Christians demonstrated around Pakistan to protest after a Muslim mob torched more than 100 Christian homes following allegations of blasphemy.

More than 3,000 Muslims rampaged through Joseph Colony, a Christian area of the eastern city of Lahore, on Saturday after allegations that a Christian had made derogatory remarks about the Prophet Mohammed three days earlier.
