Indian forces killed 13 protesters and wounded scores of others today in confrontations across Kashmir fueled in part by a report that a Qur'an was desecrated in the United States, a police official said.

The violence, the worst since separatist protests erupted in June, came as Indian officials debated whether to relax harsh security regulations to try to ease tensions in the disputed territory.

Despite a rigid curfew across the region, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets, throwing rocks, torching government buildings and chanting, "Go India, go back. We want freedom."

As long as these mooslims are killing themselves and each other...just what is the problem? I guess as long as you are dead there is peace. Maybe that’s how they look at it.

their not to bright, are they?

[Dexter Morgan]

Maybe if we keep burning Korans these people will wipe themselves off the face of the earth.

[blam]

Good.

Dead pig-faced Muslims.

What's wrong with that?

[GeronL]

As if they needed a reason

[Daveinyork]

We’re supposed to appease those knuckleheads?

[pnh102]

Funny, no one in the USA who burned a koran killed anyone.

I know it’s a real silly question, but why are they rioting and killing over there, when the koran burning was here? That’s like looking for your lost class ring on the street instead of the back ally where you lost it, because the light is better.

[dfwgator]

Sounds like a win-win to me.

[Grunthor]

Religion of Peace on display. Remember....be tolerant.

[ontap]

And we haven’t even burned it yet!!!

[concerned about politics]

protesters took to the streets, throwing rocks, torching government buildings and chanting,

Islamic tolerance on parade.

[Paladin2]

Tell them it is the will of Allah.

[ronnyquest]

"...We want freedom."

Above all else, muslims do not want freedom.

[West Texas Chuck]

Don’t burn Korans, stop buying toilet paper.

[frogjerk]

Quran burning outrage is convenient cover for other demands made by lunatics. At the pro-religious tolerance (BS) protest the other day at ground zero there were people holding up “Free Palestine” and “Free Healthcare” signs.

[fml]

These dummies want to rule the world....yikes

[randog]

The deliberate destruction of any holy book is an abhorrent act."

I agree, you should not destroy the Word of God...and I'll leave it at that.

**Maybe if we keep burning Korans these people will wipe themselves off the face of the earth.**

That’s what I was thinking. It’s the nutters that riot over every little thing and it would be way cheaper than sending troops. Every few weeks, burn a stack of Qurans and our defense budget could be cut in half.
