Religion of Peace at Work in Pakistan

A child, four women, and a man died fiery deaths in the restive Pakistan province of Punjab after rumors of a desecrated Koran spread through the Muslim community.

The BBC reports:

The four women, a man and a child died as Muslim militants set fire to Christian houses in the town of Gojra, officials said.

TV footage showed burning houses and streets strewn with debris as people fired at each other from rooftops.

Officials said the rumours which led to the unrest were false.
Nothing says peace more effectively than a violent mob burning six Christians to death based on the irreproachable solidity of rumors.
