Court: Pakistani Christians Must Reveal Religion to Vote or Apply for Jobs - Christianity Today
Christianity Today reports: "Pakistan’s citizens must now declare their religion when applying for identity documents, or if they want to work in government or register to vote, Islamabad’s High Court ruled this month. [...] Their true religion must now also be visible on birth certificates, ID cards, voters’ lists, and passports. Those who apply for a job in the judiciary, armed forces, civil services, and other government jobs also need to submit an affidavit declaring the Khatm-i-Naboowat (that Muhammad was the final prophet), stated Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui in his ruling, as reported by Pakistani newspaper Dawn."

Comment: In order to apply for a job or vote you have to list your religion....in an officially Muslim country. No problems there, right? This is a sad development and will harm many non-Muslims in Pakistan. Please join me in praying for the persecuted church in Pakistan.
