Two local young Muslims going for Friday prayers to their mosque in Pakistan's Lahore city beat up and set fire to a 14-year-old Christian boy after stopping him and asking his religious affiliation, according to a Christian group.
The victim, identified only as Nuaman, is being treated at Meo Hospital in Lahore in Punjab province, according to a Christian group, The Voice Society, in Pakistan. He has burns covering more than 55 percent of his body.
The Christian boy was coming from a tailor's shop when he was attacked. It was time for Muslim prayers on Friday when the incident happened.
Two Muslims, who have not been identified, stopped him and asked what his religion was.
"I told them that I am Christian. They started beating me, when I tried running, both boys started following me through the street and then they threw Kerosene on me and burnt me," Nuaman was quoted as saying. "I kept on running when a heap of sand came my way, I lied down on the sand [A] few people from the community [extinguished] fire by putting sand on me. I became unconscious, and they called 1122 Emergency medical helpline and called [for] an ambulance."
Nuaman, who lives with his paternal uncle, said he does not know the attackers but can identify them with their faces.
The boy's father died when he was 4, and his mother remarried.
The attack could be a reaction to a recent incident of lynching by some Christians of two suspected terrorists following a terror attack on a church in the same city, the group said.
Two suicide blasts hit the Christ Church and Catholic Church of Youhanabad Christian Colony in Lahore on March 15, killing 17 people. A Pakistani Taliban splinter group claimed responsibility for the attack, which left another 80 people injured.
Thousands of Christians rioted on the streets of Lahore following the attack, demanding more protection from the government. Reports said that two suspected terrorists were beaten to death and burned during the riots. The men were apparently in custody and were being shifted to a vehicle when the protesters got to them, beat them severely, tied them with a rope and set them on fire.
After the lynching incident, general hatred against the Christian minority has increased, the group believes.
This is not going to go away on its own. Engage.
Interesting.
Yet Obama is more worried about Christians not showing enough love.
That’s the only way to stop it.
Things never change....
It's a shame he couldn't answer "Smith and Wesson" in response to the question about his religious affiliation. Even if it's not truthful, it's certainly the most helpful possible answer when a psychotic thug asks your religion. This is why we need the Second Amendment and why preventing any infringement on our right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental responsibility.
“Sometimes when I listen to less than loving expression from Christians...”
ISLAM THE RELIGION WITH A HEART
HUNDREDS OF THEM BEATING
OUTSIDE A HUMAN'S CHEST...
It is interesting by contrast, that none of us cares what color this kid is. We offer up verbal support because what happened to him is wrong.
We offer up no bias regarding him.
We offer up plenty for the idiots who attacked him.
They did so based on prejudice, and no Lefty in the U. S. will acknowledge it.
I guarantee that fairy boy will not mention this at all, but if this was reversed he would have.
Hey media and you dumb as voters going to wake the hell up and understand your messiah cares nothing about this country, it’s founding, or protecti9ng certain religious groups. How many are going to die, ho many kids will be hurt and killed because you fail to wake up to what your messiah is?
Russia and others in the mean time are trying to get more protections for Christians in the world and this white house is not interested.
Just said the same in post 11.
These idiot voters and the media will not wake up and yet there is all the evidence there for them regardless if the media keeps protecting him.
obama’s fundamental transformation of the USA is well along, so now it’s time to turn his attention to fundamentally transforming the world.
Good one Manc.
I have this theory about situational dynamics.
It goes something like this. You don’t have to get your guy in, if the other side will do nothing or adopt at least some of your policies.
This way the other side doesn’t advance it’s cause. It will either remain stagnant or drift your way.
This is what our media does. A good media is thwarted by a media that does nothing or moves always Left.
I think these godless moslems are going to get theirs.
I’m getting so sick of this ISIS $hit. It makes you wonder why the ISIS capital hasn’t been nuked yet (well hell we know why). Also so tired of the beheadings, rapings, burnings, etc...that they are committing against Christians and the destruction of holy Christian monuments and churches to rid the world of Christianity gor heir new version of Hell on earth...
Well, something’s going to have to give. Either everyone else surrenders or you’re right. A long overdue payback is going to take place and the pendulum will swing far in the other direction.

This is a Christian Nation. (81%) God and Jesus must be very ashamed of us now.
