The assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has thrown Pakistan and its 165 million people into one of the worst crises in its 60-year history, raising the specter of widespread civil unrest and the cancellation of elections. Counterterrorism experts warn that the assassination of Benazir Bhutto brings closer the ultimate nightmare of Al-Qaeda and its affiliates being armed with nuclear weapons.

This challenging inter-religious relationship is again evident when some Muslims feel uncertain whether they should greet their Christian neighbors on holidays. The Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI) declared in 1981 that greeting Christians on Christmas was haram (forbidden).
