Here's a blog entry from Fr. John at Anglican Catholic Priest about a young man who stands guard with his .308 AK-style underfolder outside of an Anglican Catholic Church mission in the Diocese of Lahore. Here (from a recent issue of the Trinitarian, the ACC's official newspaper) the Rt. Rev. Brian Iverach, Episcopal Visitor to the Diocese of Lahore, salutes another person apparently holding the same weapon who stands guard there at the same mission church.
I'm always happy to see such manifestations of "Muscular Christianity", especially in the face of Islamic oppression. I am neither a pacifist nor a believer in dispensational otherworldliness, both of which have no room in their thinking for Christian resistance. The struggle in Lahore, like in other places around the world, is simply a continuation of the war started by Muslim imperialists back in the 7th century, to which the Crusades were but a defensive response.
May God bless that little Anglican church in Pakistan, as well as the church everywhere in the Islamic world. And God bless our missionaries there.
