09/14/2010 Pakistan (OneNewsNow)-Cleric of hard-line Muslims has constructed a mosque on a Christian cemetery in Pakistan.
 

Muslims in Sargodha, Pakistan, were led by a hard-line cleric to construct the mosque at that particular location. It was originally believed the workers were building an addition to the already existing mosque, but the group has been desecrating Christians’ graves.
