Moderator of the Church of Pakistan

The Moderator of the Church of Pakistan, Most Rev. Samuel Azariah Samuel condemned the attack: "This news is very damaging to relations between the communities in Pakistan and around the world. The Government and faith leaders in Pakistan have a role to play in education people that they have the right to protest, but to damage property and terrify people in this way is completely wrong. The Government and faith leaders should provide the lead in preventing attacks."
