Pakistan: Christian Protesters Decry Muslim Mob’s Arson Spree Following Blasphemy Charge
11th March 2013
The violence that tore through Lahore’s Badami Bagh community Saturday followed the arrest of Sawan Masih, a Christian in his 20s accused of blasphemy.
But Masih’s arrest wasn’t enough to appease an angry mob of Muslims irate over the alleged crime.
“(The) mob wanted police to hand them over the alleged blasphemer,” said Hafiz Majid, a senior police official in Badami Bagh.
The mob also looted some shops run by Christians, he said.
Majid said Christians have fled the area for fear of being killed.
If convicted, Masih faces the death penalty.
What peaceful, friendly people! Wouldn’t you just love to have some for neighbors?
That’s some fine Religion o’ Peace™ you got there, Mohammed.
Of course, as we all know, the real problem is Islamophobia.
