Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, told church members that the setting on fire of around 200 Bibles in a trailer near his church by an unidentified suspect on Easter Sunday is proof that Christianity is ‘under attack’ in the United States.
‘If you think Christianity is not under attack more than ever before in the United States of America, you’ve not been paying attention,’ Locke said.
Pakistan: Christian tortured
Muslim farm owners in Pakistan have beaten a Christian labourer with iron rods and shot him in the leg for requesting the wages owed him.
Waqas Masih, a 42-year-old farm worker from Garaiyan Kamalpur village in Faisalabad, had asked for his wages to buy clothes for his two children for Easter celebrations, said his brother, Akash Masih. ‘The two men first brutally tortured Waqas with the iron rods, and then one pulled out a pistol and opened fire on him, resulting in a bullet injury on his right thigh.’
