Some of us will take to the streets this Christmas in a bid to save four million from torture, persecution and death.
The four million live in jeopardy for quietly thanking God for the very first Christmas, not to mention his Son’s salvation in showing us the way to live and the way home to God.
They’re a minority living among 156 million Muslims in Pakistan.
And it’s not only Christians that tremble. So too do Hindus, Sikhs and even minority Shiite Muslims.
Imagine 91 per cent of UK citizens refusing any rights to the nine per cent of ethnic communities.
No more mosques or temples. Existing ones demolished.
Ethnic homes torched, women raped and families with young children burned alive.
This, of course, will never happen in this Sceptred Isle, not so long as British sanity and true Christian values and democracy prevail.
Yet it happens to Pakistani Christians, the latest atrocities in Koriyan and Gojra where thousands of Muslims attacked Christian homes and churches encouraged by their infamous Blasphemy Law and a silent Pakistani government.
The British Pakistani Christian Association is to lead the protest with a London march on December 19 and I wonder what we should be doing up here.

Should we meet, pray or take to the streets? Perhaps we could submit a protest to Manchester’s Pakistan Consul General.
We could all sign it. Maybe our decent Lancashire Muslims could even add a note asking Pakistan to note British freedoms and learn a thing or two from them.
UPDATE: Thanks for your flood of ideas on how we might protest about the Christians in Pakistan who are being killed and torched, and my special gratitude for support from British Muslims. Plans are advanced for something at 11am on December 15 in Accrington. Full details in my column on December 12.
