A Pakistani Christian mourns the loss of his family after a Muslim mob murdered his wife and four children, according to Compass Direct News. Jamshed Masih, a police officer, moved his family to Mustafa Colony after he was transferred from Gujrat to Jhelum, Punjab Province.



When the predominantly-Muslim community learned of the family's faith, Maulana Mahfooz Khan, a Muslim religious leader, approached Masih and told him and his family to leave, saying the community did not want "scum" in it. He said no non-Muslims had ever been able to live there and the residents feared the family would be a bad influence on their children.
Concerned, Masih shared these threats with the pastor of a local Presbyterian church, Saleem Mall. Mall also warned them of the danger and advised them to leave.
Quote:
On June 21, Compass said Masih left for work, leaving his children singing hymns at home. Later that day, Masih's wife sent one of their sons to the store for detergent. But when the shopkeeper asked if the boy was a Christian and he said "yes," the shopkeeper refused to sell him anything and told him to never come back.
The boy returned home, relaying the events to his mother who called Masih, begging him to come home.
A short time later, a Muslim mob, led by Khan, arrived at the house, accusing him of blasphemy against Muhammad.
Before police or Masih arrived, the family was murdered.

Just some of many killed around the world.

Oftentimes the reason being their religion.

Nothing to look at here folks, move along. Christians are murdered by Muslims with boring predictability and it is not PC to point out such events. Religion of Peace don't ya know......

I would have thought that you guys would have made a run for information on the Iraqi-Christians that ran to Syria.

Just goes to show you some people don't give a damn about religious persecution unless it suits them.

There are no excuses. This is a sad story and if it is an example of anything, it's an example of how most religious people don't follow the very core teachings of their faith. Compassion for humanity is hard to find anywhere.
