Guest American Woman Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) 2 killed in Afghan protest over Quran-burning plan Before news that the burning of the Koran had been cancelled, protests had started in Afghanistan. According to the article, at least two people were killed. Sounds like there's going to be a protest in Iran, too, outside the Swiss embassy -- against the cancelled Koran burning. Not sure what they're protesting since the burning didn't take place. AT any rate, Switzerland evidently represents U.S. interests in Iran. Edited to add video of protest in Afghanistan. Not sure what they're burning ..... Edited September 12, 2010 by American Woman Quote
naomiglover Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 Since we're already off topic, the BBC reported that Christians have contemplated leaving Gaza in the wake of those "couple of incidences" and several others. Sorry if they don't all stay put just to score MLW forum points for you and other Hamas supporters. Looks like the Christians in Gaza want to put the blame on Israel and not on the Muslims. But you go on ahead and tell us how they Christians in Gaza are lying: Father Musallam explained why Christians in Gaza do not feel singled out or oppressed. “Palestinian Christians are not a religious community set apart in some corner. We are part of the Palestinian people,” he asserted. “Our relationship with Hamas is as people of one nation. Hamas doesn’t fight religious groups. Its fight is against the Israeli occupation.” When asked about Western media reports that Gaza’s Christians are considering emigrating because of Islamic oppression, Father Musallam sighed. “If Christians emigrate, it’s not because of Muslims,” he emphasized. “It is because we suffer from the Israeli siege. We seek a life of freedom, a life different from the life of dogs that we are currently forced to live.” Link Why is it so tough for you to accept facts?

But you go on ahead and tell us how they Christians in Gaza are lying: The blame game is yours...I am satisfied to have demonstrated that your contention of "safe" Christians in Gaza is bullpucky. Why is it so tough for you to accept facts? Why is is so tough for you to accept Israel...oh wait...nobody cares if you do or not. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
