Bear the cross of Jesus, not only did Simon of Cyrene on the way to Golgotha. In the centuries that followed, followers of Him the cross voluntarily entered. Today, many do not. In Pakistan, for example. It was not the first crime against Pakistani Christian girls for Muslims to help in domestic service. Died on January 25 as the 12-year-old Shazia Masih (Masih means of Christ) as a result of severe abuse. The girl worked as a maid in the household by Naeem Chaudry, a court in the city of Lahore and former president of the Lahore Bar Association, an influential professional group of lawyers.Shazia's body showed numerous injuries, and therefore Naeem accuses her family of torture, rape and murder. Naeem claims that mentally disabled girl was suffering with a skin disease in a hospital and that she died from blood poisoning. Both the case around Shazia as Kiran is stuck, because justice is denied a fair investigation and prosecute the perpetrators.In the case of Shazia, the mighty Lahore Bar Association of any legal assistance the family of the girl blocked. The two cases in the Netherlands would not even know if they are not able world were made by Watson Gill, a Pakistani Christian living in Almere. Gill is a member of the Urdu Church Netherlands, with about 300 mostly Pakistani Christians are connected. With unremitting zeal Gill leaves the Dutch press know that injustice is done to his brothers and sisters in his homeland. Any rape or murder around Christians, who reported from Pakistan, he reaches to here in the Netherlands to organize demonstrations, petitions to hand over the media and to inform. This is desperately needed is Gill. He says in the fourteen years that he was Pakistani Christians as victims in criminal cases follow, "never" someone condemned to be seen. Nadeem Din, a Pakistani Christian from Rotterdam, with whom Gill works, says the extremely harsh to have found that when the case around the 12-year-old Christian girl was at issue, Pakistan almost on his head was because in the U.S. Pakistani woman who was suspected of involvement in terrorism. "From all sides, she was offered assistance, while the gruesome murder Shazia was hushed." It typifies the position that Christians in Pakistan. Like other minorities such as Hindus and Muslims, Shi'ite, Christians are heavily discriminated against. According to the Government's two per cent of the population is Christian, Gill keeps on between 5 and 6 percent (10 million in a population of almost 165 million). Nearly 80 percent of citizens in Pakistan (almost 24 times the Netherlands) are Muslim (Sunni). "I know someone in Lahore at the same boss who worked for years until it learned he was a Christian. Then he fired on the spot. "Self-Din lived until his eleventh year in Pakistan, and he remembers how he as a young boy the shock of his life as a shoemaker got his neck chain with cross and promptly discovered his shoes wegsmeet. In restaurants in villages and small towns Christians get special plates, cutlery and glasses put on. Din was nine when he one day with his parents from the church visited a restaurant. "When the owner in our Sunday clothes, he cried out: Are you guys Christians? Get out, I leave my company does not infect you. " The events surrounding the murder of two girls show us how Christians in the law are disadvantaged compared to Muslims."Formally know Pakistan is not Sharia law, but the majority of the population that were in his head and heart," says Gill, "and who also believes that Christians are inferior may be treated." "And if they do not find, then pepperMullahs in the mosques that they do so '. Click here! A Christian has no chance of a court, given the numerical proportion to the witnesses that Muslims possess. Thus requires the testimony of one Muslim contradiction of four Christian women, and that a Muslim woman two Christian men. The latter ratio also applies to men themselves. Notorious is the law against blasphemy against Christians by Muslims who regularly used, even if there was no blasphemy."When I got my neighbor a conflict, I know in advance that I'm going to lose. As a Muslim he can go to the police and me of insulting the Koran or the Prophet Muhammad blame. "Christians are for that reason keep quiet.And so they live mostly in their own neighborhoods, just because they feel safe. Discrimination because of their belief is reinforced by the low social position of most Christians. That has not always been, you know Gill. "About fourteen years back were a lot of Christians to the elite - as an official or scientist. Now most are poor and illiterate.This makes them especially vulnerable. "It is no coincidence that the two girls were housekeeper. Many Christian families are indeed heavily in debt to rich Muslims. By way of collateral to borrow their children to the rich to come and work from home. Din and Gill are trying their bit to contribute to this trend, a halt. "With this awareness of what is happening, hopefully Pakistan will alert against all injustice." Ref: Reformatorisch Dagblad
