By Micah Halpern
Sunday December 17, 2017 I've Been Thinking: Earlier today a double suicide attack in a church in Pakistan killed 8 people and wounded 42. The numbers will continue to climb. The BethEl Memorial Methodist Church was packed with nearly 400 people as services began. 2 suicide bombers entered the church and began shooting indiscriminately. No one has yet to claim responsibility. Given the situation, the perpetrators were probably a branch of the Taliban in Pakistan called Jamaat ul Ahrar. But it could also be an ISIS group. Pakistan is home to 3.5 - 4 million Christians of the total 200 million citizen population. They compose about 1.6 percent of the population. Attacks against Christians are becoming more and more common - not just in Pakistan but throughout the world, especially the Islamic world. More attention needs to be focused on these attacks. World leaders need to be influenced, even forces, to take the proper and necessary steps to protect their Christian populations.
