In a recent deadly incident, Muslims set fire to a total of 21 churches and 40 Christian homes on accusations of Qur’an desecration by two Christian men.
Right before the massive anti-Christian rampage, Pakistan had increased its already harsh punishments for blasphemy, which served to further endorse the persecution of Christians, who are the main targets of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. Such laws ensure that Christians remain an inferior class in Pakistani society. Whenever a Muslim accuses a Christian of blasphemy, the accused is persecuted by the state and hunted down by mobs. Many of the accusations are false and are merely acts of vengeance in disputes. As it turns out, in the latest round of extreme mob violence and rioting, Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) “has been charged with inciting destructive riots in Pakistan after two Christian brothers were falsely accused of blasphemy.”
A cleric stated that it is “better to die if you don’t care about Islam.” Other clerics “shouted inflammatory slogans from Mosque loudspeakers.”
Whenever Muslims commit the worst human rights abuses and murder against Christians and other minorities in the name of Islam, it is quickly forgotten by the world, as will likely be the case in this incident.
“Outlawed Muslim group accused of pumping violence against Pakistani Christians,” by Diana Chandler, Baptist Press, August 21, 2023:
JARANWALA, Pakistan (BP) – An outlawed extremist Muslim group has been charged with inciting destructive riots in Pakistan after two Christian brothers were falsely accused of blasphemy there.
Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) clerics shouted inflammatory slogans from Mosque loudspeakers after the brothers were accused of defacing a Quran, Reuters reported Aug. 21, citing police and community members as sources.
Rioters burned 20 churches, vandalized 80 homes, burned belongings and desecrated a Christian cemetery, many news outlets reported. No deaths were reported.
“Better to die if you don’t care about Islam,” police accused one cleric of saying, global news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) said Aug. 19.
“That cleric should have understood that when you gather people in such a charged environment … in a country in which people were already very sensitive about (blasphemy) it is like adding fuel to fire,” AFP quoted police….

“Blasphemy” is a ridiculous charge to make against anyone in the 21st century.
Some ‘holy man’ most likely came up with it.In islam it could be caused by absolutely anything you want anything…. a leaf falls on a koran,the delicious vapor of an illicit bacon sandwich.a cartoon of mo.
“holy men” love to make up rules they think have to do with their god..
{Sharia law,the talmud,the noahide laws are entierely man made inventions by ‘holy men’.
The Torah/Pentateuch which even muslims accept as true really does come from God}
The Biblical Rules{2 chief commandments,Exodus 20 Laws,Golden Rule] written in the Torah constitute the Laws of Moses which Jesus Christ confirms and explains as follows:
The Whole of the Law=the 2 chief Commandments Matthew 22 v 40
The Meaning of the Law=the Golden Rule Matthew 7 v 12
the koran VIOLATES ALL the Laws of Moses in the Torah.
And allah claims tp be the source of the Torah!

Hey its ok, it was anti-christian, therefore not an issue. I wonder what would happen if Christians burned 20 Mosque and destroyed islamic’s homes? That day is probably coming, you can only poke the BEAR so many times before he awakens. Wake up world, Islam is coming for you.
