Christians and Hindus make up 10% of Bangladesh's population of mainly Sunni Muslims. On Monday 2,000 Bangladeshi Christians from various denominations prayed for ‘humanity to wake up’ to the growing threat of Islamic terrorism in the country. They prayed for a country of unity, peace and harmony, for a dormant humanity to become aware of the persecution, violence and murders committed in secret. They asked God to bless the terrorists so that they change their minds. The prayers were led by Catholic and Protestant clergymen. ‘We live in fear because every day ordinary folks become victims of Islamic militants. For this reason, we urge Christian leaders to call on humanity to wake up’, said Father Kamal Corraya. ‘There is no place for violence in the teachings of Jesus Christ,’ said the moderator of the Protestant Church of Bangladesh.
