‘100’ Christian houses torched in Lahore over ‘blasphemy’

By Mirza Hassan Mar 9th, 2013 ( 8 Comments )

Lahore: An angry mob of reportedly more than 3,000 people attacked and burnt almost 100 houses of the Christian community mob on Saturday in Badami Bagh area of Lahore over an alleged blasphemy case.

The mob pelted police officials with stones and injured many including SSP Operations Suhail Sukhera and the SHO of Badami Bagh.

The residents belonging to the minority community, including women and children, fled their homes to avoid being attacked.

Police have arrested the accused of blasphemy, Savan Masih alias Bubby, and shifted him to an undisclosed location after Imran, a local barber, accused him of blasphemy.

The police registered an FIR No 112/13 under Section 295-C against the accused.

Badami Bagh SHO Hafiz Abdul Majid told a local newspaper that preliminary investigations showed that Imran had falsely accused Savan of blasphemy.

Savan’s father Chandar Masih also denied that his son had committed blasphemy saying they held the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in high esteem.

Am shocked and appalled by this article! Surely the issue is not whether or not blasphemy was committed. Surely the issue is 3000 maniacal murders torching the homes of their fellow man! No words or actions of any man, no matter how personally offensive can justify these actions, there is no law or right by which such atrocities are permitted.

Remember that while Christians are being persecuted now they have been persecuted to some extent since Jesus’ ascension into Heaven — often even by other Christians. Keep in mind 1 Thessalonians 5:2, as well as the words of Jesus in the Gospels:

“For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.”

Do not preach of the end of days but rather preach the Word.

Jesus Christ prophesized that Christians will be persecuted in the End-Times by people of this world. This persecution is a clear sign that return of our Savior and Lord is at Hand! In the midst of this cry every Christian is advised to wait for heavenly Depature from this evil world. The END IS NEAR! THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT IS NEAR!
