Texas Honors Pakistan Day, Ignoring Persecuted Christians' Plight

In a shocking turn of events, the Texas House of Representatives officially recognized “Pakistan Day,” raising serious questions about the values being celebrated in one of the most Christian demographics in the nation.

On March 23rd, 2025, state lawmakers passed a resolution commemorating a country notorious for its brutal persecution of Christians.

While Texas is known for its strong Christian foundations, many are perplexed by the honoring of a nation where Christians face systemic violence and discrimination.

Reports indicate that simply practicing Christianity in Pakistan can lead to imprisonment or even death under the country's harsh blasphemy laws.


Just as Texas legislators celebrated this day, Christians in Pakistan were enduring moral atrocities, including forced conversions and abductions.

Human rights organizations estimate that at least a thousand Christian women and girls are forcibly converted and married to Muslim men every year in Pakistan.

This is a stark contradiction to the values that Texans hold dear—freedom, liberty, and the right to practice one’s faith without fear.

Representative Suleman Lalani, who introduced the resolution, may have had political motivations in mind.

Texas boasts one of the largest populations of Pakistani-Americans, numbering over 80,000, which contributes significantly to the push for recognition.

But as Representative Joanne Shofner pointedly remarked, “I support the persecuted Christians of Pakistan.”

Her dissent underscores a growing concern among many Texans about the implications of such a resolution.

Several members of the Republican Party have condemned the recognition, urging their colleagues to reconsider how laws and resolutions impact the values of freedom and faith that define America.

The celebration of “Pakistan Day” reveals a troubling alignment between political correctness and an alarming ignorance of the realities faced by persecuted Christians globally.

This decision begs the question: are Texas lawmakers prioritizing demographic appeasement over moral integrity?

As the state grapples with this contentious issue, it is clear that the voices advocating for the rights of the oppressed must not be drowned out by political expediency.

In a time when the world is witnessing a rising tide of hostility towards Christianity, the focus should remain on championing those who suffer while adhering to the true tenets of freedom and faith.
