Christians in Pakistan are using social media to promote peace during Ramadan as violent Islamist protests choke traffic around the country.
“Ramzan Mubarak (congratulations) to all Muslims. Please demonstrate tolerance this Ramadan. God bless to all,” stated Shireen Aslam, a member of the Attock district human rights committee in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in a Facebook post.
Several pastors and church workers have also updated their WhatsApp status with greetings for Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting and prayers.
