How dare these infidels protest the slaughter of their fellow Christians.

PESHAWAR/LAHORE (BosNewsLife) — A Pakistani Christian family was hiding Sunday, October 13, after allegedly receiving death threats for protesting against twin suicide attacks at a historic church in the violence-plagued city of Peshawar, in which their friends were killed. In total at least 171 people died and some 150 people were injured in the September blasts at Peshawar’s All Saints Church, officials said.

Local resident Waqas Pervez, 26, told BosNewsLife that he and his family were “forced to flee”  Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and now hide in another city after suspected Muslim militants threatened to kill him, his mother and other relatives.

He said the men were angry that he was openly expressing grief at an anti-violence demonstration about the loss of his friends and those who were injured in the suicide attacks.

“The problems began on Monday, September 23, when I and other Christians were protesting on [Peshawar’s] University road near a Christian cemetery to mourn our loved ones and to express concerns over the suicide attacks. As we walked towards the Jamia Mosque, clerics and others came out and tried to stop the protesters and scatter them,” he said.

Both the demonstrators and attackers were injured, according to witnesses.
