3 Dies After Protesters Set House On Fire Over A Boy's Blasphemous Post On Face Book.

Seven year old girl Hira., her baby sister Kainat  and their grandma 55 died after house in Pakistan was  set ablaze by people  protesting about "blasphemous" material on a social media site, Facebook by a boy.

They died after a row between two men exploded in violence in the Pakistani town of Gujranwala, 140 miles from the capital Islamabad. 

A crowd of about 150 people alleged that  Ahmadi which  is  a kind of unorthodox Muslim had posted "objectionable material" on Facebook.

But while police negotiated with the protesters, another mob attacked and started burning the houses of Ahmadis, claiming the lives of the woman and two of her grandchildren. Ahmadis consider themselves Muslim but believe in another  prophet other than Mohammed.
