Pakistani Mob Torches Christian Neighborhood After Christian Man Accused Of Insulting Prophet Muhammad
The pictures linked above really tell the story -
Hundreds of people in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore attacked a Christian neighborhood Saturday and set fire to homes after hearing accusations that a Christian man had committed blasphemy against Islam’s prophet, said a police officer.
Blasphemy is a serious crime in Pakistan that can carry the death penalty but sometimes outraged residents exact their own retribution for perceived insults of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Pakistan is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim and people of other faiths, including the nation’s small Christian community, are often viewed with suspicion.
The incident started Friday when a young Muslim man accused a Christian man of committing blasphemy by making offensive comments about the prophet, according to Multan Khan, a senior police officer in Lahore.
A large crowd from a nearby mosque went to the Christian man’s home on Friday night, and Khan said police took him into custody to try to pacify the crowd. Fearing for their safety, hundreds of Christian families fled the area overnight.

The future definitely does not look good for Israel or their enemies either. All part of a plan though. All part of a plan.
Indeed - this plan is progressing just as God, through the prophets informed us. And it will be a perfect plan overall because it is God's plan. No doubt about it.
Thankfully God knows everything and everything is in his control. Because if it wasn't we would all be lost.
By the way, thank you for the prayers. My recovery seems to be going well but kind of slow. Hopefully I never have to go through something like this again.
AMEN. Glad to hear your recovery is coming along. As an old doc used to tell me, its all about "tincture of time" heals everything:)
