Irfan Masih, the 11-year-old boy wounded on 22 April during a Taliban attack against Christians in Tiasar Town near Karachi, has died. In critical conditions from the start, the boy slipped away after five, agonisingly long days.

Fr Emmanuel Yousaf Mani, the director of the National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP), led a delegation to the site of the attack. The group, made up of clergymen and lay people, visited the wounded in hospital and then met leaders of the Muttahida Quami Movement(MQM), the only Pakistani party that is opposed to the introduction of Sharia in the Swat Valley.

On 22 April a gang of armed extremists attacked a group of Christians in Tiasar Town, a Karachi suburb, setting six homes on fire and seriously injuring three Christians. One of them was Irfan Masih, whose conditions were serious from the beginning.

Of course Christians get thrown under the bus in Pakistan, and to some extent nearly everywhere in the world.

“Of course Christians get thrown under the bus in Pakistan, and to some extent nearly everywhere in the world”

If they live alongside Muslims it’s a guarantee

We’re about to give Pakistan a billion dollars in aid.

Before we do that, we ought to demand justice for the kid(meaning, his killers get arrested and tried).

“We’re about to give Pakistan a billion dollars in aid.

“Before we do that, we ought to demand justice for the kid(meaning, his killers get arrested and tried).”

Add to that: we should require that Pakistan accept the universal human right to freedom of religion and freedom from religious persecution.

Obuma and Homeland Security would call the Christians terrorists. Maybe he can fly Air Fart One over Pakistan?

Imagine what the reaction would be if a Christian or Israeli killed a muslim boy by an attack on a muslim compound.

Oh! Right! There’s no end to with when a Palestinian child gets killed when Israel is simply defending itself.

Dream on, the kid is only some unknown Christian. The perpetrators may even be given immigration papers to the US.
