Muslims Repair Church
Muslims have repainted and repaired a Catholic church attacked in the Punjab region of India. The damage was done by a mob of more than 100 Sunday night. They stormed the Protestant Church of North India in Malerkotla, reportedly because of rumors that the Quran was being burned in the U.S. Several police officers were injured trying to prevent the burning of Bibles during the attack. The Jalandhar diocese says the Muslims who offered help replaced doors, ceiling fans and bought new benches for the church. Malerkotla is the only Muslim majority town in Punjab, which is dominated by a Sikh majority.
