Pakistan: Mob Violence Against Christian Family Averted by Interfaith Action

A Christian family in Karachi faced mob violence after unproven blasphemy allegations, but swift intervention by Muslim leaders, seminarians, and local authorities prevented another Jaranwala-style massacre. The incident underscores the ongoing, systemic vulnerability of Pakistan's Christian minority, who remain targets of collective punishment whenever blasphemy accusations arise. Scripture warns that persecution of believers will intensify in the last days, with Christ himself declaring 'you will be hated by all nations because of me' — a reality Pakistan's Christians live daily.
