Suicide bomber kills 5 at church in Pakistan - CNN

A suicide bomber attacked a church packed with worshippers Sunday in Pakistan, leaving seven people dead and more than 20 others injured, authorities say.

Two attackers targeted a Methodist church in Quetta, but only one managed to detonate his vest, said Sarfaraz Bugti, the interior minister of Balochistan province. The second attacker was shot by a church security guard before he detonated his explosives, Bugti said.

Biggest news here is pakistan has christians. I had no idea Pakistan had Christians. They are one of the most nonsecular states in the world.
 

Forty of whom are either on death row or serving life sentences for blasphemy against Islam. Asia Bibi has been on death row for 8 years for saying, "My Jesus died for me. What did your Mohamed ever do for you"? And the world is silent. Just imagine the world-wide outrage if Israel had condemned a Muslim woman to death for saying, "Mohamed is the prophet of God". So, yes, there are Christians in Pakistan, and they live daily with the possibility of being brutalized either by their Muslim neighbors or the state itself. The Christians of Egypt are a little more protected because of their higher numbers (10%), and because the world is more aware of them, but they too occasionally get murdered by Muslim mobs and militant Islamists.
