If you are Christian, Hindu or Ahmadi, it seems that you have no protection in Pakistan
NESCONSET, NEW YORK, USA: Once again, Pakistan has failed its minority community. If you are Christian, Hindu or Ahmadi, it seems that you have no protection in Pakistan. The leaders pay mere lip service and condemn attacks, but no concrete measures are taken to protect the religious minorities of Pakistan.
As a result of the lack of good governance in Pakistan and the infiltration of extremism, Pakistan has gone from the tolerant nation our Quaid dreamt of to the nightmare it is today. How many more attacks on churches, temples and mosques will it take for us to understand that we must repeal laws which result in persecution of religious minorities and embolden their attackers, and create new laws which protect them?
