Shahbaz Bhatti
What an awful shame for our beloved country. We cannot allow it to be hijacked by some ill advised bigots. Everyone is a child of God and if we believe in that, how can we not look at each other as brothers and sisters. Don't families have differences within themselves. You don't go killing someone in your family just because they don't see things the same way as you do.

Father... be near to his family as they suffer and grieve.

Brutality wins for now
Religion has been used since time immemorial by fanatics and men without human feelings to commit the most heinous of crimes. And Pakistan has over the years provided fertile ground for such criminals to sow the seeds of unpardonable crimes. Why can't we have the right to say, "your God is not My God!"
Shahbaz Bhatti
Shahbaz Bhatti will live forever. They kill ever moderate thinker, Bainazer Bhutto, Sulman Taseer,
Shahbaz Bhatti
Shahbaz Bhatti was not just a Christian leader he was trying to reform the Laws and the society which is hostage in the hands of religious extremist. Government if that is present in Pakistan need Genocide of Moderate Pakistanies to legitimate a real crackdown on extremist and their nurseries.
Pray for Pakistan
You should not pray for a "modern" Pakistan. Moderism is not really a good thing. Pray for a Pakistan where God's love can be felt and shared and where mercy is shown to all who suffer.
