Lisa Nasim Basari, a 28-year-old Coptic Christian girl living with a very few remaining family in Minya province, Egypt, recently made a video descrying the advances of a Muslim man who has been pressuring her to convert to Islam and marry her.
According to her account, Wa’il Hassan Abdul Mu’min started to appear whenever she left the house; when she would go walking on the streets he would be there. He eventually asked her to convert to Islam and marry her—even offering her money—but the Coptic woman refused.
At that point, things took an ugly turn. Among other things, he attacked and burned portions of the grocery store she worked in, tore her clothes, and sexually abused her.
Lisa eventually went to local police to file a formal report against him, but, as she explained in the video, the police, far from interfering, actually incited the Muslim man—who appears to be affiliated with the police department—to keep harassing her.
They also imprisoned her for a time and “tortured” her into abandoning the complaint against Abdul Mu’min.
In the video, she pleas for help begging some authority in Egypt to intervene and prompt Abdul Mu’min to leave her in peace.
It’s difficult to interpret what goes on in other societies, but it seem to me that Abdul Mu’min’s association with the police is that he’s one of their ‘usual suspects’. I think that the local police gave Abdul Mu’min a Love Jihad as his community service. And quite probably, Abdul Mu’min is not the kind of suitor that anyone with an honorable Muslim daughter would want as a son-in-law.
