Filling in for Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com), I’m Ean Leppin. 17-year-old Christian attacked by Muslim mob A 17-year old Christian in Pakistan is recovering after being attacked by a Muslim mob earlier this year.

The mob would harass girls of Christian families as they walked to church. On one Sunday in August, Ikhlaq Masih confronted the mob to protect a Christian girl. Later, the mob beat him unconscious. 

Masih told International Christian Concern most of his wounds have now healed and that he has forgiven his attackers. He said, “My Christian faith was what led me to stand up for that girl and protect my sister in Christ. Despite everything that happened, I pray that God will show them the light and help them understand the wrong they have done.”

In Matthew 5:44, Jesus said, “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.” Iran executed over 2,000 people in 2025
