Killed for Being Christian in Pakistan

Here's a clip from an interview with Shahbaz Bhatti, the only Christian cabinet minister in Pakistan, who was just murdered by fanatics for being a Christian. He opposed the tyrannical blasphemy law in that country; he was well aware of the danger that was closing in on him, as the interview shows, and yet he stood firm. May he rest in peace.


"I want to share that I believe in Jesus Christ who has given His own life for us. I know what is the meaning of the cross."


It's something. A few posts down, I took note of how, in England, arrogant judges are determining that Christianity really has no part to play in contemporary British society, in effect, declaring it irrelevant, antiquated, null and void. And then there's this report coming out of Pakistan where outspoken Christians are being targeted one by one for elimination. These are trying times, indeed. Where is Christianity safe anymore?
