Religious Tensions Escalate in Pakistan as Mob Targets Churches
Thousands of Muslims in Jaranwala, Pakistan, set fire to churches and vandalized Christian homes over claims of Quran desecration. Police have detained over 100 protestors and filed a case against two local Christians for violating the blasphemy law. No deaths have been reported, but the situation remains tense. Blasphemy accusations in Pakistan often lead to widespread violence, and the country's society has experienced increased fragmentation and violence towards minority religious groups. The mob involved in the recent incident was reportedly from an Islamist political party, but the party denies involvement. The Christian community is calling for justice and action to ensure their safety in their own homeland.
