A Small Gesture for Our Christian Brethren
By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Rawalpindi , Pakistan

 

 It is really heartening to see that everyone on the net and in the Pakistan media has condemned the torching of the Church in Sambarial. As the Christian community of the area is generally not well off, would it not be in the fitness of things if we were to assist them financially in restoring their place of worship? 

Such financial help should first come from the government and then from the general public.

I would request the Church authorities to open a bank account for this purpose. The account’s details should be made known to all to facilitate their generous contribution.  As a Muslim, I strongly believe that we owe this small gesture to our Christian brethren.
