Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) — All Saints Church was designed to look like a mosque — to symbolize unity amidst a community of many religions. Completed in 1883, it was built within the old walled city of Peshawar during a century of relative peace and harmony.
But the weekend bombing of the historic church has yet again highlighted the intolerance, lack of security and carnage today’s Pakistanis face. These are challenges successive governments have failed to address and deal with decisively.
A splinter group of the militant Islamist Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility for the church attack that left 86 people dead, more than 120 injured and hundreds of lives shattered.
“This is the deadliest attack on a church and the Christian community in Pakistan’s history,” said Human Rights Watch country representative Ali Dayan Hasan.
