The death toll from the September 13 anti-Christian rampage in Kashmir has reached 19, according to Vatican Radio. Following false reports that a Florida Protestant minister had proceeded with his plans to burn the Quran, Muslim protestors bombed a Catholic school and attacked two Protestant schools. The bishops of India had condemned the planned Quran burning.
We have suffered no damages to Catholic churches; only Good Shepherd School in Pulwama was hit on the outer walls, by incendiary bombs, but the building is intact, said Bishop Celestine Elampassery of Jammu and Srinagar. We feel helpless and powerless in the face of this wave of senseless violence. We have nothing against the Muslims whom we respect as brothers. We have repeated this several times. However, a violent minority is fueling the tension.
Bishop Elampassery added that there are policemen everywhere, wherever there are churches and schools, to protect Christian sites. Police are threatening to shoot anyone in the area who violates the curfew imposed in the violences wake.
Only 25,000 of the area's 10 million inhabitants are Christians; 15,000 of them are Catholics.

Yup, sounds like it's perfectly proportional to me...

What? Did someone burn a Koran?
Sounds like Christians should start shooting back. The Catholic church in particular needs to start arming themselves for war. I’d put a billion Catholics against a billion muslims any day of the week.
The religion of peace in full swing.
Somebody is gonna have to take the bully down.
Mohammed was an extortionist and a blackmailer. His proselytes are just following his example.
Mohammed was also a rapist, a pedophile, a polygamist, a murderer, a kidnapper, a slave-trader, an executioner, a torturer, a truce-breaker, a pirate, a liar, a thief, a Jew-hater, a tyrant, a practitioner of unspeakable cruelty, and all-around genocidal, homicidal savage.
His truest disciples will express the same traits.
It would be nice is someone bothered to post on the continuining cleansing of hundreds of thousands of Christians by our U.S. tax supported “democrtic” ally, the Shi’ite government of Iraq. I wonder why this never happens.
You are exactly correct.
Unfortunately there is little chance of a pope calling for a Crusade against the murdering Moslem savages.


The muzzies will use any excuse to burn, pillage and rape, and the west is completely dhimmified by this cult.
Oh, then why did Pope Benedict XVI cause that firestorm a few years back?
Cite please.
I must have missed him declaring Islam a false religion, and calling on Christians everywhere to expel the savage Mohammedan invaders from wherever they squat.
