GENEVA, SWITZERLAND - Minority religious communities in Pakistan are
living in “fear and terror” of Islamic
fundamentalists amid abductions and forced conversions that the
government is helpless to stop, the World Council
of Churches (WCC) said on Wednesday.
A statement from the WCC’s ruling Central Committee declared that
Pakistan’s small Hindu and Christian
communities were increasingly subject to “persecution and discrimination”,
with mounting Islamisation of a
formerly more secular nation.
“Today a significant number of young women of religious minorities ... face
violence, including sexual assault,
rape, threats and persecution,” said the WCC - an influential global
organisation of all Christian faiths except
Roman Catholics.
