Christians Burned to Death

I know it’s Monday and I ususally try to keep things light. But something happened that the media hasn’t covered and I think you should know.

Recently, at least eight Christians were burned to death in town in eastern Pakistan:

“Hundreds of armed supporters of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, an outlawed Islamic
militant group, set alight dozens of Christian homes in Gojra town at
the weekend after allegations that a copy of the Koran had been defiled.”

The sad thing is, police stood by and did nothing as this rampage happened. According to the article, Christians also face intimidation
because of discriminatory blasphemy laws, including one that carries
the death penalty for defiling the Koran and images of the Prophet
Muhammad. The law is often misused to settle personal scores.

Just wanted to bring it to your attention because this incident has been strangely absent in the press.
