Zaheeruddin, it will be a lie and an act of deception on my part to pretend that I or most of the better informed citizens in Pakistan are not aware of such unfortunate violations of basic human right against our own fellow citizens. It is also an unfortunate truth that we the majority has lost courage and basic human decency to protest and to condmn and stop by any means such gross violations of citizens' rights on the basis of their 'belief and faith'; and we have the gal to so unashamedly criticise the rest of the world for their bias. This is extreme bigotry and I am part of it and at the same time ashame of my cowardice. This might console you a little that with this speed and our this indifference we will soon be in your situation; only difference will be your sufferings are not of your choice whereas ours will be due to our contributory negligence (as they say!). I the meantime, please, count me as a friend who mourns with you these sad and unfortunate incidents in our country. Arun R.

That's his story. Believe it or not, there are instances of abuse to Christians that go unnoticed in the country especially in the NWFP and yet when it is reported, the media is said to be having a good day out of it all. In fact, 80% such cases do not get printed in black-and-white and nor reported on the television. I learned this the hard way.
