against attack of hundreds of Muslim rioters on peaceful Christian women, elders and children of village Bahmani Wala village in district Kasur of Punjab on June 30, 2009. The Muslim cleric named Qari Lateef instigated attack with announcements from village Mosque after one petty dispute between one Christian farmer and Muslim landlord. The Muslims accused Christians of blasphemy and gathered in Mosque numbering 700 according to Pakistan Christian Post PCP sources. The Muslim mob armed with automatic fire weapons, sticks and daggers ran toward Christian homes situated on side of village. The majority of Christians tried to ran to nearby fields for hiding to safe their lives and few ran towards Saddar Police Station Kasur to seek police help. The Muslim mob chanting slogans “ Allha-Hu-Akbar” ‘ Kill infidels” entered in Christian residential area and started setting homes of Christians to fire. The Muslim rioters took away valuable from homes even the electric reading meters. They inured 8 women and 12 men who failed to flee from scene.
