Son muchas las chicas cristianas secuestradas, violadas y convertidas al Islam por la fuerza o incluso asesinadas, como en el caso de Amaría Masih, la 'Maria Goretti de Pakistán'. Hay niños secuestrados y asesinados por tráficos oscuros, como el reciente caso de Sunil Masih o el de Shazia Bashir. Ahora a los niños también se les acusa de blasfemia, como a Rimsha Masih. Si se daña a los niños es que realmente se ha llegado a un límite intolerable de abuso y crueldad”: lo declara a la Agencia Fides el padre dominico James Channan, OP, Director del “Peace Center”, de Lahore, muy comprometido en el diálogo interreligioso.
