Only today in Peshawar, Pakistan, suicide terrorist bombers attacked a Christian church courtyard as victims left the church service. There were 85 deaths, along with some 120 injured in the blast. As the the remaining survivors mourned the death of their families, blood and flesh stained the white walls of the chapel. Individuals that had survived were transported to a nearby hospital, and cried out for help as the staff struggled to accommodate everyone. This attack completely ousted any effort to maintain public order between the Muslim and Christian populations in Pakistan. This hasn't been the first attack either. On Sunday, a Taliban splinter group assumed responsibility for the murder of children and a church choir that were attending Sunday school. Some Islamic followers helped dig graves for the deceased, letting the Christians believe there are at least some good people in the world. The attack, however, has ignited tensions between the two religious populations, essentially tearing the country apart.
