Title: Threat to Christians: Convert or Else [Pakistan]

Christians in the tribal Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan have received threatening letters from Taliban groups informing them that they must convert to Islam within 10 days or else.

The letters were sent to churches and homes. Thousands of Christians live in the province, which is largely controlled by the Taliban and tribal authorities after the Pakistan government removed its troops from the area last year.

The Taliban religious police have been cracking down in the area ever since. Girls' schools have been burnt to the ground, video shops have been blown up, and there have been threats to local barbers whom they say insult Islam by shaving beards.

The police are reportedly investigating the source of the letters, and a local police official told the Associated Press that security has been stepped up at local churches.

The law-and-order situation in the Northwest Frontier Province has been steadily deteriorating. Within the last couple of weeks, there was a failed assassination attempt on the country's interior minister, a suicide bombing in which almost 40 people were killed. Earlier this week, a former minister and the leader of a secular party were killed.

Meanwhile, the government of Pakistan has been focusing its attention on a judicial crisis. Today, a security force of 15,000 is being dispatched in order to prevent further violence between supporters and opponents of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf.

The law-and-order situation in the Northwest Frontier Province has been steadily deteriorating.

And thus, the reasons behind the threats reveal themselves. The nutcases are allowed to roam freely.

They're just Christians and without oil, they are of no consequence.

Funny, I haven't heard of any Christian groups threatening populations to convert to Christianity or die...I wonder why..could it be because they don't do it??? This behavior seems to be common only among islamics for some reason. Naaa....it's just a coincidence. They're good folks. It must be CIA spooks doing this shit./sar

Might be the only time we all agree.

Funny, I haven't heard of any Christian groups pulling that trick either, at least, not violently. Though, some of the local Fundies get their panties in a twist down at the local Catholic Parish sometimes and annoy the customers there.

No, we Christians mesmerize weak minds with beautiful music according to Lefty Louise, a regular caller to the west coast Ray Breem Show.

Louise (who is Jewish) believed that the Soviets should have ruled the world, and she was quite bitter about Christian Capitalism and especially those soul moving hymns.

Hmm, think about it. Perhaps Martin Luther writing A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD was better than everything Edward Bernays taught or Sigmund Freud professed.

"Wow, that song is so beautiful that I think I believe in God!"
