Do you think western aid should be withdrawn from Pakistan until they do something about the abuse of their blasphemy laws used to persecute Christians?

I think we should not give aid to any country until we have a surplus in our nations budget from which to offer it.

America will borrow money from China to give to Pakistan , because this will help Pakistan in stabilities , as the forces in Pakistan could make this nation worst than it is now if this nation had harder times . So with the brutalities of this culture , could be worst ..... Best to pray for Christians in this countries , and other countries where selfish religious hatred is ... And pray that Christians burning their religious books is this is not necessary for Jesus Christians , as martyrs Christians can be a dead end

If YES could be said in an even stronger way, I would say it.
I would agree that we must indeed pray for fellow christians there but wouldn't it also help a little bit to not pay Pakistan to inprison, torture or kill them? Which is what we are doing.

We have no money and are in debt up to our ears. Even of Pakistan was the best of the best Christian nations - we have no money and should not be giving them anything.

It is very hard for some Christians to claim we are a Christian nation, then want to tell our Government to ignore the suffering elsewhere on this planet by offering assistance only "if you do this, do that." When you help out in a homeless shelter, donate to a charity or the panhandler do you attach conditions to it?

Why not pray that God shows YOU a personal way you can help instead of thinking our government has to do our "Christian duty" for us.

That of course is just my opinion

I do pray for the Christians in all parts of the world who suffer daily for their faith. I pray they find strength in Jesus. It's a source of great sadness that in this day and age there are still countries where freedom to worship God in the manner of personal choosing is not freely available to all.
