Protest fire in Kashmir - reaction to 'Qu'ran burning'















Bishop Pradeep Samantaroy of Amritsar
writes:
following the Quaran burning threats in America, the Tangmarg branch of the Tyndale Biscoe and Mallinson Educational Society in Jammu and Kashmir has been put on fire. Curfew has been imposed. Even as this message is being typed, the school building is still burning! Kindly pray that peace will be restored soon and that nobody is hurt.

PS It is worth noting that this is a reaction to the 'Qu'ran Burnings' that did not happen. Fighting fire with fire

LATEST UPDATE:
Smaraki Samantaroy The School students are not hurt. The building has totally burnt down. It was entirely made of wood. Though the officials were informed of a possible attack and requested for safety there was no action taken. The mob even stopped the fire brigade from reaching the spot.We are yet to procure a photograph. We will keep you updated.
