2004-08-04
From the Pakistan Christian Post
A famous Scholar and Vatican-decorated Pakistani Christian Rev. Khalid Soomro who engaged himself in volunteer services to mange PCP Karachi Bureau office is not safe in Pakistan. Muslim extremist group ... set his house on fire on July 27. The family members of Mr. Soomro informed PCP about threatening e-mails and calls to Mr. KM Soomro, which have pushed him to hidings in Pakistan.

One of the e-mail reads as:

Mr.Khalid Mansoor Soomro
I am editor of Zarb-e-Momin a large weekly-circulated newspaper. I come to know that you become kafir (infidel) and left Islam, and you are working against Islam in an Islamic country. This is too much.
Behave yourself and repent and again enter into Islam, otherwise, our youths will be forced to make you human being .I have read your testimonies and know about your activities. This is the first and last warning to you, your family and your whole network. If I heard any negative activity on your end then we will be on right path to punish you.
Your father
Haji Abdul Rasheed

For our readers information this Zarb-e-Momin weekly is published by Al Radheed Trust in Pakistan and on evidence of involvement of this Trust with Al Qaida Terror Network, the trust was banned but its publications are still reaching in market. The PCP correspondent from Faisalabad Rev. Stephen Nazir is also receiving such threaten mails and calls from this group and in hiding in Pakistan. The leaders of Pakistan Christian Congress have demanded iron hands against culprits and safety of Rev. Soomro and Rev. Nazir by the government of Pakistan.
