The Vicious Persecution of Pakistani Christians

LAHORE, Pakistan - The country of Pakistan is one of America's top allies in the war on terror. But some militants in the Muslim-dominated nation are not demonstrating much friendship or tolerance for Christians. Many believers suffer discrimination and persecution, and most are deprived of basic human rights.

Radical Pakistani Muslims shout 'Death to America!', but many sympathetic to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden target their Christian countrymen for attack. That is because they view Christians as pro-Western and anti-Islam.

Many Pakistani churches now resemble armed fortresses, because of bombings, attacks and threats against them.
