The persecution of Christians in Pakistan is becoming very brutal and very deadly. The truth is that it is no longer safe to be a Christian in Pakistan anymore. A Christian man in Pakistan's Punjab province is literally fighting for his life after radical Muslim leaders, backed by police, burned him alive for refusing to convert to Islam while his wife was raped by police officers. This incident, which took place on March 19th, is just the latest in a series of deadly attacks on Christians in Pakistan.
The name of the man is Arshed Masih, and according to reports Islamic radicals tried to burn him alive right in front of a police station in the city of Rawalpindi.
So did the police do anything to protect the Christian man?
No, the police were too busy raping his wife.
Now 80 percent of his body is burned and he is struggling to stay alive.
One of the saddest things is that their 3 children (ranging in age from 7 to 12) were reportedly forced to watch the attacks on their parents.
So how did this all come about?
Well, it is alleged that in January Islamic leaders in the area asked Arshed to convert to Islam with his whole family.
After Arshed refused their request, the group of Islamic leaders reportedly threatened him with "dire consequences".
Apparently they were quite serious.
But this is just the latest in a serious of vicious attacks on Christians in Pakistan recently.
For example, a World Vision office in Pakistan was attacked by Islamic gunmen recently, leaving at least five staff members dead.
Another example made world headlines a while back. A Christian couple in Pakistan was sentenced to 25 years in prison for touching the Quran without properly washing their hands

more tolerance from the ROP, meanwhile in Europe and the US the muslims feel persecuted. Its time for another crusade.
Obviously I’m not there, so I don’t know the particular cases...but there is a point that you have to leave.
I realize that it’s quite possible that he couldn’t leave, but a lot of people that can leave stay on, hoping that things will get better. It’s sad and tough to see your homeland wiped out, as you knew it.
Hopefully that won’t happen here, but only the Republicans have any chance of stopping it...
Can't handle the competition.
“I can somewhat understand why Islamists hate pigs and dogs...
Can’t handle the competition.”
I’ve never heard of a pig or dog that behaved in this fashion. You owe both species an apology.
obummer should run over and bow to them some more

Hold on just a second! Didn’t this happen in Dearborn, MI, not Pakistan?????????????
I wonder how many of us would have the tenacity to not deny our Lord Jesus? What an incredibly brave, loving man. What a horrifying act of cowardice, once again by Islamics. And this president of the US wants us to bow to them? Hell NO!!!
God, when I think of all the Christians here that have no clue what is going on. Wake up Christians! Coming to a city near you.
