Anger over Quran burning spreads in Afghanistan

KABUL, Afghanistan -Anger over the burning of the Muslim holy book at a Florida church fueled a second day of deadly violence half a world away in Afghanistan, where demonstrators set cars and shops ablaze Saturday in a riot that killed nine protesters, officials said.

The church's desecration of the Quran nearly two weeks ago has outraged millions of Muslims and others worldwide, fueling anti-American sentiment that is further straining ties between the Afghan government and the West.

The uproar even brought violence to the normally peaceful city of Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan on Friday, where a crowd of protesters — apparently infiltrated by insurgents — stormed a U.N. compound in an outpouring that left four Afghan protesters and seven foreign U.N. employees dead.

Let’s get it started! Next FRIDAY everyone in America stand in your driveway or go to the nearest busy corner and burn a koran.......let’s have 300,000,000 participate. Call all the news outlets.

I’m sick to death of these people and their stupid protests and riots. Why do we capitulate every time????? I’m sick to death of appeasing the muslims. You can’t even give away a bible in their armpit countries.....

Burning Korans? Know yourself out. A more constructive solution is to demand that we bring American troops home from this hellhole NOW

We should’ve just vaporized Afghanistan in 2001 and forgot about it.

How many Christian churches have been burned by muslims, and how many Christians around the world beheaded for being Christians?

My son is currently in Afghanistan with the Marine Corps. I’m not even supposed to send him PORK PRODUCTS FOR HIS OWN CONSUMPTION. Like I give a shit about their “religious” views while he’s over their “protecting” them.

I’d burn a koran if I wanted to waste the money buying it, or frequenting the type of place that would sell them.

With single digit literacy (and a low single digit to boot), with little to no electricity and an the only real contact with the outside world is through Iran, Pakistan, our military and the drug cartels, how exactly did they find out about the Florida Koran burning when nearly all of the West didn't know about it a day or so ago?

I submit that what is claimed as violence due to that Koran burning, is a fiction conjured up by the enemedia. IOW, it could be over anything, likely it is manufactured rage and the enemedia is gratuitously blaming a Koran burning on this.

I smell something dirty coming from the Department of Hate.

Like many, I’m sick and tired of screaming mobs of ‘offended’ Muslims threatening and/or committing havoc based on some alleged outrage that involves their satanic ‘religion’. They use any excuse to kill and destroy, killing Christians and even other Muslims - for specious reasons. Savages - led by the Prince of the Air. Let them wallow in their tribal hatred and murder each other in that pit called Afghanistan.

Every time I see one of these a-holes in my town I burn with anger. I wear my Infidel T-shirt when I can and stare them down. What else can we do to rid our country of these demons?

Burnings should continue until morale improves.

Hello Captain,
A more fitting solution is to not sell them ANY FOOD.
Let the moosie retards starve to death.
