Pakistani Christian calls for equal rights

Christians living in our friend and ally Pakistan still suffer under much of the discrimination and deprivation of dhimmi status. But this is a courageous community that is not willing to accept dhimmitude without a struggle.

According to the [1] Pakistan Christian Post, James Khokhar, a prominent Christian leader who has now been granted asylum in Canada, it is "time that [Pakistani] Christians shall be given equal opportunities to become doctors, engineers, scientist and businessman by the government of Pakistan."

Said Khokhar: the "government of Pakistan shall repeal blasphemy laws at an earliest to seek liberal image of Pakistan in international community." He said that the law, "section 295 C PPC," is an "open hanging sword on Christians in Pakistan and it ha[s] been misused by the majority community against Christians."
