"ISLAMABAD — Days of rioting between Christians and Muslims in eastern Pakistan following allegations that a Quran was defiled escalated Saturday, leaving six Christians dead, including a child, authorities said.

Members of a banned Muslim organization began torching Christian homes in the Punjabi city of Gorja on Thursday after accusing them of desecrating pages from Islam's holy book, Federal Minister for Minorities Shahbaz Bhatti said.

"There is no truth in the allegation," he told The Associated Press, adding that he had himself visited Gojra on Friday and asked police to provide protection to Christians who were facing threats.

He accused the police of ignoring his instructions and said hundreds of radical Muslims on Saturday burned more Christians homes and killed six, including four women and a child."

What kind of vermin burn Christian Churches?

You say, well this is something you just expect in Pakistan.

Wonder who burned Sarah Palin’s Church in Alaska. If I remember correctly, Alaska is still part of the U.S.

Does not fit?? Think about it.

“6 Pakistani Christians die in riots with Muslims”
the headline carefully avoids saying who killed the Christians. Of course, any sane person immediately knows.

Imagine if a headline had said “6 salmon die in encounter with sharks.” Any sane person would know that the sharks ate the salmon.

In the same way, any sane person reading the headline knows who killed who, and has nothing but scorn for the person who wrote the headline while trying to protect fanatical headchoppers.
