Outcry as Islamabad officials target slums over Christians - Yahoo News
Yahoo News reports: "Human rights activists slammed Islamabad authorities Thursday after
court documents showed the Pakistani capital's development body had
cracked down on illegal slums because it feared their growing Christian
population would threaten the city's Muslim majority. [...]
The drive rendered hundreds homeless and stirred anger with
demonstrations held to try to stop the bulldozers. [...] Official figures on the city's religious demographics are not available, but rights activists have estimated the Christian population at roughly 50,000 out of around 530,000."
