One killed, several injured in police firing following mosque demolition

This is from Khabrein Info an Indian news site which seems to be aimed for the Muslims of India.
Loni, July 25, 2008: One person was killed and several injured when police fired on demonstrators who were agitating over demolition of a wall of a mosque and sacrilege here in Loni. Loni falls in the national capital region (NCR)
Demolition of wall of a mosque and disrespect of Holy Quran led to communal violence in the Loni area of Ghaziabad district.
32 people were wounded when the rioters stoned and opened fire. The mob set fire two police chowkis and seven DTC buses. Many police personnel were also injured in the attack by the mobs. The police reached the spot at least four hours late.
According to reports construction of the mosque was being opposed by the people of another community. . . Yesterday at about 4 pm the people of majority community attacked the Kareem Masjid. They beat the imam of the mosque Maulana Nazakat.
When the news of the attack on mosque reached the people of minority community they got angry. The injured were admitted to the nearest hospital. Although the police forces have been deployed in the area but the situation is still tense.
I think it is interesting the way the writer describes the Muslims as the “people of the minority community” and everybody else as either “the majority” or “the other” community. Anyway it shows that opposition to Mosques and mosque building is not a phenomenon solely of the white racists of the West. Racist being the taunt still given whenever objections are made to a proposal.
