Pakistan's Christians targeted in attacks, marginalized in society
(The Christian Science Monitor) The suicide bombing on Easter Sunday at a park in Lahore, Pakistan, along with comments attributed to the militant Muslim group that claimed to have carried it out, underscored the precarious position of Pakistan’s Christians.
Ehsanullah Ehsan, spokesman for Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway Taliban faction in Pakistan, said the attack specifically targeted Christians.
“It’s our message to the government that we will carry out such attacks again until Shari’a law is imposed in the country,” he told the Washington Post.
