KARACHI, Pakistan: Police say Muslim workers at a factory in Pakistan have beaten to death a Hindu colleague after accusing him of blasphemy against Islam's prophet.
Karachi police chief Niaz Siddiqui said workers at a leather factory fatally beat the 27-year-old Hindu man on Tuesday after a debate about religion became heated.
Siddiqui said the laborers told police that the victim was defaming the Prophet Muhammad. Police said they prevented the mob from burning the corpse and are investigating several people for suspected murder.

Small Hindu and Christian communities live largely in harmony with Pakistan's overwhelming Muslim majority. However, rights groups complain that discrimination and violence against minorities often go unpunished.[:'(][:'(][:'(]

It happens. There have long been violent attacks of muslims on hindu and hindu on muslim in theIndo-pak area. I suppose this is why the British split the former combined territory into two parts when they pulled up stakes and left about 1949. I have always found it odd that people kill others in the name of religion -- it just doesn't square with my thinking that killing another can be a religious act. It may be needed, it may be merited, it may be necessary . . . but that doesn't make it a religious act.
