Mr. Watson is no more with Pakistan Christian Congress PCC and Mr. Parvez Iqbal heads PCC-Holland Chapter to promote Christian issues in Pakistan. PCP Pakistan Christian Post, is presenting contents of interview of Mr. Watson Gill and others for our readers in Pakistan: Here is interview detail in Trouw: Until the seventies, the relationship between Christians and Muslims in Pakistan reasonable. Especially the last two years, relations soured, and absurd judgments. Dutch-Pakistani Christians following the alarm. For their fellow believers but also for the Ahmadi Muslims. Pakistan is a key ally in the fight against the Taliban. But the verdict of the Pakistani court Ajmal Hussein was in the spirit of the Afghan godsdienstdwepers, also a branch in Pakistan. The Honorable convicted in April of this year, a Christian couple to fourth-century prison. The offense: a clean in the house of their employer had a Koran touched without first washing their hands. That was a violation of section 295-B of the Pakistan Penal Code. There have been extenuating circumstances, because the judge had Munir Masih and Ruqqiya Bibi also impose life. The offense took place in December 2008. In January this year the couple on bail, after which the court subsequently applied section 295-b. In recent months there are more Christians sentenced to this article. They got it for life. There is also a section 295-c, which proposes the death penalty on insulting the prophet. A more accommodating treatment was the top lawyer Naeem Chaudhry, former head of the Bar of the City of Lahore. He died on bail in February, and is still at large. He had no holy book, but the charges were desecrated Christian maid tortured to death. She was twelve. According to reports, he first tried unsuccessfully to poverty-stricken parents of the child to pay hush money. The media devoted extensive attention to the case, senior politicians sent messages of sympathy. Subsequently, fellow lawyers fiercely for their counterparts in the closely placed. According to that last girl was a blatant thing, ate garbage and showed other abnormal behavior. A fall down the stairs would have been the cause of death. Christian Pakistanis in the Netherlands followed with great concern the developments in their homeland. John William Watson Gill and Nadeem Din want greater publicity given to the issues of Pakistani Christians. They are members of the Urdugemeente, which in turn is part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN). A minister serves two churches in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. He makes numerous overtime because Urdugemeente also has branches in Belgium and Paris. "We are reformed," said John William. He is secretary of the Urdugemeente. "We have joined the PKN but we're more independent. We have our own liturgy and our own language. "That language is Urdu, the main language of Muslims in Pakistan and India. Nadeem Din is Deacon, Gill Watson is engaged in documenting human rights abuses of Christians in Pakistan, according to the three little attention in Western media. According to them, they increased over the past two years, since the resignation of dictator Pervez Musharraf and the introduction of democracy, including attacks on Christian villages Moreover, they see the problems of Pakistani Christians as a symptom of a broader phenomenon: growing intolerance against all religious minorities in Pakistan, not just Christians. Enormously frightened them from the attacks on two mosques of the Ahmadi Muslims, in the city of Lahore, late last month. Suicide Terrorists hostage as fifteen hundred worshipers. When the action came more than ninety people. Pakistan acknowledges the Ahmadis, who have strongly divergent views, not real Muslims. Christians know that the horrific attack on Ahmadis also a bad omen for their own future. They are a minority in the same boat. Gill Watson: "The Taliban as Christians and Ahmadis in one breath." The Christians are a tiny minority of at most one Fri percent of the population. Therefore they are still slightly weaker than the Ahmadis, who you have in Pakistan about four million, a total population of about 140 million. Christians have a special problem: they are often recognizable by English names. Of the three members of the Dutch Urdugemeente Nadeem Din is the exception. "I'm named after a famous actor, a Muslim. I have had benefit of that name, because I'm not immediately recognizable as a Christian. A Christian name can provide problems with foreign consulates, if you want a visa, because the staff is often Pakistani and Muslim. " These English names do not mean that Christianity in Pakistan and India (the war of 1947 a country) has entered through western missionaries. Especially in India and Pakistan are ancient forms of Christianity. According to tradition, the Apostle Thomas founded a church in this region and in India is an important branch of the Syrian Orthodox Church. All three, William Watson and Din were born in Pakistan at a time when the relations were less sharp than now, when nobody is looking up from a Christian one son to a famous Muslim said. Their stories show parallels with the situation in Arab countries with a Christian minority, but sound sharper. Although the situation was less serious than now recall the three Dutch Pakistanis are still known examples of discrimination from their youth. Din: "At school we had a morning ceremony, where we saluted the flag. Christian students should not participate because there are Koranic verses were recited. A Muslim teacher has the time for us. They had themselves a Christian school and found it inappropriate that we were excluded. Her attitude is important to me.page 12next page
