They burned homes, told Christians to convert to Islam or be killed, and burned Bibles. Will Christians worldwide riot over these burned Bibles? Will the UN issue condemnations of “defamation of Christianity” and call for the outlawing of “Christianophobia”?
Will the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims rise up and condemn these jihadist thugs who are distorting the True, Peaceful Teachings of Islam?
Another story on the escalating jihadist persecution of Christians in Pakistan: “Karachi Christians ‘locking themselves in homes,'” from CathNews, May 4 (thanks to Alexandre):
Christian families in Karachi, Pakistan are locking themselves in their own homes following escalating violence against them in recent weeks, Catholic Mission Pakistan director, Fr Mario Rodrigues has said.
Last week, six families’ homes were burned to the ground, along with shops, and a number of churches in the locale of Taiser Town, Karachi, Catholic Mission Australia reports.
Describing the violence, Fr Rodrigues said the perpetrators had “misbehaved with the women and asked them to accept Islam otherwise they will kill them.”
“They burnt the Holy Bibles and the worst, they have killed people (when) a group of 35 to 40 men armed with AK47, TT pistols, repeaters, and rifles and fired indiscriminately at the Christian community,” Fr Rodrigues said.
Prior to the violence, vandals had left messages on the Church walls which included – “Long Live the Taliban” and “Long Live Al Qaeda”.
Women were beaten on the streets and dragged by their hair, and many people were injured, Fr Rodrigues reported.
