Terrorists Threaten o Bomb Churches In Pakistan
For those who still believe that these radical Islamo-Fascists hate and attack us because we are "over there," time to think again. From FoxNews:
Christians in a Pakistani town beset by pro-Taliban militants sought government protection Wednesday, the eve of a deadline for them to convert to Islam or face violence.About 500 Pakistani Christians in Charsadda, a town in the North West Frontier Province bordering Afghanistan, received letters earlier this month telling them to close their churches and convert by Thursday or be the target of "bomb explosions."
Several Christians, a tiny minority in the predominantly Muslim country, have fled town and others are living in fear, community leaders said.
We all know that not all Muslims are radicalized like the Taliban, al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Jamas, the Islamic Brotherhood, and so on.
According to the report, local police seem to think that these threats are only a joke (some joke!) and not to worry about. They have, however, dispatched a couple of officers to stand vigil over the targetted churches. We'll see if it does any good.
It also reports that the Taliban has been growing in strength in Northwestern Pakistan, bombing shops that sell western films, among other threats.
As for the churches in Charsadda, I guess we'll see what happens there over the next few days.
