Pakistan Church Burnings: Paul Bhatti Reacts
Paul Bhatti, the brother of murdered Christian politician Shahbaz Bhatti, has decried anti-Christian attacks in Pakistan which have wreaked havoc, without proof of any misdoing.
In the interview with Vatican News’ Christopher Wells, Mr. Bhatti examined the latest series of attacks against Christians in the country, insisting that it is unacceptable that people take the law into their hands, without consulting justice, and attack innocent Christians.
Several Christian churches were vandalized and scores of houses set on fire on Wednesday by a mob of Muslims who attacked a Christian community in eastern Pakistan, after accusing two of its members of desecrating the Quran, police and community leaders said.
The attack took place in Jaranwala in the industrial district of Faisalabad.
