About this sermon
Police in Pakistan have arrested 129 Muslims following attacks this week on Christian churches and homes. The attacks came following a report that one of the Christian men had desecrated a copy of the Quran. Soldiers were called in to stop the riot in the Christian colony. Residents were moved to a safer place. Outreach Director of Aid to the Church in Need, Ed Clancy, joins to let us know how all of this transpired and what the situation is like in Pakistan now. Clancy explains how serious a blasphemy conviction in Pakistan is and what the potential penalties are. He tells us how worried the Church is about further retribution from these mobs, as reports say the crowds were in the thousands. One of the striking points from reports is that the rioters burned the Bible and obviously these churches in the process. Clancy discusses whether blasphemy laws apply to anti-Christian actions as well. He fills us in on what the relationship is like between Christians and Muslims in Pakistan. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
