Almost 100 houses were burned in a mob attack on a Christian community at the Badami Bagh area in Lahore.
The attack was supposedly retaliation against a member of the community for having made blasphemous remarks.
During the attack, members of the police including the SHO of the area was also injured when the mob threw stones at them.
The mob comprising of almost 3000 members attacked the Joseph colony on Noor road. The attack was led by Shafiq Ahmed against the supposed blasphemer Savan.
Several houses besides that of Savan were attacked and almost 150 Christian families were forced to flee the area.
Savan is currently under arrest and has been moved to an undisclosed location.

  1. To me as a muslim, I feel the mob is the one who should be charged for blasphemy.These illiterate extremists are the Worst kind of human beings on this planet!!!

  2. If Shafiq Ahmed and those who followed him are no better than the Taliban or others who could be called terrorists..acts like this are anti Islamic..it goes against everything Islam stands for and against everything what it means to be a Muslim…Our beloved prophet was ridiculed, had trash thrown on him, got beaten, called names, chased and hunted..but he never as much had a thought of revenge or would commit a crime against someone who called him a bad name or treated him badly..Behavior like this is a great dishonor and shameful act to our beloved prophet..

  3. Hang this Shafiq Ahmed in public and arrest and prosecute all that are involved.

    Not going to happen, though

  4. The government should allow the minorities like Christians,Hindus,Ahamadiyas,Parsis,Shias and others to emigrate with dignity and not subject them to such humiliation and danger.Once the minorities are gone then then these extremists can live happily.One thing is certain.the law will not be eliminated.

    • these are our own people…. ths is their own land…. the only problem is the dirty filthy politicians….who have their bloody interests in these things… frst the filthy pppl tried to create chaos and conflicts by attacking our shias and when they found tht it wasnt working they have come up with this…. too sad…. my heart is crying…. We just want to get rid of these bloody fanatics.

    • this is not the solution for that issue, Problem is the majority of our population is uneducated . today they r fighting with the Christians tomorrow it will be shias or wahabi ,or bareliwi, or sum other group,
      as long as wedon't hav education, these probles will occur and no 1 is able to stop it

  5. Very Sad news…WE strongly Condemn this brutal act against Christian community…We appeal from High Authorities to take strong action against this incident ….Shaukat, Human Rights Activist from Multan…

  6. THIS IS THE PERFECT THING THAT MR SHAFIQUE AHMED AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE DOING
    BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS ARE GUILTY
    THE SUPPORTED PAKISTAN AND STARTED LIVING IN PAKISTAN AND BELIEVED THAT THIS IS A PLACE OF PEACE
    THIS IS THE BEST REWARD THAT THEY CAN GET
    THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS
    THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS SINCE PAKISTAN IS MADE
    THANKS TO ALL THE MUSLIMS FOR SPREADING THE MESSAGE OF PEACE IN PAKISTAN AND ALL OVER THE WORLD
    LIKE WE SAW IN CASE OF THE SMALL GIRL FROM RAWALPINDI WHO WAS CLAIMED TO BE A BLASPHEMOUS AND AFTER WARDS IT CAME TO KNOWLEDGE THAT SHE HASNT BURN THE PAGES OF QURAN BUT INFACT IT WAS THE IMAAM OF THE MOSQUE WHO ADDED THE BURNT PAGES TO THE ASH TO PROOVE THAT THE SMALL GIRL WAS ACCUSED
    SO I STILL BELIEVE THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE
    AND HOPE YOU ALSO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO OTHER RELIGION PEACEFUL THAT ISLAM ON THIS EARTH

    • si, claro se ve y se nota que es muy pacifico el Islam, si vas en contra de lo que creen que es la verdad (su verdad) se creen con el derecho de matar a quienes no comulguen con ellos ¿dónde está la paz? ¿dónde la justicia? ¿dónde el derecho? ¿dónde su dios? ante los ojos de todo el mundo el abuso, el fanatismo, la prepotencia no son parte de un fin espiritual. Dios el ALTÍSIMO es por sobre todas las cosas, no así el hombre, para muestra un botón que decepcionante si Dios fuera así.

    • re: Maria;

      What a mean, mean response! Typical!

      Islam..?? Peaceful?? Yeeeaaaah.. right !

      YOUR TAQIYYA !!!

  7. ye sab christians k sath hi kyun karte hain?
    kya christians ko pakistan mein rehne ka koi haq nai kya pakistan unka mulak nai hai?

    • no man sirf christians k saath nahee hota balkay ye ganday log hr uss jagah per hamay aapas mein larranay ki koshish krtey hain jahan per ye smjhein k hamay tabah kr sktey hain…. I wish these kameenay pppl aisee saza payen k na marein na ji sakain…..

  8. is pakistan has become like an inferno(hell)?these blood thirsty terrorists so called muslims must be hanged publically.I m muslim nd my heart is burning because of this worst type of incident aginst humanity.this is not islam these r not the teachings of prophet. shafiq and his stone age minded companions are actually blasphemous.
    i condole my christian brothers.they are the victims of evil customes of cruel system.islam urges to protect them.

  9. The LORD JESUS said i"f they hated me they will hate you also", if they persecuted me they will persecute you also, All I can say is for anyone that has an ear JESUS LOVES YOU he wants to save you if you dont know HIM, HE is the one and only way, truth and LIFE……………For those that attacked the christians I pray for God's revelation to be released unto them so that their eyes are open and they may know Him. But for Christians remember what JESUS said when crucified "FATHER PLEASE FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING"

    • I am Muslim. I believe on th preaching of Jesus on humanity. But the persons involved in this incident are not ignorent of what they are doing and why they are doing. These are political motivated people and creating misdeed among the Pakistanis.

    • Thanks to you and all those who sympathize with my Christian brethren. It is so good to see. Muslims have freedom in the West. Is it unfair for Christians to have freedom in preponderantly Muslim nations? God knows what is in all hearts, despite their group. He will judge accordingly. " By their fruits shall ye judge them".

    • Dear Emmanuel,
      As per Quran you are our most closer People of book to muslims. However what u are referring from bible as those "who hate" jesus and will hate you, are not us muslims… they are the ones who executed him as per your book … try to understand the big game behind the incident … try to see the invisible agenda of them who are making sunni kill shia today and someone kill sunni… understand please, they just want CHAOS and INSTABILITY In our country …. these arent muslims who did it, no matter even if they call themselves they are … and surely they do not know what they are doing and who is making them do this …. we are equally sad for this act of brutality and injustice…. may we all live happily and peacefully AMEEN

  10. The only time mohamid was ridiculed was by his own as they knew him to be filled with lies….at least till he rounded up fellows to invade with..convert or be killed, those who lived learned of the random brutality, slave status. This does not surprise me in the least but I do hate the brutality of this satanic madman’s cult that has gone on to too long. This is what happens when people finally snap when following crazy. Mohamid

    • yes , this is the time of second coming of christ.. be strong in lord, and worship only the lord our god

  11. I wonder now who can say that Islam is a religion of peace and forgiveness as they always claim…every day there is news of killings by Muslims whether in Africa, Asia and middle East….wonder when they will be tolerate and civilised to other faith …?

    • well everyone who kills and has killed humanity in the name of religion in the present or in the past has done the cruelty and it doesnt have something to see with the religion or the teachings of the religion…..this is the problem with the fanatics… who sometime raise their heads in one religion and other times the other… the issue is to find them and kill them….. so they dont infect the beautiful world with their negativity…. and this can be done only by fighting this evil togethher instead of blaming eachother…and eachother´s religions…. coz all religions´teachings give the message of Peace….

  12. What the mob did can not be justified on any count and they deserve exemplary punishment, and the victims provided protection and adequate compensation.

    However, you should not discredit all Muslim for the sake of some. Record of Muslims is still far better than that of some other religions. These were Christians who killed six million Jews and dropped nuclear bombs on civilians. Even in the modern day, they invaded Iraq and caused the death of nearly a million innocent million. And our prophet had a reputation for being truthful, so don’t tell lies.

  13. these action against oppressed christians is worst pic of hindus domination on muslims , and the solution is isolation as in new shap of pak. we should think about ….! it is voice of time……

  14. Is anyone in charge in Pakistan? Has that bunch of bastards in Islamabad fallen asleep at the wheel again?

  15. The way the Pakistani people are killing each other, and human beings of all faiths and sects, the country will soon be called Zeroistan ( 0000000000 ).

  16. This is gross and totally unacceptable anywhere in the world – these fanatics (muslim moulvies) needs to get themselves in their skins – the world in a small village and musllims living in other parts of world where they are in minority may face counter-reactions because of actions every now and then taken in Pakistan. Muslims in Pakisan needs to learn what their religion truly teach them.
    But who is going to teach them – the Moulvis are themselve illetrate and un-education bunch of i*d*i*o*ts……

    • y they r doing with christian families ak ki galti ki saza sab ko ku di jati hai oraton or masoom bachon ka kya kasur hai . shyd isi waja sy koi pakistan may rehna pasand nhi krta…. ku difference kia jata hai christians may muslims may sb ak he to hein unko kis galti ki saza di ja re hai k wo is pk may reh rhy hein ……….. huh…… goverment may agr inki help na ki or is tamashy ko control na kia to lanat hai ……..

      • yes sanya i agree with you, I live overseas & Pakistan hold such a bad reputation abroad its a shame, there are other Muslim countries as well they don't behave in this brutal cruel manner, i think the Pak Govt shod step in n do something about it.

        • yeah its reaally dstrbing….. its a shame for all of us…..its mournful… the ppl of our country are sufffering……. I am upset and i know we r all….. what is happening to our country… when will we have the leaders who will take us out of this worst situation and let us live and walk in the world proudly

    • This is not Islam’s teachings to attack innocent minority’s home, children and women.

      we strongly condemn this Act!

  17. We have become the most ''SHAMELESS NATION'' challenging the authority of the Onmipotent Creator. By abusing HIS creation known as Humanity. Where is the so called ''Guardians of the holy cities'' to harness their hyenas and vultures on whose petro-dollars they are fed! A pair of burnt teeth buried at the foot of faisal mosque must be clattering as his Wahabi Goons have been going beserk.

  18. Totally illiterate n rediculos………this black law of 295 series ha to be finished…….if christians would have be having this law then muslims would have no longer existence from a long time.But christians are taught to love everyone. Only god will revenge them. Its true.

  19. sad sad sad
    this is not what Islam teaches us

    this cannot be excused or condoned under any circumstances.
    all the houses should be reconstructed with govt money and people compensated for their loss

  20. May Allah help my Ummah ….

    It is very painful…. And I don't have a clue why is this happening!

    Prayers for the oppressed and condemn the oppressors…

    May Allah forgive us! Ameen

    • I seek Allah 's mercy for Ummat e muslimah….

      Can't comprehend this …
      The Holy Prophet said to help the oppressors, and Sahaba asked how?

      He (pbuh) replied, ' by stopping oppressors from oppressing!'

      Don't know who does all this when awaaam e Pakistan seems to condemn this?

      Much Prayers for my Nation and Pakistan! May Allah show His mercy and forgiveness to us all……Ameen

  21. My beloved brother and sisters! behold and may God almighty bless you alot. I know You have really big reward in Heaven as Holy Bible says,
    “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me”. Matthew 5:11
    We all know Christianity, the whole world know the message of Christianity. We don’t need to clarify ourselves about the teachings of Bible.
    Peace in Jesus Almight Name. Amen

  22. All the people involved in this act are bastards.
    i Pray God to give them brain to think many times before doing this type of things to others,
    they will get the reward for whatever they have done.
    Not by the people suffering but the our savoir JESUS CHRIST

  23. Quran (8:39) – "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah" Some translations interpret "fitna" as "persecution", but the traditional understanding of this word is not supported by the historical context The Meccans were simply refusing Muhammad access to their city during Haj. Other Muslims were allowed to travel there – just not as an armed group, since Muhammad had declared war on Mecca prior to his eviction. The Meccans were also acting in defense of their religion, since it was Muhammad's intention to destroy their idols and establish Islam by force (which he later did). Hence the critical part of this verse is to fight until "religion is only for Allah", meaning that the true justification of violence was the unbelief of the opposition. According to the Sira (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 324) Muhammad further explains that "Allah must have no rivals."
    Islams history was to use violence to spread, why are we surprised when that pattern continues?

  24. what is the root cause of 100 houses were burned in a mob attack on a Christian community ?? abbas town attack?? bom blast ??strikes ? why depatments are helpless to take any action ! it means we are inviting some thing ….

  25. stop it please, there is no God, no Allah, who want’s kill people to people like that, if God or Allah really want to do that, then i am not going to worship or praise God or Allah, think about it

  26. Aaha.. here comes my my Allah ke Bande again…..

    Whenever we guys feel short of various articles of daily use, we always find a culprit of blasphemy easily. And by grace of our Allah’, we always find all the articles of our daily use in Kafir’s homes easily. See how easily we looted 150 Kafir homes and our great police(Allah’s Army) registered a case of blasphemy against Kafir, so that no-one could ever complain if we have taken some articles from Kafir’s homes. These are the tactics our PBUH taught us 1400 years ago. But, I don’t understand one thing how these Kafirs become prosporous again, while we always remain like beggars and looters as we were 1400 years ago. Please let me know anything is written about it in holy book or hadiith.

    • You have answered your own question…if you think that all the answers are in a book written 1400 years ago that explains why you have not progressed in 14 centuries while other have…your problem is obvious and yet you refuse the solution…wake up..Islam is not a religion of peace..

  27. There is only violence, blood, and terror in islam. There is no peace in islam. Islam has gone crazy all over the world. Islam is against the welfare of the Human Race. More shame today on islam. Islam is worse than nazism. Nazis were mad by trying to control the world so is Islam mad by trying to control the world. These are Pakistani Islamic Terrorists. If there is "Rule of Law" in Pakistan, then these islamic terrorist mobs all belong in jail for committing mahem in the name of mohamed. They Shame Mohamed and Shame the Human race.

  28. Quran (3:151) – "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').

  29. Quran (4:74) – "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."

  30. BIBLE = Matthew 5:44 But I (Jesus ) tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

  31. Soooo sad……when I see the Muslims soaring to protect these attacked Christians I feel sooo good..,,I'm a Christian …..Mohammed in ur texts has also asked u to read the scriptures of the people of book :)…..our bible says to love your enemies …..if I can love my enemy then I can love the whole world…..lets settle our differences……if u believe in Jesus atleast as your prophet ….then these wer his words and he says his words are words directly from the mouth of god…..1 Corinthians 13:1-13 – Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails…….let pak be united with this kinda love……my love to you all

  32. This is unacceptabale what is going on in Pakistan with Christian and other minorites. WHERE IS WESTERN MEDIA? CNN, CBC,BBC and OTHERS! And what the new government of Nawaz Sharif is doing to protect minorities? NOTHING, Shame on a government where its minorities are slatered and their houses are burned….Zardari did nothing to protect minorities and Sharif' is showing now signs of taking any action either. May Allah protect Pakistyan and its minorities, particulalrly, Christian minority in Pakistan.
