Burned, looted home in Korian village (Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement)
Islamic extremists have torched 50 homes and a church, murdering at least 14 Christians in Pakistan following allegations of "blasphemy" of the Quran.
According to Compass Direct News, the incident took place Saturday in Gojra, Pakistan. The death toll included women, children and other burn victims who were unable to reach hospitals for proper medical care.
A report from the Centre for Legal Aid Assistance and Settlement, or CLAAS, revealed the assault happened during a protest by thousands of Muslim Islamists, including members of banned militant groups. Six more casualties were reported after protesters fired weapons at police and officers shot back.
According to Compass Direct News, more than 500 Islamic extremists looted and set fire to another 60 homes in response to the same rumor of desecration of the Quran only two days earlier in the village of Korian
