I’m sure you heard about the Taliban’s attack on a peaceful gathering of folks celebrating Easter in Lahore, Pakistan yesterday. Fox News<\/a> says that there were more than 70 killed and hundreds injured. Most of the casualties were women and children;<\/p>\n

Ahsanullah Ahsan, a spokesman for the breakaway Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which has sworn allegiance to ISIS, told The Associated Press late Sunday that the suicide bomber deliberately targeted Christians celebrating Easter in the park. The mostly-Muslim country has a small Christian community, accounting for less than two percent of Pakistan’s total population.<\/p>\n

The same militant group also took responsibility for the twin bombings of a Christian church in Lahore last year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The article continues that only 14 of the murdered people were Christians – most were Muslims. But that doesn’t seem to matter to the Islamist thugs. From Yemen, we get reports that ISIS crucified a Christian priest, Father Tom Uzhunnalil, according to the UK’s Daily Mail<\/a>. He was captured from an old folks’ home where he ministered. 16 folks were murdered in the raid, including four nuns. <\/p>\n

While the case can be made that there is no war against Islam in the middle east, no new Crusade, there is evidence that Christians are being targeted by the Islamists. Christians have been targeted in Syria and Iraq, The Sudan and Pakistan, Tunisia and Libya. Yet, the Catholic Pope<\/a>, in his Easter message to the masses, urges us to accept more of the refugees from the region – some of whom intend to cause mayhem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
