Shamim Masih has been a fantastic writer on bringing a snapshot on the everyday life experiences of the Christian minority in Pakistan. That snapshot has typically not been a pretty picture. In this post contribution I actually considered to not post it on my American oriented blog. Honestly I was kind of left wondering what the completeness of this picture sent by Shamim. I am sure Shamim will correct me if I am incorrect. My sense is that the theme of this report is a demonstration of a lack of unity among minority writing journalists and Christian Rights activists. And if my understanding is correct then Shamim is calling for a dialogue that brings a better unity of purpose among the movers and shakers of the Christian minority to deal with the discrimination that exists perpetuated by the Muslim led government.
