 NOWSHERA: An angry mob torched a Hindu temple after a Christian allegedly desecrated the Quran in Cantonment Police Stationâs jurisdiction, a police official said on Wednesday.
| A Christian desecrates their idol and they go desecrate some Hindoos? That makes sense. Not a lot of sense, but sense. In an Islamic kind of way, of course... |
| Most likely it was the closest place of infidel worship |
| The guy in the pic looks like Luciano hitting a 'high C' |
The NWFP Assembly also highlighted the incident when MPA Ghur Saran Lal, representing the Hindu minority, voiced concern over the attack on the temple while condemning the Quranâs alleged desecration. Lal told Daily Times that 60-year-old Yousaf Masih was charged with desecrating the Quran.
"And what the hell did that have to do with us? Riddle me that, hah? Hah?"
"Arrrr! Yer all infidels!" |
He said NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani had ordered a judicial inquiry into the incident and also for repairs to the damaged temple. âA Hindu temple was attacked and several rooms were burnt,â the police official told Daily Times.
| I'd wager the towels and silverware were stolen, too. What do you want to bet there were more valuables to be found in the Hindu temple than in the Christian church? |
âWe have charged a Christian for desecrating the Quran under the relevant law,â he added.
| Which means he's toast, of course... |
Provincial Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Malik Zafar Azam told the House that a âChristian janitorâ was arrested for desecrating the Quran and police also arrested eight people for attacking the Hindu temple. Lal told the House that the Hindu community felt threatened after the attack and demanded protection for Hindus.
| Right. In NWFP. That'll happen. Sure. |
Malik Azam said, âA thorough investigation was ordered into the incident and the attackers would be punished.â A police statement issued late on Wednesday said NWFP Inspector General of Police Muhammad Rifat Pasha suspended a Nowshera DSO and SHO for failing to protect the Hindu temple. |
