"Christian Family Burned to Death in Pakistan After Koran is 'Defiled' (they should have said allegedly defiled - read on)...

Paramilitary troops patrolled the streets of a town in eastern Pakistan yesterday after Muslim radicals burned to death eight members of a Christian family, raising fears of violence spreading to other areas.

Hundreds of armed supporters of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ... after allegations that a copy of the Koran had been defiled... opened fire indiscriminately, threw gas bombs and looted houses as thousands of frightened Christians ran for safety. “They were shouting anti-Christian slogans and attacked our houses,” Rafiq Masih, a resident of the predominantly Christian colony, said. Residents said that police stood aside while the mob went on the rampage. “We kept begging for protection, but police did not take action,” Masih said.

Police and local officials said that at least eight people, including four women and a child, were killed in the fires. Two others died of gunshot wounds. Residents said that the casualties were much higher; one claimed that the number of dead could be in the dozens as many bodies were still buried under the rubble. Shahbaz Bhatti, the Minister for Minorities, said that 40 Christian homes were torched in rioting. He said there was no truth to allegations that a Koran had been

defiled...Tension started mounting last week after Muslims accused three Christian youths of burning a copy of the Koran. They denied the allegations, but clerics called for their death..."

Can you imagine the uproar if a Christian pastor called for someone's death - let alone have it happen! Yet no one seems to notice or even mind that Muslim clerics do this all the time! Islam is NOT a religion of peace (it never has been) but it is an even bigger enemy to Liberty and Freedom than communism ever has been.
