Attacks on unarmed Christians at Gojra, Pakistan


It is a report of Pakistan Christian Post about a very sad and bad incident which shocked all the Christians and forced to think that what is the future of minorities in our homeland. 
9 Christian killed, 100 homes looted , 50 homes burnt by Muslim protestors in Gojra
Pakistan: It was an other day of mourning for Christians when Muslim mob attacked at Christian Town and gunned down 9 Christian women, children and men and burnt down 50 homes in Gojra.
All this happened from an occasion of a marriage near “Korrian” a small village beside Gojra. In Pakistan is almost fourth biggest incident which badly affected the moral of Christians and tortured them physically as well as morally. Christians are very tensed and frustrated as nobody knows what is going to be happening even tomorrow. Law and order are still not very clear about 295-C which is infact a hanging sword on the necks of Christians. On behalf of CRM, we strongly condemn this incident and pray to God that he may keep us in his safe custody and request the higher authorities to take an initiative to provide preventive measures for minorities as the basic responsibility of the state.

The march of Muslims started from Railway Station Gojra at 12:00 noon today was attended by thousands of local and from near by villages marched towards Christian Town. The Christian Town Gojra is residence of two thousand Christian families who settled here over fifty years.

When Muslim marchers approached Christian Town, some two hundred Muslims hiding their faces with traditional Islamic scarf opened fire on Christian houses. The Christian fled from home but who trapped were executed by face covered Muslims with automatic firearms. The Muslim attacker looted 100 homes and set on fire more than fifty Christian houses. These Militants used a particular type of chemical which is hard to extinguish to burn Christian homes This chemical was used first in the village of “Shanti Nagar” which was set on fire in February 1997. Later this chemical was used in “Sangla Hill Town” and recently used to burn 60 homes of village Korian on night of July 30, 2009.
