Yesterday morning 100 Christian houses and churches were set on fire by local Muslims in the city of Kasur South, east of Lahore, Pakistan.  The riots were incited by broadcasts from local mosques.
 
So far 9 burned women and 4 children have been transferred to Lahore for further medical treatment. All of them have been injured by Muslims throwing acid on them.  Local police have arrived on the scene but the situation is out of control as thousands of Muslims have gathered to join in these riots.
