Intolerance growing in South Punjab: Report

This is Islam in action.  Steady, unrelenting persecution and harassment of non-Muslims is one way Islam has spread over the centuries.  This could not happen without the collusion and aid of the government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I call this kind of assault the Islamic boa constrictor.  Every time it's victims are lulled into believing that the Muslims will leave them alone, the Islamic boa tightens down just a little more.   

BTW, it's hard to believe that intolerance could become any worse in Pakistan.  SARC.

Over 0.25 million non-Muslims live in five districts of south Punjab – Rahim Yar Khan, Muzaffargarh, Multan, Layyah and Khanewal.

As a result of increasing persecution and discrimination, members of the Hindu community in the region are being forced to convert to Islam. Non-Muslim women are also being forced to change their religion and marry Muslim men.
