An Islamic State (IS) terrorist attack against Christians in Quetta, Pakistan on April 15 has led one Christian leader to warn Pakistan has never been more dangerous for non-Muslims than it is now, the Worthy News website reports today (April 17, 2018).
"It increasingly looks like the IS is targeting the Christian minority in particular, for want of better reason, simply because Christians are an anathema, pariahs in their own country," said Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the British Pakistani Christians Association.
At around 6 p.m. on April 15, as Christians departed a church service in Quetta, three gunmen on two motorbikes drove by and opened fire on people walking along Essa Nagri Road. Two Christians were killed and at least eight others were injured in the attack.
Witnesses said they heard the terrorists shout "Allahu Akbar" ("God is Great" in Arabic) as they sped away . Pakistan is one of Islam's most fanatical countries.
