Another Blasphemy Case Registered... Christians Are Under Threat

The accused in the blasphemy case is under police custody and World Vision in Progress – WVIP is handling legal matters.

(ISLAMABAD) - On October 29, we celebrated our wedding anniversary. After the celebration, lying in bed on a lazy autumn late evening, something dark and nasty reached out to me, my cell phone ringing.

One of my friends was on the line, they said that there is another blasphemy case in Wazirabad Gujranwala, the situation is tense there. I made a call to the local police officer, Sami Ullah, the Station House Officer (SHO), who told me details and confirmed that there is an incident and administration is on the ground looking into the matter.

Man of Mass - Making a Difference

Put aside for a moment what you feel about the conflict in Pakistan and who’s right and wrong. Christians are under threat; they are living right in the middle of an unwinnable situation.

(ISLAMABAD) - In Pakistan, on September 22, 2013, more than 125 people died and around 170 were injured in a bomb attack on All Saints Church, in Peshawar.

Taliban, or one of their affiliate groups, had gone to St. Dominic’s Church in Bahawalpur in October 2001, shot the guard at the gate and then killed 15 people in the congregation. It was the first mass-killing of Christians in the history of Pakistan.

Chinese Police Shoot Dead Seven Uyghurs in Kashgar: Group

Chinese authorities usually blame outbreaks of violence in Xinjiang on the region's ethnic minority Muslim Uyghurs, who the government describes as "terrorists". But rights groups and experts say Beijing exaggerates the threat to take the heat off domestic policies that cause unrest or to justify the authorities' use of force against Uyghurs.

(HONG KONG RFA) - Seven ethnic minority Uyghurs have been shot dead by police in separate clashes in China's restive northwestern region of Xinjiang and nine others detained for protesting against some of the killings, an exile Uyghur group said on Monday.

The shootings underscore a trend of increasing violence in Xinjiang, where the Muslim Uyghurs complain of discrimination and religious controls under Beijing’s rule.

Granting Security Clearances: Is Any One Really In Charge?

Exactly how broken the system is, is now clear to all. And what needs to be done to correct it is hardly a mystery. Whether we have the will to take action remains an open question.

(WASHINGTON DC) - In September, Washington was shaken when a man, armed with both weapons and a security clearance, entered the Washington Navy Yard and killed 12 men and women. Similarly, Edward Snowden, who leaked thousands of classified documents, was in full possession of a top secret security clearance.

Neither Aaron Alexis, the Navy Yard shooter, nor Snowden, were employees of the U.S. Government.

Postwar Reconstruction Looms...
Passing the Torch to a New Generation of Syrians

Reconstruction of Syria will be aided by three regime reshuffles since the beginning of the March 2011 uprising, which has infused much ‘new blood’ into the Syrian government.

(BEIRUT) - Few, one imagines, in the Syrian Arab Republic these days question the urgency and enormity of the task of reconstruction of their ancient country from war inflicted destruction caused by a carnage already more than half as long as World War I and approaching half as long as World War II.

For this ten millennium civilization and its thousands of priceless treasures, many partially destroyed, emergency efforts are needed today to preserve and protect the structures from thieves and war damage. Not many here would disagree with this priority of the Syrian government.

CIA Using Direct Commercial Sales Program to Arm Jihadist Rebels in Syria

It has been revealed that the CIA was actively smuggling weapons to Syrian rebels as the attack on the Benghazi Embassy was waged.

(OZARK, MO) - Most Americans had never even heard of Bashar al-Assad, Syria's President, until Obama started ranting about chemical weapons. I talk to people frequently who still can't identify him by name. They are often dumbfounded when they learn that this country has done little to deserve its wrath from the western powers, with the USA in the lead.

The Syrian rebels are far from rational, they are a sect of Islam that does not seek peace, nor do they accept a secular government like Assad's where Christians and Muslims and Jews lived peacefully together.
