Apostles’ Creed shooting

Following weeks of attacks on Christians and churches in Jaranwala, Punjab, comes the latest outrage: a pastor shot by militants after removing Islamic slogans daubed across his church.

The attackers ordered Pastor Eleazar Sidhu to say aloud the Islamic creed. When he recited the Apostles’ Creed instead, they shot and wounded him.

The shooting came shortly after a 5,000-strong mob destroyed 26 churches, Bibles and many Christian homes following unsubstantiated accusations of blasphemy.
