Christians of Pakistan

Maulana Sahib,

With all the teaching of Islam you have`nt learned

much. In one of your responses you wrote this:



`` Reading the responses on this article brings a delicate question in my mind:

Do you know what the Christians of Pakistan claim on their Visa Applications for forieghn countries?

Ans: Political Asylum and that they are treated poorly in Pakistan. ``

There are alot of Educated Christains who have left Pakistan because people like you will never

learn. I wish the US and other countries let all

the christians immigrate so you can create a model

country.

I would love to see that model.

Yet another jewel in our crown for our tolerance, and amicablity towards Christians....

Regards

Asim

Christians `horrified` at Pakistan killings



A leading Pakistani bishop says the country`s Christian

community is horrified by the killing of a Christian

family. The killings, in the northern city of Nowshera,

have been linked to the apparent belief of some local

people that the head of the family practised spiritual

healing and magic.



Bishop Samuel Ezrayah: Fear of ethnic cleansing

But Bishop Samuel Ezrayah said the family were the victims

of religious discrimination, and that the killings were

the result of a fundamentalist attitude towards religion,

being encouraged by the Pakistan government. Police

investigations are continuing into the slaying of the nine-

member family, headed by retired sanitary worker John M

Sabir Bhatti. One of the dead was an eight-month-old

baby.Before the killers left the house, they daubed a

message in blood onone of the walls, reading: ``This is the

end of black magic``.



Son survived

Mr Sabir Bhatti used to dispense spiritual advice to both

Christians and Muslims and it seems he received his killers

in his consultation room. According to the police, he was

the first to die and the killers then went through the rest

of the house, looking for more victims. They had their

necks slit, before being beheaded. The bodies of the

victims have been sent for post- mortems. Mr Sabir Bhatti`s

son, Javed, survived the attack because he was not in the

house at the time. He said the family had no enmity with

anyone and the fact that three generations of his family

have been eliminated, he said, showed that there was no

government in Pakistan.Christian minority Christians make

about 4% of Pakistan`s population of 140 million people.

They are scattered all over the country, most living in the

province of Punjab. In February 1997, Muslim extremists

protesting against alleged desecration of the holy book,

the Koran, attacked a Christian village near Khanewal in

central Punjab, destroying homes and burning churches. But

local people say Nowshera has not seen any friction between

Muslims and Christians.

Peace.

I don`t even know if you`ll ever read this, but anyway, I just wanted to thank you for a great article voicing concern over a very serious issue in our society. I have a Christian friend; we were in school together in 6th through (10th grades/classes) in Pakistan. Even at that young age, I remember her distress over the sometimes very obvious prejudice she had to face.

I think that the majority of a society should not impose their ``ways`` on the minorities. This goes for anyone, anywhere in this world. I am a Christian, and God said that He made them equal, man and woman. We are all created equal and anything that preaches against that is an abomination unto God. Eventhough Muslims, Hindoos, nor Sikhs believe in the God I serve, they are still my brothers and sisters. It is a fact, that you cannot force something down someones throat and expect them to conform to it. The Muslims and Hindoos tried that and that created Sikhism. They tried it again and it caused the India-Pakistan wars. The Catholics tried to do that and it caused the Crusades. As Christians we are expected to suffer for Christ`s sake. This means that we should already expect hard times wherever we step. Don`t fight back though, don`t complain. We know what the outcome is, the devil looses and God wins. So don`t complain. Don`t get me wrong, what the Muslims are doing is wrong but how great is it when we have the chance to die for the one who was sacrificed for us. If a Christian reads this remember one thing, God will never put more on you than you can bare. He knew you before you were born, He knows you better than you know yourself. For the Pakistani and Hindustani Christians, don`t worry, help, relief, and deliverance is on the way and it comes in the name of Jesus Christ.

To whom ever this may reach,

I love you,

God bless you and keep you.

Islam is barbaric mediaval cult. It destrys human value system developed over centures, called civilisation. Some people call Islam "cancer" to humanity. Pakistan is no exception. The actual remedy of this problem is keeping moslems with large number of humans. It is like domesticating dog. Making the dog eat rice,biscuit...human food. If you allow the dog to live a life like stray street dog, it will again start consuming shit...I don't know why USA wanted to domesticae such a large number of animals, when they had the option of culling...
The same story as Copts in Egypt...The decendents of Pharaos, who had created Nile civilisation are migrating...and the country is turning into barbarism...
In India, moslems are little bit domesticated, specially in South India...
