#1 Of *course* they don't have race riots. They'd *shoot* the minority folks for getting uppity.

Spin is such an amazing thing.

#2 But in Pakistan, no Hindu has died in any such incident..."

Just wondering-does anyone know what rights Jews and Christians have to openly worship in Pakistan? Are there churches and synagogues there?

#3 There may be synagogues, but I'd doubt it, considering there were only two Jews left in Afghanistan.

As for churches -- sure, but they have a tendency to attract grenades and other explosive devices.

#4 No there are no Synagoges and a person of jewish belief is in constant danger even if he gets the visa. I accept that Pakistan is not as violent against Christians as India is and Hindus dont get killed like muslims are in India, but Christians are still not treated equally. There is not a single Pakistani Citizen of Jewish faith that I am very positive on, based on the census results. They have severe problems with Wahabis killing Shias and Ahmadis.
