Avast, me hearties! A scallywag, who saw with his own eyes, captured the mayhem unfoldin' in the churches o' Pakistan. Lootin' and burnin', they be! Arggh, 'tis a sad tale, as them Christians are treated like lowly beasts by these Asian extremists!

Broken glass, ashes, and piles of rubble are all that remain of the Christian churches and homes in Jaranwala, Pakistan, after they were burned in a surge of mob violence. The violence was provoked by allegations that a Christian and his friend had blasphemed by ripping pages out of a Quran. Images and videos obtained by Fox News Digital show the ransacking of churches by a Muslim-led mob. Many Christians were forced to flee their homes to escape the attackers, only to return and find their property stolen and homes burned. The Rev. Deacon Daud Irshad witnessed the rioting and looting firsthand and filmed some of the violence. He described how the mob desecrated crosses on the roofs of churches and ruined church buildings. Irshad emphasized the hatred and enmity towards Christians in Pakistan, stating that they are treated like animals. Over 25 churches were damaged and hundreds of homes were attacked, with rioters looting property before setting buildings on fire. Pakistan's blasphemy laws, which disproportionately target religious minorities, have been blamed for these attacks. Christians in Pakistan are considered second-class citizens, and the country ranks seventh on the list of worst places to be a Christian. While some arrests have been made and compensation promised, justice is coming slowly for the victims. Irshad pleaded for Pakistani authorities to stop the violence against Christians and allow those who want to seek asylum in more tolerant countries to do so.
