The rioting and protesting continues over stupid cartoons published in a newspaper.
It's a terrible thing. People wonder why Islam has a bad reputation. They say "Islam is fine! We are peaceful, we respect everyone." Clearly they don't.
And people are trying to get us to help the homeless earthquake victims in Pakistan, the very place they are chanting "Death to America."
Woman holds up a sign "Down with America" and chants Anti-American slogans.
Demonstrators rally and burn American flags as they chant "Death to America, Death to Bush"
The Danish flag burns in protest over the depictions of Muhammed.
Muslims walk over the flags of Israel and Denmark on their way to a protest over the cartoons.
Muslim demonstrators burn dummies of the prime minister of Denmark (apparently it's his fault for the cartoons... I do NOT understand these people).
Muslim protesters walk over the flags of Israel, Denmark, and the U.S.A.
Demonstrators hold up a sign that says "Islam Respects All Religions." What a joke!

| ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Thousands chanted slogans and burned Danish flags in Pakistan and Iraq to protest cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad on Tuesday, while the second Russian newspaper in a week shut down after publishing the images that have angered Muslims worldwide.
ADVERTISEMENT Witness accounts, meanwhile, confirmed a report by Italy's envoy, who said the violence that killed 11 people in Benghazi, Libya, last week was the work of both Islamic radicals and anti-government forces. In an interview with the Italian daily newspaper La Stampa published Tuesday, Ambassador Francesco Trupiano said domestic opposition to Col. Moammar Gadhafi had joined forces with religious extremists in a protest that began in front of the Italian consulate over caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. "Benghazi is still out of control," said Trupiano, who was speaking from Tripoli. "The situation can precipitate any minute. Protests continued elsewhere a day after Iran backed calls from other Muslim and world leaders for an end to the violence over the series of cartoons that first appeared in a Danish newspaper in September and have been reprinted in other publications in Europe and elsewhere. About 2,000 people in a small town near Pakistan's Afghan border yelled "Death to America!" and "Death to Denmark!" and burned effigies of President Bush and the Danish prime minister and flags of Denmark. A demonstration in the southern Iraqi city of Karbala drew about 10,000 people who burned Danish flags and demanded that Iraq sever ties with Denmark. |
