Orchestrated by the government, which obliged all its employees to attend, Chechens have held a huge demonstration in their capital Grozny to protest against the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed carried by French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Officials said over a million people gathered for the occasion.
What is happening in France, these cartoons, is an unbearable pain for each Muslim. We just want to show people that we should live in peace, said one man.
Protests continue throughout the Muslim world, but were much smaller in Tehran, where some 500 people answered a call to protest near the French embassy as news broke that Charlies print run was being extended to seven million copies internationally.
Several hundred people also gathered in Jalalabad in Afghanistan, which has seen three straight days of protests.

What more do we need to witness before we realize that Islam is a foreign culture, no different than the body snatchers of the movies. Science must develop a repellent.

The Epidemic of Insanity goes global.
As it only could in the “information age”. Which was ushered in by Bill Clinton, incidentally, but I digress...

I think more it is part of the death cult rather than a culture. I wouldn’t give that much credence.

Kind of like the “progressive” commie liberals protesting against “American Sniper” in this country.

Poooor frickin Islam. Embrace the suck, aholes. Cartoons versus random slaughter. Islam is a death cult that begs to be eliminated. Death begets death you Islamic idiots.

We need to develop a force field to put around these countries. Nothing in, nothing out.

An unbearable pain for the muzz? Good grief, a more thin-skinned group never existed. EVERYONE is lambasted for one thing or another; yet, everyone does not wax indignant to the extent the muzz do, throwing tantrums that are fatal to anyone around them.
If your god and his agent are so fragile, you may want to reconsider your god.
