LAHORE – At first glance, the sight of flags with black and white stripes fluttering atop several Christian homes in the run-down Joseph Colony neighbourhood of Lahore seems highly incongruous.
The flags are those of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Pakistan’s largest Islamic religious party, which is often described as being close to the Taliban. The JUI-F and the Christian community are definitely not natural bedfellows.
