It is pertinent to mention here that an enraged crowd went on a rampage Wednesday, destroying a Christian settlement in eastern Pakistan, burning a church, and damaging two others, according to authorities. The mob also demolished a man’s home after accusing him of desecrating Islam’s sacred book, as well as attacking many other Christian homes.
The violence at Jaranwala, in the district of Faisalabad in Punjab province, started when some local Muslims reported that a local Christian, Raja Amir, and a companion had torn pages from a Quran, tossed them on the ground, and scrawled disparaging remarks on others.
