Hamid Karzai: "Outside elements" fanned the flames of the riots. Hmmmnnn.

[Brotherjohn]

The riots were set off by claims in a US magazine that a Koran was desecrated by being left on a toilet at Guantanamo. Mr Karzai said the flames were fanned by "outside elements", usually taken to refer to Pakistani intelligence.

3. Well, that in and of itself is not unusual. (that was my thread, BTW)

The Islamic community in India maintains strong links with Pakistan, despite the fact that the two countries are "enemies". I would expect such a school to have links with Pakistan. Remember, Pakistan was formed by splitting the primarily Muslim Pakistan off from the primarily Hindu.

6. NeoCON policy of aggression and oppression has nothing to do with it.

I'm SUUUUUURRRREEEE.:eyes:

Everyone knows Karzai is a neoCON player,...that is everyone outside the USA.

Who shot and killed the unarmed protestors, Mr Karzai? Was it your imperialist military or ours?

I grabbed this from the front page of CNN. Nice signs, eh? Any of you Photoshop experts care to comment on this CNN picture?


Muslims in India get their message across.
