Why the lack of humor?

You're a funny little man, but you're out of your league.

Yeah, it must be hell trying to keep all of your handles straight. Tomorrow will do just fine. Or May. Just as good.

They need to play Muslims and Army Air Force, just like the Japs needed to long ago.

Meanwhile, our boys are busy in winning hearts and minds, and this incident is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Shoot first, share the pics online later.

Well having looked at your link I hope it's the entire iceberg and simply a 'one off'.

The BBC's Paul Wood says the authorities in Kandahar have blamed the Taliban for the protests

Nine people have been killed in the Afghan city of Kandahar during a demonstration against the burning of a Koran in the US, officials say.

Hundreds of people took part in the protest. Gunfire was heard and cars were set on fire.

On Friday, seven UN workers were killed after a protest over the same issue in in the northern city of Mazar-i Sharif.

It was the worst attack on the UN mission in Afghanistan since the international invasion in 2001.

Further violence

A large and angry crowd surged through the streets of Kandahar, chanting "They have insulted our Koran" and "Death to America", the BBC's Paul Wood reports from Kabul.

The authorities in both Kandahar and Mazar-i Sharif blamed the Taliban for the attacks. However, the Taliban has rejected the accusation.

Might be funny to burn a bible on YouTube and see how many Christian riots ensue.

If we call it "art" YouTube won't even delete it I bet.

Do it, and I will fly a plane right into your neighborhood. I've always wanted to learn how to fly, and since I know GR, maybe he'll cut me a discount on lessons. And then, as I am passing over your house, I will think a few unpleasant thoughts about you.

How does that feel? Hm? That'll teach you the costs of heresy!

I don't think there were any with the cross in the piss "art," nor the crotch-shot Virgin Mary. Protests against government sponsorship of said art? Yep. Riots or crime? Nope.

I'm just as mad, or more so, at Terry the so called Christian. He knew violence would ensue, as most of us did, and does it anyway to prove what? He's no better than the killers and has innocent blood on his hands.
