#1 But don't make the mistake of connecting the riots with the Friday "prayers". Nope, that wouldn't do at all. It would be insensitive and everything. Very unfair.

#2 On Friday, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in this city, apparently angry over a play that was performed two years ago in the church, and was recently distributed on video disc. Though few people interviewed Saturday said they actually saw the play or the DVD, the word ~~from the mosque~~ on the street was it was anti-Islamic.

I guess that when all you can do is seethe, it takes quite some time before things reach the boiling point.
