On Sept. 19, Islamic extremists broke into the Philadelphia Pentecostal Church in Sharif Town, Karachi City, Pakistan, and set fire to Bibles, hymnals, a musical instrument and a table, according to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts.
The church, which is led by Pastors George Rakha and Peter Shahzad, was established six years ago and is actively involved in Muslim evangelism. “At 4 a.m., some fanatics broke the lock of the church door and entered the church,” VOM contacts reported. “They burned three crosses, nine Bibles, five books of worship songs, a table and a musical instrument Tabla [local drum].”
On Sept. 20, the Christian community displayed a banner protesting the burning of their Bibles. Christians believe this incident was a reaction to an American pastor’s widely publicized threat to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11. Christian leaders in the U.S. spoke out against the pastor’s plan to burn the Quran, and he ultimately decided against it. But it seems that no Muslim leaders spoke out against the actual burning of Bibles in Pakistan.
VOM encourages you to pray for believers in Pakistan who courageously live for Christ in the midst of opposition. Pray that believers’ testimonies and love for Christ will draw their Muslim neighbors into fellowship with Christ.

God Bless these believers who are willing to go into the belly of the beast to try and bring salvation to the lost.

So when does the American street erupt in violence and start burning mosques?
They’ve proliferated like California undergrowth.
One wacko pastor says he will burn an indoctrination book and hundreds of savage subhumans jump up and down shouting curses through their dirty beards and attack Christians and their institutions.
Disproportionate response anyone?
It sure is tempting isn't it?
I can't stand the hypocrisy and evil that is islam.
I have nothing but admiration and respect for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who confront the evil of islam knowing that their lives are at risk. These missionaries are superstars to me.
Me too!
I go in front sometime in front of the mosque house in town here to pray for souls. I never get someone to talk. It's enclosed( Fenced). Of course I have to be honest it's across the street from my friend's restaurant. But I believe the Lord is leading us to minister to these types.
The religion of peace steps up again. At least they were tolerant and did not stone you to death..
You are so right. They are lost in the darkness.They think they worship the same God as us but they don't. If we aren't bold in our faith we fail our Savior.
BTW, I don't think it's a coincidence that your friends restaurant is across the street.
