MULTAN, Pakistan — Angry Muslims went on a rampage Wednesday, attacking a Christian area in eastern Pakistan, burning a church and damaging at least four others, police and local Christians said. The mob also demolished a man's house after accusing him of desecrating Islam's holy book and attacked several other Christian homes.
The attacks in Jaranwala, in the district of Faisalabad in Punjab province, erupted after some Muslims living in the area claimed that a local Christian, Raja Amir, and his friend had torn out pages from a Quran, thrown them on the ground and written insulting remarks on others.
