A prominent Pakistani priest said today (May 24, 2011) that since the death of Bin Laden, the Taliban has grown in popularity in Pakistan, the Catholic Culture website reports.
"Pakistan is now in the hands of the Taliban," said Fr. Bonnie Mendes, who is ending his term as head of the Asian section of Caritas Internationalis.
Fr. Mendes added, "The average Muslim Pakistani is very angry with the government, the United States, and NATO, and this is why they look favorably on the actions of the Taliban groups."
Although Christians and other religious minorities are still attacked and reduced to silence by Pakistani Muslims, the military, the government headquarters, and the NATO offices are now the main targets of Muslim attacks.
