JALALABAD, Afghanistan — "Thousands of Afghan students chanted slogans and burned Danish and Dutch flags Sunday in the latest in a series of protests over perceived insults against Islam.
The protesters in the eastern city of Jalalabad denounced an upcoming Dutch film that reportedly criticizes Islam's holy book, the Koran. They also condemned Danish newspapers' recent republications of a cartoon that depicted the Prophet Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
The several thousand demonstrators shouted slogans against Denmark and the Netherlands. They also chanted "Death to America" and "Long live Al Qaeda."
Hell yeah, that'll show 'em that burning someone else's icon because yours was insulted is the best way to get some serious attention as being ready willing and able to join modern civilization.
Oh an by the way; if the AP is saying 'thousands', you can bet the farm at least 100 protesters showed up.
