Following a rumour that the Quran had been desecrated in the US, violent mob burnt a Christian Christian missionary school in north Kashmir's Tangmarg town on Sep 13.
In the Valley, where curfew was imposed for the second consecutive day in major towns on Sep 13, 14 people were killed in the fallout of the protests and several people were injured.
Violence also spreaded in Punjab's Muslim majority Malerkotla town where the property of a church was set on fire by a mob following the same rumours that the Quran has been burnt in US.
State Chief Secretary S S Kapur said, "We appeal to the people not to heed unverified reports about the alleged desecration of the Holy Quran which have only been aired by Press TV and no other television news channel in the world."
Religion of pieces
OK, who went over there and held a gun to their head and make them do that?
A friggin rumor and violence and death results.
Dang tea partiers./
I wouldn’t piece on them if they were on fire
I guess they didn’t hear Obama declare we are not a Christian nation anymore...
well at least they didn’t burn a book
Good ‘un.
Peace on them to infinity.
Ironic, eh, that a pastor guy threatens to exercise his right to burn a book; an iMan threatens a worldwide explosion; and the president of the United States comes to the defense of . . .
Religion of Perpetual Outrage

“We don’t wanna make ‘em mad...”
HUH? They’re aways mad.

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
Sort’ve reminds me of the Watts riots. Folks unhappy with their lot and perceived racism burn down their own homes and tear up their neighborhoods. We have to send in law enforcement to clean up the poop. I guess it IS job security, but seems so pointless. Now young Christians have no where to go to school and the nuts are still roaming free. So freakin’ special. I say send the tab to Jones. Let him pay for the clean-up.
This is not the pastor’s fault. This is the fault of a sick cult that has a tradition of violence.
It’s sad that people can be so easily manipulated, but it infuriates me that the fault is being laid in the wrong place.
Fact is he failed to reform anything ~ his mission was a total failure, and the superstitions peculiar to the people now calling themselves Moslem continue unabated.
Best idea is to figure out how to arm Christians to the teeth in those places so they can protect themselves.
A real man would be breaking the arms of the Pak Prime Minister over this deal.
