Night of 30th July turned out hour of catastrophe for the innocent Christian children, men and women when a gang of Muslim Extremists attacked their homes wildly. The sight of 56 Christian houses burning in unison in Village No. 362 GB Koriyan, which is situated near city Gojra of District Toba Tek Singh, gave a terrible sight.
The Muslims’ mob lying on the road blocked Faisalabad-Gojra road some miles away from the village to halt any aid reaching the suffering humans inside the village.
There was a marriage ceremony of a Christian in village Koriyan on Sunday where large gathering of Children, Women and Men of relatives were present for celebration.
The Muslim to take revenge for a personal conflict accused one boy in home of marriage ceremony that he has burnt down the pages of Holy Koran. The elders of Christians and Muslims in village met to resolve the matter on clarification of Christian youth that he has not burnt pages of Koran.
On night of July 30, 2009, at 9:00 PM the Muslims of Village Korian announced on loudspeakers of mosque to gather and teach lesson to infidel Christians who are protecting accused of blasphemy on burning holy pages of Koran. The nearby villages also made same announcements from mosque and Muslims gathered before homes of Christians in large numbers.
“Allha Oh Akbar” “Kill infidels” and Muslim mob started setting on fire homes of Christians. As it was night the Christian Children, Women and Men with fear locked their doors to hide inside.. Children, Women and Men are also burnet to death inside homes.
It is fifth incident of burning homes of Christian in Pakistan one of which is when Muslim mob on accusation of blasphemy attacked village Bahamin Wala in district Kasur on July 1, 2009.
There is prevalent fright among Christians of Pakistan on safety and security of life from attacks of extremist Muslims and misuse of blasphemy laws.
Matthew 5:11 “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.”
Please… pray for the wellbeing of Christians of Pakistan. Please… pray for the Muslims so that the Lord may give them a kind heart and peace of mind. Please… pray for the rehabilitation of the victims. Please… pray so that they could build their homes again. Please… pray for patience for them.
Thank you for your prayers.
Let God be magnified!

I have researched on Bahmani Wala accident. I have met with many persons and also gathered first hand information. The Bahmani Wala accident was propagated 100 times more than its intensity. Many articles of use were broken by Christian themselves after the fight. A Christian friend of mine took pictures of the site about 7 days latter, that all pictures were made up. People were asked to cry and spread household articles all around to give an impression of great riot.
My impartial sources told that the conflict was initiated by Christians first. After the fight, all the case was built by NGOs and missionaries who had to send pictures to US and UK for financial support. If any one wants to challenge what I said, beware, I can present that made up pictures and the email addressed where that were sent and by whom.

I have felt so bad to read about this event. I have not been able to reconcile the two events. Islam is a religion of peace and must continue to be peace for the whole world, but most of our brothers in Islam have misconstrued what constitute Holy War, misdoing things in that pretext. This action promotes violence in the world since angers can be raised to take revenge, leading to world war because the two religions have dominated the world. So that action is condemnable.
To be fair, some Christians are also to be blame for being careless with their tongues. The tongue is the smallest organ in the body, but it can destroy the whole world.
Burning the Koran is an evil thought and must not even enter the head of the living. So in this case, if you say that a you have burnt the Koran, you have definitely invoked chaos upon yourself especially knowing very well about Moslems’ behaviour when comes to matters concerning their religion. If any Moslem says he will burn the Bible, Moslems will say that he has gone mad. Why? In the Holy Koran, God told Prophet Mohammed: “Oh Prophet, We have indeed sent this Koran to confirm the former scriptures that We gave to David(psalms), Moses (Old Tesmt.), and Messiah(New Testmt), so that they (Arabs, Jews, and Christians) may take admonishing. ” In another part of the Koran, God told Prophet Mohammed that the religion of Islam is the religion of Abraham, Ishmail, Isaac, and Jacob, and those of their offspring who came after them.
