Struggle of Pakistani Christians
Pakistani Christians being the minority have became refugees in their own country. The Christian population of Pakistan is only 5 percent of the overall population. Overwhelmed by a Muslim majority, at times they face violent attacks. Other times, they believe they're expelled from their lands -- faced with a distant and dark future.
About 2,000 Christians were evicted from the land and home and dumped in a camp at downtown Islamabad. Being locked down and without proper sanitation, water and shelter, people are dying of poverty in this camp.
Other countries of course deal with religious strife; minorities all over the world face an uphill struggle. But here, with the addition of poverty, in the oppressive heat -- in an over-crowed camp on the side of the road in downtown Islamabad -- it seems that much worse.
