Two killed in demonstrations over US Koran burning
More than 2,000 people demonstrated in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan, over the burning of a Koran in the United States. Reportedly, the demonstration has left two Afghans dead.
Today’s protest follows the death of seven UN foreign staff who were killed during similar protests in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
In Kandahar police fired into the air to try to prevent the crowd from marching towards the UN offices and provincial administration headquarters.
An AFP reporter says the protesters have split into two groups, with one marching over to the UN office and the other marching toward the governor’s office.
“Both have been blocked by police,” he said. The reporters also said the mob beat up one Afghan photo journalist and broke his camera.
The demonstrators, all men, were shouting "Death to US" and "Death to (President Hamid) Karzai, he added. "They have insulted our Koran," one protester shouted. Police did not allow reporters to speak to the demonstrators.

Definitely, that delinquent of a pastor - who goes by the name of Wayne Sapp - and his sidekick Mr Jones knew that their actions would inflame the rabid, murderous reaction of the effluvium of human nature which appears to populate vast areas in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Innocent people, who were there to provide services related to health, education, sustenance and legality, have suffered terribly as a result of this madness. Guilt by association can never be justified, and the hordes of bearded demential troglodytes need to brought to account. In a fit of uncontrollable anger i would recommend some copious doses of "daisy cutters" but i realise it would not solve the problem.

It's true that the mad pastor did a very bad thing, not because of burning the Koran, but because he did not think the freaking consequences this would have brought. But the intolerance of those afghans whose religion of peace and tolerance is the order of the day is to say the least unacceptable by the civilised world. Why didn't Malta Today state in what way these 2 people were killed - for all to read it was on CNN and it was by BEHEADING!! These are Muslim intolerant freaks, whose sole intention is to promote sharia law - the religious law of war and intolerance, the law which debases women, the law which gives go ahead to child marriage, the law which allows stoning, the law which allows death of gay people, the law which goes against all vestiges of human rights and decency.
