Stirred up by three angry mullahs who urged them to avenge the burning of a Koran at a Florida church, thousands of protesters on Friday overran the compound of the United Nations in this northern Afghan city, killing at least 12 people, Afghan and United Nations officials said.
The dead included at least seven United Nations workers — four Nepalese guards and three Europeans from Romania, Sweden and Norway — according to United Nations officials in New York. One was a woman. Early reports, later denied by Afghan officials, said that at least two of the dead had been beheaded. Five Afghans were also killed.
SourceThis is just a classic story where everyone involved is a rampaging idiot.
The pastor has every right to burn the Koran. It's part of his freedom and the society he lives in. However, he is a massive cunt for doing so. It is a hugely provocative act, and unlike 'good' provocative acts that inspires debate, it only serves to fuel his and his pithy 30 followers' egos with hatred.
The rioters in Afghanistan also can't seem to see that this act is down to the work of one deluded man, instead the entire Western civilisation is to blame and they take out their anger on innocent people which resulted in unnecessary deaths.
And then you have the media, thinking they can spin a story on the whole thing, give this pastor air time and publicity which nobody would have heard about otherwise, and who knows, these deaths may never have occurred.
Lamentable all around. Everyone involved doesn't even deserve oxygen.
