Mohammed-mania - get your well done fried chicken at the Pakistan KFC



Thought you'd want to see the update from crazyland... coming to a town near you. Hope HousingPanic doesn't get fatwahed... for calling these clowns clowns.

Any of this action hitting the US yet? I guess the big London protest is this Saturday.. might get in the way of a few open-houses

Pakistani Cartoon Protests Largest Yet

Gunfire and rioting erupted Wednesday as more than 70,000 people joined Pakistan's biggest protest yet against Prophet Muhammad cartoons, burning movie theaters, a KFC restaurant and a South Korean-run bus station. Three people died and dozens were injured in two cities, police and witnesses said.

The massive crowd went on a rampage in the northwestern city of Peshawar, torching businesses and fighting police, who struck back with tear gas and batons. It was the third straight day of violent demonstrations in the Islamic nation.

The rioters ransacked the offices of the Norwegian mobile phone company Telenor, three cinemas and offices of Mobilink — the main mobile phone operator in the country, witnesses said. They also burned a bus terminal operated by South Korea's Sammi Corp. Flames were shooting out of some of the buses, private TV station Geo reported.

"The European newspapers have abused our religion," said Shaukat Khan, 22 and jobless, his eyes streaming from police tear gas near the burning bus stand. "We are expressing our anger. Usually protesters are peaceful but some miscreants do bad things and other people join them."

How can I respect someone’s decisions affecting the lives of 295,734,134 people who can’t even manage a shotgun in a secure area?

Austinyankee, I think the reason they say "the Prophet Mohammed" is to differentiate him from the other billion people also named Mohammed.

Everyone knows who Moses and Jesus are.

The press also refers to "Mother" Theresa and "Saint" Patrick.

We should all be trying to build bridges between our cultures. Isnt that what "Mother" Theresa would want?
