Christian Brick Kiln Worker Killed for Drinking from a Muslim’s Cooler
Source excerpt
Overcome by thirst after working under the sweltering summer heat in Pattoki, Pakistan, a Christian brick kiln worker reached for the closest water cooler and took a sip. Doing so cost him his life. The worker, a 39-year-old man named Sadique, had just finished stacking bricks before he took the drink. The water cooler belonged to some of his Muslim co-workers. One of the Muslims, Ahmed, confronted Sadique, telling him he couldn’t drink their water because he was a Christian and would “contaminate” it.
