In order to protect young people from hearing what it considers to be "obscene" words, the government of Pakistan is proposing that the use of such language be blocked. But as Jonathan Racho of International Christian Concern (ICC) tells OneNewsNow, "Jesus" is included on the list.
"Those names include 'breast' [and] 'homosexuals' and some offensive words that some cultures also don't want used," he reports. "But it is outrageous for them to consider the name of Jesus Christ as offensive."
But considering Pakistan's track record in dealing with Christians and Christianity, Racho is not surprised at the ban.
"In Pakistan, Christians are considered like third-class citizens," he explains. "Pakistani officials don't protect Christians -- and the laws of that country, which are based on sharia, ensure that Christians are subjugated and oppressed."
He uses the country's blasphemy law as an example, as it is often misapplied to put Christians in prison on false charges of committing acts against Islam and its prophet Muhammad. The maximum penalty for breaking this law is death.
Right. So where is their tolerance? Muslims demand it here in the United States, and unfortunately our government, local officials and of course, liberals, acquiesce to their demands. But in their own Sharia Law, ISLAM run countries, ZERO tolerance. So much for the "religion of peace."
Yeah, that makes bloody sense.
UPDATE: Pakistan has rescinded their ban on texting the name of Jesus. Sorry, I got to this so late. But it is fantastic news!
