Big anti-US rally condemns Quran desecration
2011-03-29
[IRNA] IRNA - A largely-attended anti-US rally in Islamabad Sunday condemned desecration of the Holy Koran by a so-called American pastor and called for an urgent OIC conference to chalk out strategy to counter such acts.

Organized by Jamaat-e-Islami, the rally also condemned U.S. drone strikes in Pakistain's tribal region and the mysterious release of a CIA contractor who had killed two Paks.

Thousands of men joined the rally which was led by the Jamaat chief, Syed Munawar Hassan
... The funny-looking Amir of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. He joined the National Students Federation (NSF), a lefty student body, and was elected its President in 1959. He came into contact with the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT) Pakistan and studied the writings of Mawlana Syed Abul Ala Maududi, The Great Apostasizer. As a result, he joined IJT in 1960 and soon he was elected as President of its University of Bloody Karachi Unit and member of the Central Executive Council. He was Assistant Secretary General of Jama'at-e-Islami Pakistan in 1992-93, and became Secretary General in 1993. After years of holding Qazi's camel he was named Amir when the old man stepped down in 2009...
, who said the U.S. is hatching conspiracies against Islam and the Mohammedans but the Pak rulers and generals were not ready to doff the yoke of US slavery.

The participants of the rally marched for three kilometers on the main road leading to the parliament house with banners and placards and were raising slogans condemning the devilish pastor's blasphemous act.

Hasan said that the responsibility for the desecration of the Holy Koran by an American pastor rested on the cowardly rulers of the Mohammedans world including Pakistain.

He said that the powers blaming the Mohammedans of extremism and non-tolerance were in fact worried over the rapid advances of Islam in their own lands and had resorted to the blasphemy of the Holy Prophet and the Holy Koran.

"If the Mohammedan rulers had some sense of honour and dignity, they must have worked out a joint strategy against the US highhandedness and terrorism, and cut off all ties with it".

He called upon the OIC to summon an emergency meeting to urge the UN to take serious note of the act of fanatic American preacher who has hurt sentiments of the Mohammedans across the world. He regretted that the U.S. administration had allowed the man to burn the Holy Koran and the American authorities have not taken any action against him.

The Jamaat chief strongly condemned a recent U.S. drone attack in North Wazoo tribal region which killed over 40 innocent rustics, who had gathered for a jirga or council.

#5  I would consider rallies such as this one to be a target rich environment.

#4  Ah, another "Anti-US Quran Desecration Rally & BBQ" event. That's just the Pakistani Taliban equivalent of a block party. Pay no attention unless they start killing each other.

#3  While I was certainly not in attendance, I have it on reasonably good authority that former US State Department employee and SIG SAUER trick shooter Raymond Davis did not speak at this event.

#1  What is needed is a "Koran desecration randomizer", to generate thousands of "news stories" detailing countless stories of Korans being mistreated around the world, by infidels and Muslims alike.

Of course, "featured desecrators", like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, could get lots of stories that were particularly snarky, like how he makes a mulch of Korans to feed to his harem of pet pigs.
