You've heard a lot about blasphemy accusations recently, but allow me to share with you the reality of an accusation:
A bride and
groom should consider their wedding day the happiest of their life. In
the case of Amir* and Anna*, a blasphemy accusation turned their special
day into a nightmare.
Local Muslims
falsely claimed that the family had cut pages of the Quran into
confetti to be thrown at the ceremony, thus blaspheming Islam. As a result, 500 Muslim extremists attacked and burned Christian homes in the village. About 60 homes were destroyed.
This is just
one of a hundred examples of how blasphemy laws are taken to the
extreme. Christians carry the brunt of retribution.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Our goal is to raise $90,000 to provide 30 families with:
- sound legal aid
- relocation of families if their communities have become hostile and dangerous
- funds to start a small business, allowing the family to sustain themselves
- school tuition and
- food aid.
With
Pakistan's Federal Sharia Court advocating for the death penalty for
blasphemy against Islam, now more than ever Christian minorities need
our help.
