Thousands of Christians displaced in Ethiopia after Islamists set fire to churches and homes

From here:

Thousands of Christians have been forced to flee their homes in Western Ethiopia after Muslim extremists set fire to roughly 50 churches and dozens of Christian homes.

At least one Christian has been killed, many more have been injured and anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 have been displaced in the attacks that began March 2 after a Christian in the community of Asendabo was accused of desecrating the Koran.

In the midst of all this terrorising of Christians by Muslims, there is at least some good news: only one Koran has been damaged – and even that appears inconclusive.

World leaders won’t have to write notes imploring copy-cat desecrators to show more sensitivity to Koran lovers, the heads of bishops and archbishops won’t implode as they contemplate the enormity of possible hate crimes against the Koran and, something we can all be thankful for, Obama won’t make another speech about how, in this teachable moment, Christians should show restraint so as not to inflame worldwide Islamophobia.
