It is at this age that impressions are created that will last throughout life. Pakistan suffers a major problem of illiteracy, particularly amongst its females and especially amongst its minorities. Schools can become dens of peril, with the risk of rape, abduction, sexual molestation and forcible conversion. In schools the children are inculcated with hatred of the \u2018Other\u2019. At various times this can take the form of vilifying Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Jews, Ahmadis, Shia and Sufis. The situation has become so severe that many from minority communities dare not even send their children to school. What has made the situation so dire is the almost blanket use of blasphemy laws, a mechanism which is so amorphous and intrusive in its approach that it has become as extra-legal method to which settle old scores and pander to the darkest of human prejudices against those deemed as being \u2018different\u2019.<\/span><br \/>\n                                <span style=\"line-height: 20.39px; font-size: 13px;\"><br \/>\n                                    <br \/> <\/span><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><br \/>\n                                    <\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 20.39px; font-size: 13px;\"><br \/> <\/span><span style=\"line-height: 22px; font-size: 11pt;\">Asif Shakoor&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n                                    <span style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 22px; font-size: 11pt;\">(Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK)<br \/>\n                                        <br \/> <\/span><span style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 22px; font-size: 11pt;\"><br \/> Wilson Chowdhry&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n                                        <span style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 22px; font-size: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">(Chair of BPCA)<\/p>\n<p> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt;\">&#8220;The attack on innocent Malala Yousafzai, a child of only 16 who participated in a BBC documentary on gender discrimination, resulted in worldwide condemnation of the Taliban and the manner in which they suppress the female gender in Pakistan. The shooting of a child was an incident full of enough trauma to pierce the most steely of hearts, and this is what it arguably took to bring Pakistan&#8217;s poor gender discrimination record into international scrutiny. What will it take to bring the plight of Pakistani Christians and &#8216;Others&#8217; into a similar level of International scrutiny? It is hard to tell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> He added;<\/span>\n                                            <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"color: black; line-height: 150%; font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt;\">&#8220;Churches are burnt down, bibles destroyed and communities are chased from their homes, yet attempts to bring any sense of reform or justice into such situations is limited. Killers, blackmailers, property mafia and extortionists are able to enact their crimes with relative impunity, without any clamour from supposed &#8216;civilised&#8217; societies in the west. Much of this can be blamed on media companies who are disinterested in the suffering of these victims as talking about the newest high profile divorce sells more papers. Our society in the west has become devoid of passion as spin doctors and media moguls have inculcated our minds with worldly matters, rendering our moral compass useless.&#8221;<\/span>\n                                            <\/p>\n<p> <\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n<p>                            <\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n<p>                            <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 14.2pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/BPCA-Book-Launch.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\"><br \/>\n                                <br \/><strong style=\"text-align: center;\">Wilson describes the origins of the book project.<\/strong>\n                            <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/BPCA-Book-Launch2.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\">\n                            <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Peter Tatchell and Ranbir Singh (Hindu Human Rights Group) Co-Authors of the new book.<\/strong>\n                            <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/BPCA-Book-Launch4.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\">\n                            <\/div>\n<p> <strong> <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Wilson Chowdhry and MP Andrew Stephenson Chairman of the All Parliamentary Party Group for Pakistan.<\/strong>\n                            <\/div>\n<p>                            <\/strong> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/BPCA-Book-Launch6.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\"><br \/>\n                            <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The gathering of humanitarians from a wide variety of faiths&nbsp;and no faith.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/BPCA-Book-Launch7.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\"><br \/>\n                                <br \/> <strong>Wilson Chowdhry, MP Andrew Stephenson and Pakistani Christian Rapper Faisal Gill.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor; width: 700px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/10750333_10154929135260597_1793440613240974633_o.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\"><br \/> Margaret Owen (MBE) Director of Widows for Peace.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/10801805_10154929134585597_1489947006110048341_n.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\"><br \/> Pakistani Christian rapper Faisal Gill.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor; width: 700px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.britishasianchristians.org\/full-previous-archive\/oldimages\/IMG_1554.jpg\" unselectable=\"on\"><\/p>\n<p> <\/strong>\n                            <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MP Andrew Stephenson Chair of the All Parliamentary Party Group on Pakistan was gifted the first printed copy of BPCA new publication.
