Muslims set Bible ablaze

The burning of a Bible and other religious texts by four Muslim men in the Tibba Shomali area of Multan district in Pakistan has prompted more than 1,500 Christians to stage a protest.

Four men were caught Tuesday evening while burning the Bible, and other Christian booklets, reports the Pakistan-based Daily Times.

Along with the burning incident, five churches have been attacked in Pakistan within two months, challenging the recent claim by government official Raja Basharat, who contends there is complete harmony between Muslims and Christians in Punjab province.
