Pakistan is for every Pakistani. That was Muhammad Ali Jinnahs vision.

There is a beautiful church in Rawalpindi. I remember a British Sikh youth who made the journey to Pakistan to visit his faiths holy shrines. He had many misconceptions about Pakistan due to the mogul era and a few mishaps with British Pakistanis. His opinions instantly changed when he visited Pak Punjab. Everybody he met was polite and respectful, he faced no hostilities. Unfortunatly when he came back to the UK a few months later he was murdered. There were personally issues going on which tragically ended his life.Christianity in Karachi
Karachi has a large community of Christians and there are a large number of thriving old and modern churches in the city. Also, there are a large number of educational institutions managed by Christian institutions that impart quality education to people. The Christian community in Karachi also manages a number of reputable healthcare institutions as well.
Christians are regarded in Islam as the "People of the Book" and Muslims are urged to have a friendly attitude towards them. The Koran says:
"Say ( O Muslims), "We believe in God and that which has been sent down to us and that which has been sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and to the offspring of the twelve sons of Jacob; and that which has been given to Moses, and Jesus, and that which has been given to the Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we have submitted"
(The Heifer 02: 136)
Although there have been incidents where illiterate people have fallen victim to hateful teachings imparted by radical and un-learned mullahs, which have led to conflicts with the Christian community, on the whole, generally people have friendly relations with them.
Some churches in Karachi:
The St. Patrick's Cathedral:
The St. Joseph's Convent School Chapel
The Trinity Church
and
the St. Andrew's Church in Saddar
A new church in Clifton

Thank you @Samurai_assassin may be PDF has to used to spread these kind of messages too...Pakistan is a Muslim dominated country wearing a religious head covering is entirely upto the individual depending on their social and educational background meaning if they are from a rural part of the country or educated city dwellers. Pakistani women from the provinces of Azad Kashmir, Punjab & Sindh traditionaly wear a thin light scarf known as as 'dupata'. The same can be seen in many parts of India and Bangladesh. The two western provinces of Pakistan which border Afghanistan an Iran Khyber Pakhtunkwa & Balochestan the women are usually covered fully wearing a traditional burka (can't be said about every single female in these provinces but the majority). This is because of the nature and cultural tradition of the native people and tribes of the provinces. Relating to the women of religious minorities, they wear the same cloths as the same local people and it is difficult to differentiate what faith they belong to. The female Christians of Lahore dress the same as the Muslim ladies of Lahore, bright colourful traditional shalwar kameez with a dupata. There are many misconceptions about Pakistan over the years which many people have chosen to completely ignore the country.
You can even hang out in Bikini in big Cities but if you go to ruler area in shorts Tharkis will do your X-RaysOne more doubt - Is it mandatory for non - Islam women to wear Hijab in Pakistan ?
It's not mandatory for any women to wear Hijab...Great to know that Pakistanis are giving religious freedom to the minorities, no media would project this kind of news.
