Excellent interview with Imran Firasat, the Pakistani convert to Christianity given asylum in Spain, who dared to make a film about the paedophile Prophet Muhammad, which has resulted in the Spainish government threatening to deport him back to Pakistan, where he will be executed.
Imran says, “Christians all over the Muslim world are being burned alive, tortured, and persecuted for refusing to convert to Islam. Yet when I, as an ex-Muslim speak out, I am threatened and persecuted by Spanish officials” who apparently fear a Muslim backlash. (Makes one wonder why, after so many years of tyrannical Muslim domination in Spain they would even allow any Muslims into their country today)

it is a Patriots duty to find safe harbor for this freedom fighter and truth sayer . Spain is a long way too reach out but reach out we will ! the government will know our wrath
Hats off Imran!! You are my HERO!!
this is not all. We’ll work on more parts of the interview which are still not translated
Good interview.
How could he not know that being with a non-muslim would not be tolerated? Did he think it only happens to others? Seems to me if he had of fallen in love with a Muslim, then he would have continued on, not caring about the persecution of others because it didn’t directly affect him. It’s great that he has spoken up, albeit if it was for his own selfish reason.
I do not think it is for selfish reasons, but a sincere conviction and wanting others to be saved from the false religion islam!
Criticizing Islam considered national security threat
Spanish authorities threaten to deport Christian to certain death for speaking out
By Taylor Rose
WASHINGTON – As tensions continue to surge over the expansion of Shariah law both in the Middle East and in Europe, a new speech rights case has emerged in Spain where an ex-Muslim Christian convert is threatened with deportation for speaking out against Islam.
Imran Farasat, who was interviewed by WND, is a Pakistani Christian who converted from Islam in 2004, after, he said, “I realized that what I was following for 26 years of my life is not a religion but in reality is a political dictatorship which persecutes and teaches to persecute through the orders and teachings of a self-proclaimed prophet (Muhammad).
After his conversion to Christianity, he began to speak out against Islam. He told WND, “Muslims are involved everywhere in terrorism. Christians are being persecuted in Islamic countries to the maximum level of torture and suffering and Islam is trying to invade the Western world and kill our values. Who will stop this all?”
In his legal fight, he’s represented by The Legal Project, which describes itself as working “…to protect the right in the West to freely discuss Islam, radical Islam, terrorism, and terrorist funding.”
It has a large, transnational clientele that “includes authors, bloggers, journals and politicians.”
He adds on a more personal note that it is the tenets of his Christian faith that lead him to resist Islam.
“It is the time that the citizens of the Western world should stand up and speak the truth against something what is wrong. [The] Bible teaches us to speak the truth in any situation. And for me the truth is that Islam is a man-made religion which was created in order to govern the world. It has several contradictions in itself. It teaches killing (Jihad), hate non-Muslims, discriminate women, rule the world at any price etc….”
According to Sam Nunberg, an attorney at The Legal Project who spoke to WND on the details of the case, it was threats from the Islamic community for violating Shariah blasphemy laws that prompted the Spanish Interior Ministry to grant refugee asylum status in 2004.
See what happens to Christians under Islam, in “A Cry From Iran.”
While in Spain, Imran continued his activism against Islam, by calling for the Quran to be banned throughout Europe and after the attacks on the American consulate in Benghazi, releasing a film about Muhammad called “The Innocent Prophet.”
Since the film’s Internet debut, the Spanish Interior Ministry has revoked his asylum status and is now threatening to send him back to Pakistan on the grounds that his activism is “creating national security concern,” according to Nunberg.
The fight now is in the Spanish courts.
But The Legal Project noted, “The Spanish government has revoked Imran Farasat’s asylum status because he made a film. Besides denying him his right of freedom of expression, the government is now trying to facilitate his transfer to Pakistan where Imran will face certain death for blasphemy. It is downright shameful. The Legal Project plans to take every measure possible to make sure that does not happen.”
Spanish government’s role
“He was granted political asylum in 2004 in Spain, and it was granted specifically because his life was in danger because he criticized Islam.”
Nunberg described the case to WND as a straightforward legal fight, explaining, “The Spanish government is reneging on the fact that they granted him asylum in the first place…”
However, Nunberg says that it is more fundamentally “…a violation of his right to freedom of expression to be able to speak out against Islam.”
Both Nunberg and Imran suspect that there are “ideological” reasons behind the Spanish government’s decision to deport Imran. Nunberg told WND the impetus behind the fight now is that the “Spanish government is afraid to lose their economic relations with the Islamic countries. That is why they want to leave a message to the Islamic world that they have taken sufficient actions against someone who criticized Muhammad.”
Nunberg additionally believes the Spanish government is supporting the implementation of Shariah and appeasing Islam. When asked if this is true Nunberg replied “Sure. I would say definitely.”
Imran also adds, “The Spanish government wants to set an example for all the Western countries that all the countries should do the same thing with the anti-Islamic bloggers and activists what Spain has done to me. My status has been revoked and I am on the verge to be deported, not because I have violated any Spanish law, but it is all because of the fear from the Islamic world.”
He said his life is in danger if forced to return to Pakistan.
“I know if I would be sent back to Pakistan, I will be killed on arrival for the blasphemy. What I consider is the truth. Muslims consider that the blasphemy. They do not have the capacity to bear the truth. That is why they kill brutally … everyone who speaks the truth about Muhammad,” he said.
Nunberg commented on the uniqueness of this case by saying that Imran “would be the first case where they [the Europeans] flat out extradite someone to an Islamic country to be killed for blasphemy.”
Nunberg also believes this case is a part of a larger agenda to forward the interests of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation via the Istanbul Process and the UN Resolution 16/18. The OIC, a collection of all Islamic nations at the UN, has been pushing for the implementation of laws globally to criminalize any negative reference to Islam or Muslims.
When asked by WND if this case can set a precedent for the implementation of new speech codes against Islam in Europe, Nunberg said, “Yes that is exactly it. This is certainly a precedent.”
He adds though it is not just Islamic and European nations that are pressing the agenda but the United States under President Barack Obama as well.
“This would set the precedent and Obama also set the precedent. By using the rationale that the Benghazi attack … was all caused by spontaneous combustion … by a video, it becomes the rationale that it [freedom of speech] is a crime.”
Imran also fears the encroachment of Shariah will lead to hate speech laws that protect Islam, while ignoring attacks on Christianity.
“Then a day will arrive in a very near future when expressing your view on Islam will be declared a legal crime according to the Western constitutions. Anyone can criticize Jesus Christ and insult the Christianity and nothing happens. But criticizing Muhammad for his cruel acts and corrupt life doesn’t fall anymore under the right of liberty of speech.”
Nunberg argues that this case serves the core presuppositions of the Istanbul Process and UN Resolution 16/18 by shifting responsibility away from the perpetrator to the victim. He says it sets the legal precedent that, “They [Islamic extremists] are not responsible for the attack, but rather we are responsible for provoking the attack.”
He adds that thanks to already existing European hate speech laws, it provides an already institutionalized precedent for expanding those laws to include the prohibiting of the defaming of Islam.
Nunberg suspects a darker agenda behind the Spanish government, because, “The Spanish Interior Ministry will not even say who accused him….He cannot even face his accuser.”
Imran confesses that even if he is deported back to Pakistan and killed, “I will be happy to die even, if I can change the mentality of some Muslims before something happens to me. I never hated Muslims. For me they are blind. What I hate is the Islamic violent ideology which is not compatible to our Western world.”
He also adds that despite his troubles, “Today I feel proud to say that I am a Christian. I have found the real God and the true message of life. I know that Christ has a special purpose for my life which is to expose the false prophets who misguide and mislead people. I want the entire Muslim world to know that truth which I have recognized.”
Dubi, please don’t post such long articles. Post a few paragraphs and the link for more. You didn’t post the link at all.
Shalom Bonni,

Rene, I will send that to him. But he already has a Canadian Legal firm working to get him asylum in Canada.
Thanks Bonnie will let Wilson know about that. Sorry for delay in reply – Blessings – Rene
i think spain has forgotten her past
I hope that this brave man would be most welcome in Canada. If the Canadians are well aware of the support that is needed to open the doors for him to go to Canada I know that they would write to their members of parliament and so on in support for this brave man.
Those who forget their history are bound to repeat it! Can you imagine that all the Crusaders are turning over in their graves at this point in time? Maybe it’s just an ugly kismet for their turning on the Jews who helped them defeat the Caliphate…
“All religions” that practice violence and hate toward people that do not follow there sick religious agenda should be totally and forcably banned!!!.Whether its flying posters of hate or actually physically doing the deed. It should be against the law all across the globe.The people of earth should ban together,form a special OPS world wide team(s) and wipe all those that refuse and seek to go underground.Arrest them or do whatever it takes to take them down. Then we could have some better peace on earth and move toward more protective agenda’s for the people of this planet. Too many in gov’t are not doing enough or not doing anything except pleasing these hate groups.The UN is useless!!!We need to pull out and save our money.Its been taken over by one or more of these hate groups.
Firasat did not convert to christianity in 2004, as he was claiming aylum because he was still a muslim. His case was based on Forbidden Love between a muslim and Buddhist, a Bollywood Romeo and juliet
It was a love story that crossed continents and defied religious obscurantism this love stronger than anything, please. It was not until 2006 that he may have converted after his first application was rejected.
With Spanish law, it is possible to file a second time an asylum application if the elements of persecution have changed..so the muslim Firasat converts away from islam because and make it impossible to return to Pakistan.
He was granted Special protection for humanitarian reasons because he was muslim, and he claimed his wife was an enthnic chinese Buddhist
Now Firast claims he was granted because of a real risk of suffering grave damages to his/ her life, for anti-islam remarks. This is not true, if it was he would have been granted Subsidiary protection: (With the new law the benefits of the subsidiary protection status are similar to those of a refugee status. According to article 4 of the law, it is given to persons that not fulfill the requirements for a refugee status, but about whom there are sufficient elements to consider that the person is at a real risk of suffering grave damages to his/ her life, personal integrity or grave threats provoked by an armed conflict or generalized violence.)
He was granted.
Special protection for humanitarian reasons: (According to article 46.2 of the law, for reasons different to those of the previous situations, the State can authorize the permanence of the person in the country under the general migration regime. This is applied in a very exceptional basis.)
One only has too see how many reports there are in this blog and elsewhere about how the ethnic chinese are treated in Indnesian, to realise that it is very unlikely that he wife was buddhist.
For a Buddhist to flee persecution in Indonesia, Pakistan is the last place to go.
And just to remind BNI, Digitala Alert is not the most reliable sources,
If we remember righty it was Alert Digital that where amongst the first to break the news That Firasat wants to burn the Koran in Spain
Then they are the first to break Firasats calls for ban on Quran.
So much for Alerta Digital and truth
Have a look at the Image in this article
In the former Dutch colony of Indonesia, a Muslim man is shown trampling the child of Christian parents.

What is tragic, this foto appears all over the net,
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ky_fACzI_ZQ/T2BhjxdbKhI/AAAAAAAAAxQ/LnIMOWB6SUs/s1600/pam+geller_+fitna29801768638.png

The foto is in fact
“A bizarre holy man has been arrested on child torture charges after horrified parents found him stamping on their youngsters’ throats to cure them of colds. Self-proclaimed demi-god Jamun Yadav, 50, told police his holy Hindu powers allowed him to transfer divine energy from the soles of his feet. He said the amazing feets of magic allowed him to fight all illnesses in Katihar, eastern India. “This is scandalous and we have arrested him. The parents didn’t know just what his treatment involved when they agreed to it,” said police spokesman Santosh Singh. “He claims he needs no defence in court because he speaks for God. So it should be an interesting trial,” he added.”
Conclusion is the Alerta Digital is not a very reliable source
And in Indonesia there is a dead christian, Victor Rizky Wiboyo
Infidelk9, I have been reading about these revelations about Imran at the ‘Islam vs Europe’ website in the past few days, and am starting to think we might have all been fooled about this guy. I am reconsidering my support for him.
I would like to add I do have links that strongly suggest that Firasat fled Spain because of financial irregularities.
To do a google research on Firasat does not bring up much about fraudulent activity.
Google search Jenny Setiawan -Santemder. or Jenny Setiawan -Kebabish Original SL. Then we see that Firasat was sneaky enough to have all the legal documents in his wifes name.
No wonder he is not in a hurry to bring her back. Not a very nice guy considering how he dragged his wife and children back to Indonesia.
Even worst their images are all over the net,
Here we start to find that they left without paying three months rent to a Mr Jose Fernando Fontaneda Aparicio
http://boc.cantabria.es/boces/verAnuncioAction.do?idAnuBlob=133369
And
File Number: AA/016/07. Beneficiary: ‘Kebabish Original, SL’ legal representative Mrs. Jenny Setiawan.
CIF: B39665336. In relation to the file that is in the City Council to revoke the subsidy provided to you, please be informed that it has been approved by the Local Government Board in session date of September 1, 2008 the following resolution:
http://legislacion.derecho.com/notificacion-14-noviembre-2008-ayuntamiento-de-santander-1434197
So our bogus Christian and bogus Buddhist take the infidels money and head to Indonesia. The Firasats magically had no problems to live in Indonesia,
Here we see the same thing again, starting up of a kebab business, but this time it was not only kebabs that where cut up.
BNI
Thankyou for reading, my posts and not trashing them which I was expecting.
I have never believed him,
#1 Buddhists fleeing Indonesia, would not got to Pakistan.
#2 There is nothing to be found about his counter jihad activities until after he left indonesia
#3 He would not have been able to buy himself for insulting Islam, the FPI nazis would not allow it. The police and FPI are as thick as thieves.
Here every body is making wild accusations against Spain, yet we have only heard Firasats side of the story.
Why isn’t he campaigning to get his wife and children out of Indonesia
Ik9, one part of what I read on Islam vs Europe about him kind of hit home – how he manipulates people for money. He asked me twice to raise money for him on my blog, which I refused to do. I told him since he has a blog of his own, he could put up a Paypal button himself. He has asked to list me as a supporter of his new movie, but now I think I will say no.
Here is what Ali Sini has to say about the Movie
Imran’s slide show is replete with inaccuracies and false claims. Apart from the fact that the pictures are unrelated to the story, the story is his personal opinion, not supported by facts. The arguments made against Muhammad in this video are straw man fallacies. The fact that someone is an ex-Muslim does not make him an expert on Islam. Not even one in a thousand Muslims knows the Quran and far fewer have read the original biographies of their prophet.
http://alisina.org/blog/2012/12/16/the-innocent-prophet-a-review/
So that is another reason not to support the film
Imran Firasat is a moslem.
He is flee away to Europe after he killed and mutilated his bussiness partner, Victor Rizky Wibowo.
He is a physcho, a horrible man.
BNI, please be carefull when collecting your sources.
you can read the news here,

(you can use google translator)
it seems all his testimonies are fake for the sake of your granting.
gguj, I have cut off all communication with Firasat as of about 2 months ago. I found out some things about him that caused me to doubt his sincerity. I never heard that he killed anyone though. Does that link confirm that?
