Thousands of Indonesians burn mock Statue of Liberty
A crowd of 10,000 people burned a mock Statue of Liberty and chanted "Bush is a terrorist" during a boisterous anti-war rally Friday in Indonesia. Crowds marched through the streets of the central Javanese town of Solo, holding hundreds of posters calling for a peaceful end to the Iraq war and labeling US President George W. Bush a terrorist and baby killer. Others strode through the streets holding a plastic foam replica of the Statue of Liberty but with a machine gun in her hands. As the protest ended in front of a university campus, the crowd burned the two-meter-high statue and joined in a chorus of "Bush is a terrorist." Yassss... Thousands of Islamists, burning a representation of Liberty. That sounds about right. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-05 |
