Pakistani Christian Severely Injured in Acid Attack


The First Week of September has witnessed the continuous attacks on Christian individuals throughout the country of Pakistan.  One of the most recent attacks was on a young Christian man by the name of Faraz Baddar.  Faraz worked as a manager of in a local hospital in the city of Gurjanwala.  As he was returning home from work a two men on a motorcycle rode up and doused him in acid.  It is suspected that the attack was carried out by two of his Muslim coworkers who resented the fact that they had to work under the supervision of a Christian.
Faraz's entire body was burned from this vicious attack.  He is now under care of the Mayo Hospital in Lahore.  He hopes to recover quickly and return to his normal life.  Unfortunately, his attackers remain at large.  Attacks like this against Christians are quite common in Pakistan, and all too often, the local authorities decide to simply look the other way.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...
