Pakistan: Christians, girls and women are 'not worth anything'

"We Christians are truly dehumanized, we are treated as objects and as goods to sell. We live in a system where only the powerful have rights. For us Christians, justice in courts is not guaranteed: it is a serious concern in the rule of law, and this is a major cause of suffering and persecution of Christians in Pakistan"

It's easy to take our blessings for granted. Christians in places like Pakistan have their faith tested by fire.

Tested by fire? Honestly it is not that difficult for them to move to a place where they are more respected. This is the 21st century, not the 5th!! They only have to take the first step.

Well if I wanted to move to Ukraine, I obviously couldnt do it in one week. But give me enough time and I could. Like I said, they only have to have the WILL to MOVE someplace else. They do not.

Some do — I’ve seen Pakistanis in the US before. As Christians, however, they are forgotten people and most sane countries think “Moose trouble” when they think Pakistani.

I don't think you understand the dynamic here. Many of these persecuted Pakistanis are recent CONVERTS to Christ.

Why should they move? Pakistan is their home and Christ is their savior.

Do they understand the risks inherent to their conversion? Of course they do. They're Christians. Not cowards. But Pakistan is their home.

Someone needs to repossess those scissors before someone gets poked in the eye!

Even if they could move, which they might not be able to because the government might not be willing to give them a passport, Christians in this part of the world are absolutely impoverished, so they might not be able to get the funds together to do that.

Agreed- This post reflects the mindset of American politicians like that guy who said Ms.Bachmann was afraid of real women.Just because she is not a slave to the Islamic male.
Islam is such a huge phalic symbol And so not a religion that worships a God of Love Love is Not submission forced submission - Nor is it (true Religion) increased by threat of violence and death. Male dominance—Islamic male superiority—and violence and death is the sum of ISLAM.

They place so little value on their own women, why would they assign any to others?
