Today we have some very sad news coming out of Pakistan concerning two Christians who were accused of blaspheming Muhammad the prophet.
According to Compass Direct and Asia News the Christians were shot to death outside the courthouse right after a trial hearing. Both were handcuffed on their way back to prison. Police were going to clear them of the accusations. For days, Muslim religious leaders had incited Muslim faithful against the two, calling for their death.
The Compass Direct story describes the Muslim mob mentality where the Christians were being called to be put to death for the alleged blasphemy. And it is also believed that both Christians were also tortured by police while they were in custody.
Please pray now for the families and church who knew the brothers -Rashid Emmanuel and Sajid Masih Emmanuel who were slain.
