just another proof that they are animals (and should be treated like this)

MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan - Seven foreign United Nations workers were killed Friday in Afghanistan by protesters angered by a Koran burning in the United States, in the deadliest attack on the UN there since the 2001 invasion.
Four Nepalese, one Swedish, one Norwegian and one other foreign worker were killed and several protesters killed or wounded after a mob overwhelmed guards at the UN compound in the normally relatively safe city.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the violence following a battle of over three hours in which part of the building was burned down amid small arms fire and explosions, an AFP correspondent at the scene said.
U.S. President Barack Obama condemned the attack "in the strongest possible terms", while UN chief Ban Ki-Moon said it was "an outrageous and cowardly attack against UN staff which cannot be justified under any circumstances".
A police spokesman said demonstrators seized weapons from guards at the UN building before turning them on the staff. The Nepalese Gurkha guards killed several protesters before they were fatally wounded, a senior UN official said.

It looks like some of 0bama’s friends are killing some of his other friends. 0bama must be all wee-weed over this.
Religion of peace again.
You burn a book they burn you.
Biting the hand that feeds them.
On second thought, it’s to their advantage with the loonies. The UN will just give even more to the obviously destressed poor things who were only lashing out at the big mean ol’ USA (never mind it’s our $).
I went to my Officer Advanced Course with a Nepalese Gurkha. Prayers for his safety, and for those who lost their lives.
These people are still in the dark ages. What will it take to pull them out? Or are they too numerous and they are going to pull us in? Frightening indeed.
Well, people called them violent. What do you expect them to do ;) ?
this is what inbreeding has wrought...that and still living in the 13th century
Lets load up all our people and abandon this s**t-hole of a non-country. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what we do, how hard we try, this dump will never ever change.
There is no hope for these people.
A bunch of bullets!

bttt
If I were in Afghanistan, Sudan, Kosovo, Liberia, Timor or any other place, and was told my life would be in the hands of UN guards - I would be on the next plane out of there.
Somehow, I read this as “Attacked Democrat Headquarters”.
Will the Muzzies return some of the love the RATS have for them?
YES THEY WILL!
My questions: Is it perfectly acceptable in their eyes if they go out to slaughter people AFTER they’ve said their prayers???
I live one state away from FL and I didn’t know that a Koran had been burned - how did they know? AND would I have cared?
Can we prosecute those who burned OUR FLAG?
You really have to work at being this stupid....”the demonstration was entirely peaceful.” ?????
I don’t know about the rest of you but I’d go for a mass buying and burning of the Koran here!!! This is so ridiculous, it makes one want to puke.
EXCERPT:
Friday’s protest began after the traditional prayers, and demonstrators gained access to the UN headquarters around 3:00 pm (1030 GMT), a police spokesman said.
Demonstrators called on the Afghan government to cut diplomatic ties with the United States if the cleric behind the Koran burning was not prosecuted, and to declare the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan illegal.
By late Friday the city was calm with a large police presence, the correspondent said.
Several thousand people also protested in the northwestern city of Herat, according to an eyewitness. The protesters, all men, burned U.S. flags and stamped on them, eyewitness Sardar said.
Shafiqullah Behrozian, spokesman for Herat’s governor, told AFP that “the demonstration was entirely peaceful . . . It is because the religious elders of Herat had asked people not to use violence.”
Afghanistan is a deeply devout Islamic country where even rumours that the Koran has been insulted can result in deadly violence.
