Paul Bhatti, brother of slain Pakistani minister Shahbaz Bhatti, forgives assassins

Now this is what I’d call ‘walking the walk’.

Background information on the assassination of Shahbaz Bhatti, here.

Paul Bhatti, brother of the former Pakistani minister for minorities who was murdered by Islamic extremists, said he and his family forgive his brother’s assassins.

Shahbaz Bhatti, who spoke out against Pakistan’s anti-blasphemy laws and encouraged religious freedom, was killed March 2.

Speaking to reporters in Rome April 5, Paul Bhatti said his family has forgiven Shahbaz’s assassins, “because our faith teaches us to do this. Our brother Shahbaz was a Christian and the Christian faith tells us to forgive.”

I wonder if I’d be able to ‘walk the walk’ given similar circumstances.

    This should not be confused with acquittal. Those responsible should still be found and removed from society.
