As mainstream American media usually doesn't share the news of what happens in the Middle East unless it has an impact on the USA, and almost never talks about the situation of those suffering from religious persecution or clashes due to that sort of prejudice, I use other sources. It's amazing just how much persecution of Christians goes on abroad, seriously putting into perspective the coldness and scorn that is usually as far as it can go in America.
LAHORE, Pakistan, September 21 (CDN) — A Christian mother of five was allegedly raped by two Muslim men last week, and area Islamists are threatening to harm her family if charges against the suspects are not dropped, the woman and her husband told Compass... Muslim criminals in Pakistan, where the population is more than 95 percent Muslim according to Operation World, tend to assume they will not be prosecuted if their victims are Christians. The accuser said Muslim men in the area have been harassing Christian women for some time.
[The woman] said that as they reached the police station, Muslims warned the family against pointing out [one of the rapists].
“They told us that they will kill my children and husband if I identify [him],” she said. “They said that we should not forget that we are chooras [sweepers, a derogatory word for Christians] and can bring no harm to them. They also warned that our daughters would face a similar fate if we did not listen to them.”
