Muslim children throughout Pakistan are being indoctrinated with hatred for Christians, a senior Church leader has warned.

A rare insight into how the anti-Christian persecutors of tomorrow are being created in Pakistan was provided this week by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Lahore, Archbishop Sebastian Shaw.

“A huge problem we face in Pakistan – one that is deeply divisive across many sections of society – is hate material in school text books,” he said.

“For example, in class one, five-year-olds are given a lesson in which they are told: ‘Who am I? I am a Muslim and the other people are infidels.’

“In sociology books used in class seven, 12-year-olds are told to ‘respect the Prophet (PBUH). Do not trust the Jews or the Christians’.”

These materials have caused “hatred and division” in society and many minority groups feel unwanted, he said, adding that things got worse after 9/11 when Christians were accused of being associated with and allied to the US or the West.

The Archbishop also criticised the notorious evidence and blasphemy laws of Pakistan.

Under the evidence laws, the evidence of a Christian man is worth half that of a Muslim man and the evidence of a Christian woman is worth just a quarter.
