No no wait a minute. The killings that went on recently by non muslims were the revenge acts of killings done by muslims. As in India. If you remember the muslims set a train on fire and burned 60 women and children to death. I don't fully understand what all that went on there, serbia, kosovo, bosnia, and why, but if the mulims behaved there the way they do elsewhere, I can see where the population would want to do something about them. They are dangerous, murderous people. You're the one that is getting your perspective from the media, not me. I am saying I don't know what happened there. I never studied the region and it's history. I DO know that I wouldn't rely on the press to give me the basis of information to form my opinion. Beirut?? That was a classic christian vs the muslims wasn't it? I don't remember, it was so long ago. But again, who caused the problems, you tell me.

5 Killed in Church Attack in Pakistan By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 4:55 a.m. ET March 17, 2002 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Two attackers hurled grenades into a Protestant church filled with Sunday worshippers, killing five people -- including two Americans -- and wounding about 40, police and U.S. officials said. The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad confirmed the American deaths but did not release the victims' identities. The nationalities of the other three killed were unavailable. Police said 10 Americans were among the 40 injured, along with 12 Pakistanis, five Iranians, one Iraqi, one Ethiopian, one German and a Sri Lankan diplomat, police said. Senior Police Official Nasir Khan Durrani described the attack as ``a terrorist act.'' After the attack, dozens of police and soldiers surrounded the Protestant International Church located in a heavily guarded diplomatic enclave about a half-mile from the U.S. Embassy. Ambulances rushed to the scene and rescuers scrambled to help the injured. Durrani said five people were killed. Four bodies -- three of them female -- were brought to the Polyclinic Hospital. Witnesses said two of the dead were teen-age girls. It was the second attack against Christians in Pakistan since the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States, which prompted Pakistan to abandon support for the Afghan Taliban and instead back the U.S.-led coalition against terrorism. Witnesses said the attackers entered the back of the church during the sermon and began hurling grenades at the congregation of about 70. Three of the grenades exploded and the attackers eluded security guards at the scene, police said. nytimes.com
