Pakistan

Pakistan provided one of persecution’s worst
headlines in 2011 with the assassination of Cabinet Minister Shahbaz
Bhatti, the highest ranking Christian ever to be killed in this lawless
country. A Roman Catholic, the forty-two-year old was the Minister for
Minority Affairs in the federal government and one of the highest
profile advocates for the removal of the notorious blasphemy law. As
the only Christian minister in the cabinet, he was unusually
influential. Four gunmen approached him in broad daylight in Islamabad
when he was returning in his car from a visit to his mother on March 2.
They sprayed his car with bullets and fled the scene, and have not been
heard of since. The investigation – like so many in Pakistan – has
been described as tepid” by human rights activists. A letter found at
the scene from the Pakistani Taliban said that he had been executed for
his attempts to amend the blasphemy law: We will not spare anybody
involved in acts of blasphemy,” it read.

Pakistan’s Christians are a beleaguered minority of about 2.5%
in a country of 176.7 million, which is 96% Muslim, and the killing of
Bhatti was one of the most demoralizing acts for us of recent years,”
according to a church leader in Karachi. Bhatti’s death came after the
slaying of the Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, a Muslim sympathetic to
the Christian plight. He set out to change the blasphemy law by
supporting Asia Noreen (also known as Asia Bibi), the first woman
sentenced to death on blasphemy charges. One of his bodyguards turned
his gun on the Governor, while five others of the security detail merely
watched. Thousands of militants turned out in the streets to support
the assassin and protest that he even be charged with murder. The
central government, with characteristic weakness, quickly stalled any
move to deal with the offending laws. Indeed, Bhatti’s cabinet post was
abolished, and the position downgraded to the state governmental level.

Four other Christians were also killed in the reporting period,
two of them gunned down outside their church in Hyderabad, Sindh
Province on March 22. Death threats are routine for church leaders;
beatings are common and damage to church property occurs on a monthly
basis.

Pakistan’s Christians are caught between Islamic militant
organizations that routinely target Christians for violence, and an
Islamizing culture that makes Christians feel less and less a part of
Pakistan. Add into the mix a weak and corrupt central government
unwilling to confront injustice, and a military that has been found
complicit in fuelling Islamic militants to gain leverage in Afghanistan
and Indian held Kashmir, and it is clear that Christians have few allies
in their fight to flourish in the land of their birth. These
persecution dynamics have been in place for many years however, and the
country is set to surpass Indonesia as containing the world’s largest
Muslim population by 2030 (256 million), according to a Pew Research
Report released in January 2011.

The news is not all bad however. The laws of Pakistan give
Christians considerable freedom to run their churches; the Christian
population is growing, and a steady but significant trickle of Muslims
join churches. In the future, the rising superpower of China may force
the military to stamp out internal Muslim militants as it intends to
build a trade superhighway through the country down to Sindh province
where they are building a warm water port. The USA also retains
leverage over the state due to its US$2billion annual grant to the
military. But in the shorter term it is becoming harder to be a
Christian in Pakistan.

    UNIUS REI VS NIMROD BAAL IMF 666 — Micah 5:1-6 [a]Marshal your
    troops now, city of troops, for a siege is laid against us. They will
    strike Israel’s ruler, on the cheek with a rod. 2. “But you, Bethlehem
    Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans[b] of Judah, out of you
    will come for me, one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are
    from of old, from ancient times.” 3. Therefore Israel will be abandoned
    until the time when she who is in labor bears a son, and the rest of
    his brothers return, to join the Israelites.

    God the Creator of the heavens and the earth and man said in the
    Holy Quran. (83) Say (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah (God) and That
    Which is revealed unto us and revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael That
    Which Was and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and That Which Was
    vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and Their prophets from the Lord. We
    make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have
    surrendered. (84)Surah Al-E-Imran – ANSWER – IF YOU were doing the works
    of God and the prophets? you would never have killed innocent people
    (Christians), but Satan is your father, because you do the same works
    that murderer of Muhammad had done, in fact, you do not follow the
    teachings of Jesus, it is impossible for a Muslim to enter, in heaven if
    despise the Bible, or the Gospel, but many Muslims Satanists, they burn
    the Bible and the Gospel!

    max76689 said: God says in the Quran: (74) The Messiah, son of
    Mary, was no other than a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) had
    passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly woman. Both And
    they used to eat (earthly) food. See how We make the revelations clear
    for them, and see how they are turned away! (75) Surah Al-Maeda: in =
    jesus bible say = This is eternal life: that they may know You the only
    true God and Jesus Christ Whom you have sent, but, Christians worship
    messenger. – ANSWER – you will not be condemned for being a Muslim,
    because Muslims good people? go to Heaven, you will be condemned,
    because, not having, received a divine revelation, you personally, as
    many Muslims, who have become Christians, you judge the infinite things
    of God, to do harm to innocent people on matters of conscience

    if you understand Christianity? then, also, you will be killed
    by the Muslims, because, in their eyes, you will always be, a
    blasphemer and idolater! but this is the truth, God has given free will,
    while satanaAllah, has captured:: taken it!

    se tu capisci il cristianesimo? poi, anche, tu sarai ucciso dai
    musulmani, perché, ai loro occhi, tu sarai sempre, un blasfemo ed
    idolatra! ma, questa è la verità, Dio ha dato il libero arbitrio,
    mentre, satanaAllah lo ha tolto!

  • World Watch List 2012

    The church around the world is facing times which are
    unprecedented in many ways. For the tenth year in succession, the Open
    Doors World Watch List is topped by North Korea, and in places as
    diverse as Libya, North Korea, Pakistan and Burma, significant events
    are shaping society. But despite the many hardships, the body of Christ
    continues to grow.

    “The Handbook of Prayer is unique. It combines authoritative
    data on the challenges facing Christians in our world today, with
    specific, authentic prayer requests to help you pray intelligently.
    This virtual road map will help you to pray your way around the world
    of the persecuted church. I will be using it; I pray that you will
    also.”

    Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran is
    home to 75 million people, with 98 percent of the population adhering to
    Islam. At least 450,000 followers of Christ live in Iran. And while
    Christianity is an officially-recognized religion in Iran, in practice,
    many Christians face oppression from their neighbors. Christian
    believers in Iran continue to place their hope and trust in God. They
    ask for our prayers as they bravely share Christ with their families and
    neighbors. God is moving and the church is growing. Please continue to
    pray for God’s grace and endurance for the followers of Jesus in Iran.

How the World Watch List is constructed?

The unique list, begun by the Open Doors Research Department in 1991,
seeks to understand the unique persecution fingerprint of each
country. This is to ensure effective intervention since Open Doors
ministers to the persecuted church in over fifty countries
worldwide. The data is derived from a questionnaire containing
fifty-three questions sent to Open Doors co-workers, key church leaders,
and recognized experts in seventy countries. The questionnaire examines
every aspect of persecution, including the degree of legal restriction,
state attitudes, how free the church is to organize itself, as well as
noting incidents of persecution such as church burnings, anti-Christian
riots, and even martyrdoms. Open Doors is uniquely situated to provide
this research as it is the world’s largest missions agency working on
behalf of the persecuted, and of the top fifty countries Open Doors
preserves an active program in forty six of them.

Why is North Korea number one?
