In the seventh instance of anti-Christian violence in Pakistan this year, a Muslim mob destroyed a Protestant church in Jaytike after a young Christian man was accused of tearing pages of the Qur’an. The accusation came after a Muslim family discovered that the young man was romantically interested in their daughter.
Jaytike is located in the eastern province of Punjab, historically the center of Christianity in the nation.
