Muslims helping to rebuild Christian school in Kashmir

Bangalore, India, September 20 (ENInews)--Muslims in Kashmir, in the
northwest of the Indian subcontinent, are supporting the re-building of a
Christian school that was destroyed by fire during anti-Christian violence one
year ago. 

"What happened here is certainly wrong and it should not have happened. I
can assure you that our people will not allow it to happen again," Munshi
Mukhtar Ahmed, a Muslim teacher in a government school in the town of
Tangmarg, told ENInews on 20 September. 

On 13 September 2010, the Tyndale Biscoe School was the target of Muslims
protesting a reported desecration of the Quran in the U.S. that marked the
ninth anniversary of the 11 September 2001 terror attacks. The school is in
the town of Phulwama and is run by the Church of North India (CNI), the
dominant Protestant denomination in North India.
