Pakistanis burn Danish flag to protest publication of Prophet cartoons
2008-02-15
Dozens of hardline Islamic students set a Danish flag on fire in Pakistan on Thursday to protest reproduction of Prophet Muhammad cartoons in Danish newspapers.

About 60 members of the student wing of the radical religious group Jamat-e-Islami staged a protest in the country's biggest city, Karachi, and demanded the death penalty for the cartoonist. They also condemned President Pervez Musharraf for not taking up the issue with the Danish government.
"There is only one treatment for the Jews ... waging jihad."
"A friend of Denmark is a traitor of the faith," the protesters shouted in chorus. "There is only one treatment for the Jews ... waging jihad (holy war)."

Leading Danish newspapers on Wednesday reprinted cartoons of the prophet in a gesture of solidarity after police in Denmark revealed a plot to kill the creator of the caricature that sparked deadly riots across the Muslim world in 2006, including Pakistan.

#6  I guess these aren't the same ones who are suffering "mullah fatigue". But then "dozens" were all they were able to muster so maybe that is encouraging. Keep publishing more cartoons and even these idiots might get fatigued. They might get desensitized, if you will, which would be a good thing when they see the world isn't coming to an end just because somebody makes fun of the moon god.

Good thing they cleared up the term "jihad". I was under the impression it meant peaceful inner kampf.

#2  Why am I thinking that, the most appropriate, Danish response should involve a Skeggox?
