Someone should come forward and speak for our Christian brothers in Pakistan. For me the Christian or Hindu, if he belongs to Pakistan is my brother. Nationalism is pure and has no corrupting influences like religion or ethnicity in it.

I can only apologize to the Christians for the crimes other Sunnis have committed against them. They should have full freedom to practice their faith. They must be protected at all costs. We must sympathize with minority groups and take action against the terrorists.

Minor incident.

Minor incident.

Being nonchallant about matters we believe are trivial does nothing to aid the afflicted groups nor makes the Pakistani union stronger. There is a feeling of despondancy amongst the Pakistan Christian Congress and this feeling needs to be eliminated. By ignoring a problem it can only fester. Let us remove the cancer in our body. We do so we bring down the Taliban, the LEJ and the SSP.

Still it is a minor incident.

And Pakistanis have a habit of getting sensitive on lame issues like this one.

I agreed, its minor for any Pakistani but it is still incident. Incident is incident, it dose not mean it is minor or higher.

Minor or Major incidents like these must be condemned & investigated...

Agreed. Johnson. It is condemnable. But it doesn't mean that whole society is after minorities as some Pakistani members in their foolishness portray. That's what I meant.
