Pakistani acid-attack victim finds new life in Houston

Persecution for Christ

Written by holmegm

From the Houston Chronicle:

She was 16 years old, working as an operator in a tiny, public call office in Pakistan, when a man walked in and saw the silver cross dangling around her neck.
He asked her three times: "Are you a Christian?"
Julie Aftab answered, "Yes, sir," the first two times, and then got frustrated.
"Didn't you hear me?" she asked.
They argued, and the man abruptly left the little office, returning 30 or 40 minutes later with a turquoise bottle. Aftab tried to block the arc of battery acid, but it melted much of the right side of her face and left her with swirling, bone-deep burns on her chest and arms.

PineHall - Blasphemy Laws

This is a great story showing how blasphemy laws in Pakistan are used as an excuse when persecuting minority religions. Christians there live under the threat of these laws. They are a club used against Christians. We have it easy here in America.
