Mob attacks Christian prayers in north India, 12 injured

About 12 persons were injured Sunday when a group of Christians were attacked in prayers at a town of north Indian state Bihar, police said Monday. Hundreds of Christians had assembled for the morning prayers in a hall at Sasaram town, some 250 km from the state capital Patna, Sunday morning when about 40 people stormed the prayer hall and mercilessly assaulted them, said Rohtas K K Sharma, Deputy Superintendent of Police, here Monday. All the attackers armed with sticks and lethal weapons were wearing masks, he said. They injured about 12 people and also torched the holy books, posters, banners and musical instruments kept in the prayers hall, Sharma said. The local police have launched massive raids to nab the fleeing attackers and deployed additional police forces in the areas to maintain peace.

And there was a Sindhi girl kidnapped in December last. No trace. Minister and his cronies state that a suitable action will be taken after he comes back from Haj.

^^ why are you strafing away from the orginal topic?!?! In arguments peopel start picking other topics then the on the one being discussed when they are losing arguments.
India wants to come across as this 'religous tolerant state', but clearly its not. india's true face is coming out, for example they are trying to create sectarian tensions in places where there wasnt before.......

Bihar is the most illiterate part in India. It’s known for that. The uneducated people do the most damage.
I don’t understand how silly billy has so much time on his hands to research all this and he/she somehow always points out the anti-indian stuff.

Every country has the uneducated, illiterate portions of the population.
India’s literacy rate is 61% so it has a long way to go and the adult literacy rate in Pakistan is at 40%. It’s not like Pakistan is only filled with educated, cultured people. I remember reading an article about how people in Pakistan were kidnapping Hindu girls and forcing them to convert to Islam some time ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Pakistan It’s really easy for me to take this and say that all of Pakistan treats it’s minority religious groups like this.

It’s always the uneducated people that do stupid things like this.

So......this was expected. These missionaries lure people by money and fraud. Obviously others will feel bad about it and take up violence(though should be condoned).

It is sad to see Indian's others just want to divert away from such instances of persecution in their country, or just make excuses for them.
