Iraqis burn an effigy of Pope Benedict XVI during a demonstration, in Basra, Iraq's second-largest city,Monday. The demonstration was against his speech last week in Germany, particularly his quoting of a medieval text that characterized some of the teachings of Islam's founder as "evil and inhuman" and referred to spreading Islam "by the sword." Benedict said Sunday that he is "deeply sorry" his remarks on Islam. Look at the photo,look at the background of the photo.

"Hundreds of angry" or "outraged" protestors. Good pick-up. Looks more like a few guys waiting on the charcoal to get ready for the (pork) ribs.

Somebody who is good in photoshop should enlarge what looks like a yellow badge hanging off the guy right in the middle.
compared with the cops shown later it looks like several of the guys there are cops.
