A mob, led by Islamic clerics, ransacked the house of a teenage Christian boy in Pakistan's port-city Karachi and set fire to furniture after he was accused of sending text messages with blasphemous content, a media report said on Thursday.

The incident occurred on Wednesday in the staff colony of the Sui Southern Gas Company, a middle-class neighbourhood in Gulshan-e-Iqbal area in the city.
Police said the boy was accused by local residents of sending the allegedly blasphemous text message on Tuesday to employees and officers of Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) at the residential-cum-office compound, the Dawn newspaper reported.

After the news circulated among residents of the colony, a mob attacked the quarter of 16-year-old Ryan Stanten.

His mother, Rubina Bryan, works as a superintendent in Sui Southern Gas Company.

The boy and his mother were unharmed as they had left the quarter the previous night due to tension in the area.

"Had they not left the house, the situation could have been really bad," a senior police officer told the daily.

The mob ransacked the house and set fire to household articles, including a washing machine and a fridge, after bringing them out on the road. The protesters shouted slogans against the Christian family.

According to DIG Shahid Hayat, some local residents had gone to the boy and asked him about the SMS after receiving it. He told them that he had only forwarded the SMS after he had received earlier.

"Ryan told complainant Khursheed Alam and Pesh Imam Qari Ghulam Qadir of the SSGC Jamia Mosque that someone sent him this SMS and he forwarded it to all Muslim friends without reading it," said Mr Hayat.

After the mayhem, police reached the scene and tried to appease the protesters by assuring them that a case would be registered.

"We reached the scene and talked sense to some clerics who were leading the protest," a police officer said.

Subsequently, an FIR was registered against the boy under Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code, Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act and Section 25 of the Telegraph Act.

Section 295 of the PPC is part of the harsh blasphemy law.

Human Rights Commission of Pakistan chief Zohra Yousaf described the incident as "very dangerous" as Christians were being targeted.

"At least 22 blasphemy cases have been reported in the country this year alone, in which Muslim accused are more in number compared to the Christians," she said.

In August, teenage Christian girl Rimsha Masih was falsely accused of blasphemy by a cleric in a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Islamabad.

She was released by the court and moved to an undisclosed location for security reasons after witnesses told a magistrate that the cleric had planted evidence to implicate her

lol...Another Asylum case drama for going abroad....

Thats the problem with pakistanis, especially one like u. U love to be in denial mode. As Javed Akhter says, ideology of pakistan was all communal rather than religious.

Such actions porove PAkistan is all bout communalism.

I remember once 'RazPak' said, What I do is something between me and my Allah. Now this is being religious and above actions prove, Pakistanis are not and never has been religious but communal.

PS : Defination of Communalism : Politicising Religion and involving Fascist Ideology.

These above guyz are Pakistani version of RSS. I only hope they are as much in minority in Pakistan as RSS is in India.

I heard IOC is funding research to create a device that will be able to tell the religious police what real thoughts exist in a person's mind. Henceforth the medieval practice of relying on torn pages, sms messages, films made 9000 KM away etc will be replaced with 21st century modern progressive cutting edge science mind probe.
This is the one!

No one is questioning the law dear . My question is towards the behavior of Rabid Mullahs who ganged up and burned in house and instead of filing case on them Police was PLACATING them .

I guess you are referring to the movie (Angoor) which was an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors". The other actor was Deven Verma.
