As the Taliban aims to gain a stronger foothold in Pakistan, increasingly violent assaults against religious minorities are further evidence of what many perceive to be the militants' growing power and influence in the volatile country.
These attacks add to the instability of an already highly unstable country. In dozens of interviews from Karachi to Peshawar, Christians, Sikhs and Hindus told of attacks and threats and expressed an overwhelming sense of fear.
Amarnath Motunal, President of Hindu Community, Karachi, said, "We are more in risk, we were in risk, but this present situation has put us in further risk. We are looking for shelter where we can save our families if anything bad happens in Pakistan."
