Reports: Upset over Michigan incident, Muslims attack church in India
Muslims in India reportedly attacked a church late Sunday night after they heard reports that a Quran had been burned in Michigan, according to Indian media outlets.
Curfew had to be imposed in Malerkotla, a town in Punjab, India, after a group of angry Muslims set on fire the only church in the town. They were reportedly upset that a Quran, a holy book for Muslims, was burned in East Lansing over the weekend and left near the Islamic Center of East Lansing.
According to the Times of India, stories about the Michigan burning of the Quran circulated through text messages. A mob then gathered and went to the church, where they set a wooden plank on fire.
"The protesters also tried to torch a (police) motorcycle and policemen had to fire in the air to control the situation," said a story in the Times of India.
Other media outlets, including Indo-Asian News Service, reported similar accounts.
