Protesters in Pakistan Target West
AP - 2 hours, 2 minutes ago
LAHORE, Pakistan - Thousands of protesters rampaged through two cities Tuesday, storming into a diplomatic district and torching Western businesses and a provincial assembly in Pakistan's worst violence against the Prophet Muhammad drawings, officials said. At least two people were killed and 11 injured. Security forces fired into the air as they struggled to contain the unrest in the eastern city of Lahore, where protesters burned down four buildings housing a hotel, two banks, a KFC restaurant and the office of a Norwegian cell phone company, Telenor.
Warning - Ignorant Knee Jerk Reaction
How long do you think it will be before the world gets sick and tired of the "muslim" community destroying everything in its path over every single offense?
Without knowing every single nuance of the climate and society, my western sensibility tells me that if there wasn't already a "War on Islam" as the propaganda claims, then there will be one soon.
The Pendulum swings both ways. For a long while it seemed like "oh my - we can't do X because it will offend Y". But that just feels like a losing battle. Everything will offend Y no matter what. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. World leaders everywhere will eventually stop caring about your "religion" folks. If not, the western media will.
And damnit - they just went too far! They burned down a KFC! Don't they realize how sacred fast food chicken is to the West? Crispy barn yard fowl lovers everywhere will rise up and smite these chicken-less pig dogs from the face of the earth! Make mine extra spicy, because breaded nuggets of fire will rain down on these infidels! Their destruction of the ediface of the Colonel will be their undoing!
Hrm... The Colonel as Muhammed... now there's an image...
