The signs read: "Newsweek deserves to be banned" and "Bush should apologise for desecration of the Quran".

For starters, the signs look WAY to uniform and manufactured... it's as if some PR firm made them for the protestors.

Now, the signs say "Raza Academy" in small print at the bottom, which a quick Google finds is is an institution in Bombay (Mumbai), India, founded "for the sole purpose giving Islamic Knowledge to children and youngsters as well as old people". (http://www.razaacademy.com/aboutus.html)

I'm sure they are capable of producing the signs if they felt the need to. But the strangest thing is, why would they be calling to Newsweek to be banned?? I'd think their ire would be aimed straight at Bush. But angry at Newsweek for "betraying" their enemy?

THINK about it. If they believed this to be true, why would they be mad at Newsweek for reporting it?! I'd think they'd be happy Newsweek brought it into the open!
