I agree that you shouldn't bash people for their religious beliefs (unless they actually ask you for your views, in which case they're pretty much telling you to slate them). At the same time, I find it hard not to think that somebody who would practise Christianity in Pakistan is lacking in some vital survival instinct. Gang rape is very obviously wrong in every possible circumstance from any angle you can think of (no pun intended), so there's certainly no justification for the gang rapist's actions... at the same time there's not much self-preservation in that particular Christian's lifestyle choice either.

I'd be tempted to send out the message: If you want to live in Pakistan, become a Muslim*. If you want to practise Christianity, don't live in Pakistan.

Seriously, why not just become a Muslim if you live there? Everybody else does it and it's not like the whole religion malarky is real anyway.

*Or maybe a Sikh, if you want to live in the Punjab.
