ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (BosNewsLife) -- Christians in Pakistan faced a new period of uncertainty Monday, July 18, amid news of increased violence against believers and the adoption of what human rights groups call "a move towards a Taliban-style government" in a key region.

"The Hasba Act [in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province]" adopted Friday, July 15, by the mainly Islamic local legislature will create "a department modeled on the repressive Department of Prevention of Vice and Promotion of Virtue in [neighboring] Afghanistan," said Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW).

Sabio, don't judge a whole religion on the actions of a few extremists. I doubt you'd want Christianity characterized as all Fred Phelps and abortion clinic bomers.

There are many peaceful Muslims who denounce violence.

I agree, it would be good if some Moslems showed that example and commented on these terrible events.
