Yesterday’s attack on Bethel Memorial Methodist Church cost the lives of nine people attending the liturgical service. The Islamic State claims the attack. Christian and Muslim activists condemn violence and religious extremism.

The festival was held at Sts Peter and Paul's Cathedral on 24-26 November. It included paintings, information stands and exhibits. Children played a major role in the initiative. Dialogue with other religions and cultures is necessary to "explore every possibility" to “forge new paths". Peace is a gif God entrusted to human beings.

Called AAWAZ (Voice and Responsibility) programme, the event drew more than a hundred young people from 30 districts. Participants used games and exchanges to improve socialisation.

The two were accused of blasphemy. The government has a duty to protect its citizens, as enshrined in the Constitution. Their orphaned children are supported with love and care by the Cecil & Iris Chaudhry Foundation.

The incident occurred in the city of Sheikhupura. The 12-year-old girl is in sixth grade. Her mother wanted to file a complaint but the police refused to register it.

Aster Tariq taught for 18 years at the Kinnaird Girls High School in Lahore. Over the years she earned the respect of her Muslim colleagues. In the 1970s, then Prime Minister Bhutto nationalised all schools and imposed the mandatory teaching of Islam.

The Rwadari Tehreek Movement calls for immediate action against Muhammad Safdar. His speech “was an incitement of violence towards minorities, and was against the vision of the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah."

He was killed during school lessons. He refused to convert to Islam. He had argued with his classmates who were witness to and promoters of the murder. Activists condemn violence and impunity at the expense of religious minorities: anyone who is free to act as an accuser, judge, and executioner. Justice and Peace: This trend is not new, but growing, uncontrolled and unpunished.

Afzal Masih, father of three children, has been missing since 19 September. His home borders to that of Fazi Ullah, a Muslim businessman, who accuses him of theft. Masih family: "The purpose of the Muslim is to occupy our home, as he has already done with two other homes belonging to Christians."

The event was sponsored by the Holy Rosary Parish. Staging “such shows of peace” will make children “ambassadors of peace,” said Fr Shahzad. A “candle of peace” was lighted. Three groups call on the government to improve the situation of minorities who are often victims of kidnapping, conversions, and forced marriage.

Sheron Masih was 17 years old and had just begun attending public school. Classmates beat him to death with sticks because he tried to drink water. His murder, "just the tip of the iceberg; below, a great mountain of hatred and discrimination against minorities. "

Kashif Masih has received very little compensation from his employer. Most street cleaners in the province are Christians. They have no insurance or medical coverage, and suffer from discrimination.
