Non-NPOV and lack of sources in part of the Christian section[edit]

There is a small myth that Christianity has been existent in Pakistan ever since a few decades after the crucifixion of Jesus. This myth became more popular after the finding of a structure looking like a giant cross in Northern Pakistan, but there is almost no evidence that this cross is related to Christianity.

"Myth" is a loaded word in this context, maybe it should be changed to "misconception". Also, there are no sources for any of this. Gwrui (talk) 05:21, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unverifiable Reference, 1951[edit]

According to the article, 14.8% of West Pakistanis were Hindu in 1941, and the fraction fell precipitously to 1.6% in 1951. However, the reference to Census of Pakistan is a bitstream outlet located in India which does not work. Pakistani census bulletins located at DSpace do not include religion. Can someone provide a usable link to (West) Pakistan religion data in 1951? I searched for about 3 hours to locate it online. Sooku (talk) 04:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cases collected by Global Human Rights Defence show that underage Hindu (and Christian) girls are often targeted by Muslims for forced conversion to Islam.[15] According to the National Commission of Justice and Peace and the Pakistan Hindu Council (PHC) around 1,000 non-Muslim minority women are converted to Islam and then forcibly married off to their abductors or rapists.[100][16]

Remove from article as it is unrelated to the rest of the section and may introduce unnecessary biases. WalterWhite13 (talk) 05:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
