(BosNewsLife) - A human rights investigation continued Friday, July 1, into an outbreak of violence in several Christian areas of Pakistan where hundreds of homes have reportedly been destroyed by Islamic militants.
The Voice Of the Martyrs (VOM) USA told BosNewsLife the attacks happened this week in three areas around the city of Peshawar, about 172 km (107 miles) west of the capital Islamabad.
Troubles began late Tuesday, June 28, just hours after an illiterate Christian man in his 60's allegedly burned pages with Koranic verses written on them.
The organization claimed the burning incident happened when Yousaf Masih, who worked for almost two decades as a sweeper for the Pakistani military, came across a bag of "rough papers" at the office at a major's home.
Our state department whistles demurely while looking the other way.
What's wrong with letting the little hitlers, murder a few christians, as long as they are our ally in the war on terror.
We sure have come a long way from 'for us or against us.'
I'll remember this story the next time I hear an Islamic advocacy group here in the States carp and moan about the terrible bias Muslims face in America.
To Pakistan, our 'ally'
Here's the alternative Ruy: supporting anIslamic state
