Talian Execute Christians in Karachi, Pakistan

One of my friend doing ministry in Pakistan send me this email. I hope you would keep Christians in Pakistan in your prayers:

On the night of April 21, 2009, more than 100 masked terrorists invaded "Taseer Town" in Karachi, Pakistan, armed with automatic rifles. They attacked the residents of the Christian neighborhood who had protested the pro-talibanization messages, including "Embrace Islam or Die" and "Talibanization is our Goal", chalked on the wall of two churches. The Taliban militants went door to door looting, pillaging, and assaulting (physically and sexually) all the while shouting statements that translate into "you infidels have to convert to Islam or die" and "how dare you protest against the Taliban".

When confronted by resistance from two Christians the terrorists killed them execution style in front of the families of the victims.Radical Islamist thought is no longer confined to a few remote geographic locations in Pakistan. It has spread into its major cities. This most recent incident serves as proof that the disease that is "Islamic terror" has infected the nerve center and financial capital of the country, Karachi.
