Pakistan Christian 'Burned', Wife 'Raped', For Refusing Islam

Religion of peace alert: Muslims, being Muslims, attack and burn Christian man, rape his wife, make their children watch the attacks, all because they refused to convert to Islam:
RAWALPINDI, PAKISTAN (BosNewsLife) A Christian man was fighting for his life in Pakistan's Punjab province Saturday, March 20, after Muslim leaders backed by police burned him alive for refusing to convert to Islam, while his wife was raped by police officers, Christian and hospital sources familiar with the case told BosNewsLife.Read it all ...Arshed Masih was burned Friday, March 19, in front of a police station in the city of Rawalpindi near Pakistan's capital Islamabad, following apparent death threats from his Muslim employer Sheikh Mohammad Sultan, an influential businessman, and religious leaders, said the Rawalpindi Holy Family Hospital.
His wife, Martha Arshed, was allegedly raped by police officers. Their three children -- ranging in age from 7 to 12-- were reportedly forced to witness the attacks against their parents.
[...] The case comes at a time when church groups have complained about growing attacks against minority Christians by Muslim militants, often with the alleged support by local law enforcement officials and other authorities.
One can't help but notice the perfunctory attachment of the word "militants" next to the word Muslims in the article - albeit by BosNewsLife, as though Muslim "militants" are the exception, and somehow make the acts acceptable, understandable, or "different" - since it's just "militants" being "militants" - as in "boys will be boys." However, this, in the context of the fact that acts against Christians are done "with the alleged support by local law enforcement officials and other authorities" negates even this outlandish responsibility "out" for their behavior against non-Muslims - unless, of course, those "local law enforcement officials and other authorities" are militants also and that somehow gives reason to the attacks.
But note that there is indeed no difference between the acts of the "local law enforcement officials and other authorities" who are Muslims themselves, and "militant" Muslims - ergo, this is just another case of Muslims being Muslims, attacking Christians for being Christians, and refusing to be Muslims.
When, pray tell, was the last time you heard of Christians attacking, burning, raping, Muslims, for any reason, let alone because they wouldn't convert to Christianity!
