Catch the key phrase here.
LAHORE: Angry protestors burnt down two cinemas and broke shop windows after some 50 copies of the Quran were reportedly recovered from a sewage drain near Bhatta Chowk on Tuesday.
Garbage collectors reportedly spotted the holy books floating in the Rohi Nalla, which is in South Cantt police jurisdiction. Residents of the nearby Gowaha village then joined them in collecting the books.
Now, who do you suppose is doing the "reporting"?
An Elite Force patrolling unit briefly stalled the mob by a baton-charge and firing in the air, but the protestors did not back down. More than a thousand people carrying wooden sticks chanted slogans and swore to kill those responsible for the incident. They ransacked shops and burnt tyres, blocking Bhatta Chowk. The mob also burnt down Shalimar Cinema and Nadeem Cinema and tried to attack a local cable channel operator.
Police personnel appeared to be overwhelmed. Witnesses say policemen stood around as the protestors attacked shops. This correspondent saw protestors tell passers by on cars and motorcycles to turn off the lights on their vehicles, “or the people will tear you apart”.
The more this happens the more the world can see Muslims as they truly are.
The media can't spin this as "militant Muslims" or "radical Muslims". These were ordinary village people, Muslims, going on a rampage over a reported desecration of a book. Just like they did over Newsweeks bogus story.
