Persecution of Christians in Pakistan
History of the hostility towards Christians in Pakistan / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Persecution of Christians in Pakistan has been recorded since the country's independence in 1947. The persecution has taken many forms, including violence, discrimination, and blasphemy laws.
The persecution of Christians in Pakistan is a result of a number of factors, including religious extremism, sectarian violence, and the country's blasphemy laws. Religious extremism is on the rise in Pakistan, and Christian churches and schools have been targeted in attacks. The country's blasphemy laws, which are used to persecute religious minorities, have also been used to target Christians.
The Pakistani government has been criticized for its failure to protect Christians from persecution and has been accused of turning a blind eye to the persecution of Christians, and of even supporting it, including failing to prosecute those who persecute Christians.
