Shahbaz Bhatti, a Catholic Christian & the federal government’s minister for religious minorities, is the target of Islamic militants because he supports a change in the nation’s blasphemy law. One Islamic militant group pronounced a “death sentence” on the government official last year. Now active planning for Bhatti’s assassination is underway.
“Pray for me and for my life,” Bhatti asked, tacitly acknowledging the reality of the threat. “I can not not and will not go back on this commitment. I will fight fanaticism and fight in defense of Christians in pakistan to the death.”
