Pakistan: Christian community shocked after killings continue


A week ago 7o Muslims accused of murdering several Christians (some of them were burned alive) in Gojra were freed. But violence continues:
“Churches are trying to give them solace with daily prayers for peace,” Father Diego added
More than 30 people have been murdered in the last three days in target killings. Eight political workers from rival parties were killed yesterday as gunshots echoed in different areas around the city. Armed men occupied several buildings while others looted a few. 
Saima Mushtaq, a Caritas field worker, said she had to find alternative routes several times yesterday to pick up her son and take him home after tuition class.

Well, they shouldn’t be shocked, they should be horrified, and they should realize that the last days holocaust of Christians has begun in the Islamic world, according to prophecy. Pray for them.

I think they are, ronmorgen, but they are also paralysed, because I doubt they know what to do. Pakistani Christians (as other minorities) are not very well off, so they don't have a lot of alternatives...
