From the Beeb: "At least 10 churches, some hotels, more than 20 shops and over 10 vehicles were burned by the protesters," one resident told Reuters news agency by telephone. Another resident said "most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the rioters", according to the Associated Press news agency.
From related coverage re Pakistan rioting, "Is this the image of ourselves that we want to paint for the outside world?" Punjab Chief Minister Pervez Ellahi asked of the riots in Lahore. "Are we trying to convince the West that Muslims are indeed violent people?"
Pervez, it certainly seems like it.
This is a follow up to my original post about the polemic caused by the Mohammed cartoons, and my opinion of it.
This proves that it has nothing to do with cartoons anymore.
YanıtlaSilWas it ever really about the cartoons?
YanıtlaSilMost Muslims can see the irony I'm sure, its just the militants looking for a excuse to further their cause.
Lucy..."Most Muslims"...
YanıtlaSilKatey...Thousands of others"...
Lucy, Katey...there are MILLIONS of others...but it's like the "Christian" UK...they want to get on with their lives...a voice mUST be heard... I just CANNOT understand why the moderate Muslim voice (and there is one!) cannot be heard...WHY!!!!
