Pakistani Christian editor receiving death threats for reporting on persecution of Christians
The uniformity of the language in Islamic supremacist hate mail is striking. It is so formulaic that one could all but program an automatic jihad-mail generator to do one’s hating and kick back with a cup of tea.
