Christians in Pakistan once again are attacked by Muslim mob on very small issue which they make the matter of disrespect of Islam and its prestige.

Today, the mob attacked with iron rods, fire arms, pistols and guns round 2 pm and start looting, breaking shops and homes. In the span of two hours all shops and many homes were damaged badly, while police did not intervene to stop the mob. The mob burnt the 7 vehicles of the Christians and left 12 people injured when they open fire on Christians. Later on they attacked on the Church in the colony and stoned the church and they broke the chairs, desks and shred the Holy Bibles and Hymn books.
The dispute stared on Tuesday evening when the two Christian boys were listening religious hymns on their Motorcycle Rickshaw. When the approach near a mosque then a cleric and few men came out from mosque and stop them to play hymns. The boys stop the hymns at the moment and start playing crossing the mosque after the adequate distance from Mosque. But the cleric said they have disrespected the Islam and they reached to Fracisabad rickshaw stop and beaten the boys badly.
