The increasing fanaticism towards Christians in Pakistan still causes anxiety among believers. And for the time in which Christians and Muslims witnessed celebrating each other and participating in moments of prayer in the private time, respectively, from great fasting and Ramadan, in 2025, he agreed to provide beautiful opportunities for dialogue and meeting.
Rowing accusations
Among the unpleasant incidents that have been distinguished by recent weeks, those who accompany Christians to Easter, highlighting the last attack on the commander of Masé, the twentieth -Tio, who was raped by his boss at the factory where he was working in Sheikhbura, in Punjab County. In a pattern repeated in several other cases, Waqas was mistakenly accused of alleged blasphemy or desecration of the pages of the Qur’an. Then he refused to become Islam as a way to escape false accusations. The bitterness was stabbed again and repeatedly in the neck, and he suffered from serious injuries and was accepted to the Lahore Hospital in serious condition, while his attacker was arrested.
He raped for being a Christian
A terrible incident of rape and theft occurred on March 25 near the highway, which also crosses the Punjab, causing a stir. Three criminals attacked a Christian couple, Adnan Masé and Somila, who were traveling on a motorcycle to Faisal Abad. The two armed thieves who stole 800 rupees and a mobile phone were arrested. But as soon as the Christian identity was discovered by both the discoverer, the violence changed the tone and the method: men began to use an abusive language, full of contempt and cruelty, which led to the rape of the group, which was implemented in the eyes of her husband. Senator Khalil Taher Sinwo, a Catholic lawyer who visited the family (the couple has three children) in Faisal Abad, expressed their solidarity and support for both. The lawyer revealed that the relatives of one of the accused also threatened the victims so that they would not file a complaint, what was done “to ask for justice, because this type of hate crimes cannot take place without punishment,” he said, praising the forces, which was able to identify criminals and stop them quickly. Senator Sino stressed that “the reaffirmation of the government’s commitment to justice,” guarantees the constitution of Pakistan to protect all citizens without discrimination for the causes of culture, ethnicity or faith. “
Weak minorities
“These incidents show weakness and discrimination in the face of minority groups in Pakistan, especially Christians. Violence against religious minorities is still a matter of concern. Girls often force girls to marry and become wrong accusations are a difficult fact for many.” In this case, Father Aslam says that the Pakistanic Catholics look at the testimony of the servant of God Akash Bashir, the young Catholic, whom everyone considers the martyr because in 2015 he sacrificed his life to avoid a terrorist attack in his diocese. His Christian testimony was united from all sects, and with them, for Muslims as well.
