Pray for Pakistani Christians during Lent
The Islamic republic's Christians continue to face the double pandemic of prejudice and the coronavirus
Earlier this month, a hardline Islamist political party complained to police about the
Maloon (cursed) who tore down its posters on the walls of a college in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
“The station house officer assured strict action. Arrest the corrupt urgently. Beheading, the only punishment for blasphemer,” Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan said in a tweet referring to the posters that carried the name of the Prophet Muhammad as an inspiration for college students to join the group.
The incident is one of the latest in a series I have been tracking on social media on an almost daily basis. Most of them are filed against Shia Muslims on charges of insulting the Prophet Muhammad’s companions.
