Killed only because they were Christians. This is the terrible fate of two young sisters in Pakistan who refused to convert to Islam after the constant sexual harassment of some work colleagues. They were kidnapped, handcuffed and strangled in cold blood. A former Muslim imam from Uganda who recently converted to Christianity also suffered the same fate: assassinated only for choosing a religion that the local Muslims do not like.
These murders are particularly disturbing because they were carried out with scientific premeditation and not with instinctual brutality. Their deaths occurred in recent weeks but the cases have emerged only today also due to the embarrassment of the local authorities who do not always actively collaborate in the investigation of the crimes both in Pakistan, where the scourge of Christian girls kidnapped, raped and forced converting to marry Muslims is rampant, but also in Africa where law enforcement officers often do not want to meddle in local rivalries that go beyond religious aspects such as in Nigeria, where the clash between Muslim Fulani shepherds and Christian farmers is taking place.
