Pakistan: Christian attacked by Muslim mob
over claims of Qur’an desecration dies
As we have seen in so many other cases, the mere allegation was enough to incite the mob to violence. Due process? A fair trial? Come on, man! Don’t be “Islamophobic.”
Pakistan: Christian man attacked by mob in Punjab province
over allegations of Quran desecration dies
India TV, June 3, 2024:
Lahore: An elderly Christian man, who was viciously attacked by a mob over blasphemy allegations in Pakistan’s Punjab province that left him critically injured, has succumbed to his injuries, according to police on Monday. The incident shows once again the ugly side of Pakistan’s anti-blasphemy laws, where radical Islamists often take the law in their own hands and lynch people accused of blasphemic acts.
An enraged mob led by radical Islamist Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) activists on May 25 attacked some Christian community members in Mujahid Colony in the Sargodha district of Punjab, some 200 km from Lahore, injuring two Christians and 10 policemen. The mob also ransacked the property belonging to the Christians.
A heavy contingent of police had to deployed in the area to bring the situation under control as the mob had surrounded some houses (of Christians) over the allegations of the desecration of the Quran. Another police officer told PTI that on Saturday morning some youth in Mujahid Colony alleged that an elderly Christian man Nazir Gill Masih, alias Lazar Masih, desecrated the Quran.
Factory set ablaze by angry mob
“Following their allegations, a mob led by the TLP activists marched towards the residence and a factory of Nazir. They set ablaze his shoe factory and his house. They also ransacked a few shops owned by Christians. Before police could reach the spot, the mob lynched and thrashed Nazir,” he said. Nazir was hospitalised in a critical condition and the other Christian man also suffered injuries.
Police said the mob also torched Nazir, but the man was saved by the timely arrival of a heavy contingent of police rescued Masih, which rescued other members of the Christian community. The FIR says that some pages of the holy Quran were reportedly found outside the shoe factory, instigating the locals.
Masih, who was receiving treatment at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Sargodha died on Sunday, police said. His nephew, Irfan Gill Masih, also confirmed the death. Gill said his uncle had returned from Dubai after four years, and was falsely accused of Quran desecration. He said the Christian families saved their lives by locking themselves inside their houses when the mob marched towards them….
The Blasphemy laws and their misuse reveals devout Islam's hatred for Christians, which reveals the source of their religion. Islamic hysteria is another indication of the spiritual power that drives them.
The Mujahid Colony must have resembled Germany in Kristallnacht. It's not surprising since Islam is the new NAZI.
