A thousand Christians have fled their homes and are now sleeping rough after they were targeted by rampaging mobs.

Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) reports that the level of destruction in Jaranwala, near Faisalabad, has been "down to the last lightbulb".

Churches have not been spared in this week's wave of violence. According to ACN, the number of churches and chapels targeted has risen to 21, with one source in the country who cannot be named for security reasons saying that many of them were set on fire and "nothing is left".

The source told ACN that up to 1,000 Christians were forced to sleep in sugar cane fields after narrowly escaping rampaging mobs.

"They had been running away, trying to find somewhere where they could rest," they said.

Pakistan is like a stove with one setting: “BOIL!!”
Just like in France, there is always some wildly violent protest going on. Usually, it’s the Muslims having been ‘offended’ by something a Christian is rumored to have done.

2nd amendment ping. Buy weapons and ammo and never give them up. This is what democrats want to do to us but they cannot since so many of us are well armed.

If America were still part of Christendom, instead of having been taken over by satanic pedophiles and “diversity” worshippers, we would respond and do our part to help these poor Christians out.

Instead, i’m sure hillary and pedo joe and the deep state are perfectly happy about these attacks on Christians.

The USA was Pakistan’s ally for decades - through Democrat AND Republican administrations.

Reagan sent aid to Pakistan as did Carter etc.

So, the USA has not done anything to aid the Christians of Pakistan in the past, I doubt we would have done anything at the governmental level even if President Trump was still in power
