Why does British aid flow so readily to nations which persecute Christians?
Georgia L Gilholy, Conservative Home:
Last month the Christian community that has inhabited Pakistan’s Jaranwala district for centuries faced an allegedly orchestrated attempt to wipe out their presence.
The assault was led by a mob of Islamist extremists, accusing Christians of blasphemy against Pakistan’s majority faith, descended upon this region near Faisalabad in the Punjab Province, prompting the hasty exodus of thousands of Christian civilians.
Disturbing footage showed pews being tossed out of church windows, beds ablaze in the streets, and vehicles set on fire. The assailants displayed an alarming knowledge of the religious demographics of the area, systematically targeting Christian homes in both urban and rural settings.
