CWN - The Fides news service has called attention to “a long trail of Christian children killed for different reasons” in Pakistan, as well as many incidents of young Christians kidnapped, raped, and enslaved.
The common denominator in these horrible cases, Fides notes, is an attitude among Pakistan’s Muslims: “Christian children are considered ‘goods’ and deprived of their dignity.”
Roughly 700 Christian girls a year are kidnapped and coerced to convert to Islam, usually so that they can be married to Muslim men. Some young Christians have evidently been used as unwilling organ donors. Others are punished out of contempt for their Christian faith. Authorities in Pakistan have been notoriously slow to respond to threats to the Christian minority.
