Five injured in mosque ownership scuffle
2005-05-23
Five people were injured when two religious groups scuffled over a mosque's ownership in Kahna police jurisdiction on Sunday. Police sources told Daily Times that an Ahl-e-Hadith group had differences with an Ahl-e-Sunnat group over the ownership of the under construction Masjid-e-Quba in Shalimar Town.

The sources said that the Ahl-e-Hadith group got a stay order from a court two years ago halting construction. The Ahl-e-Sunnat group tried to start construction on Sunday on which both groups scuffled. They attacked each other with iron rods and stones, injuring five people from both groups. Idrees Farooqi, Ijaz, Abbas, Ghulam Ahmad, and Azam were injured. They were taken to General Hospital where they are stated to be in critical condition.

#4  I take much innocent amusement in the fact that the Sunnahs are thumping the Hadiths, and vice versa...

#3  Hope nobody desecrated anything (like a Koran or the religion generally) in the process of the squabble.

#1  The same old place as before? Lol! I've heard the Real Estate mantra, "Location. Location. Location.", but this is a tad absurd.

Mebbe there's a meteorite buried there and it attracts boneheads.
