sounds of the coal-powered mill, and workers blackened by its dust gather to listen. Stop!'" Raza says. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
