The President of Pakistan has condemned the burning down of a Lutheran сhurch and called for the protection of Christians in the country.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari also condemned the destruction of a school and offices in the city Mardan and urged local authorities to protect Christians.

According to the president: "The destruction of property, especially the places of worship of other religions, is contrary to Islam and should be condemned."

After Friday prayers Pakistani protesters angered by the film "The Innocence of Muslims" broke into the Anglican Church of St. Paul.

They destroyed the altar, tore up Bibles and then set fire to the building.

The protesters then broke into a school, a library, an information center and the homes of two priests and a school teacher, where they destroyed everything in sight and wrote "Allah Akbar” on the walls. (source)
