Afghans Protest Israeli Operation In Gaza


A protest of nearly 5,000 Afghans, the largest of its kind this week, condemned the Israeli operation in Gaza (and they threw in a lot of ire towards the Danish cartoons as well) and the Afghan protesters also made an interesting demand:


The protest, the largest in recent days in Afghanistan, also called on the Muslim world to provide arms and funds for Palestinians against Israel


So, let me see if I have this straight. The Afghan people and their government are in the fight of their lives against the Taliban. The Taliban, each and every day, conduct suicide bombings and roadside bombings that have killed hundreds and hundreds of Afghan civilians - these same Afghans who have buried their innocents because of the hand of the Taliban, are willing to take to the streets for Hamas? Am I missing something here?

Are the Afghans saying that a jihadist group such as the Taliban deserves death but a jihadist group such as Hamas deserves weapons and money? Or are they are saying that anyone that kills Jews is okay and deserves their support? The ironic part of this is...in most cases, when this group of 5,000 gathered in Afghanistan for this protest, when they assembled to show unity in the muslim cause, the chances were pretty high that one of their revered mujahideen might have stepped into the middle of all of them, pulled the switch on a suicide bomb vest and killed over 200 of them.
Religion of Peace? Ideology of Idiots.

Here's the full story from Breitbart.


Afghans protest Danish cartoons, Israel raids

PUL-I-ALAM, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Around five thousand Afghans staged a protest on Wednesday to condemn the reprinting of a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad in Danish papers, and Israeli raids on Gaza that have killed scores of Palestinians.
The protest, the largest in recent days in Afghanistan, also called on the Muslim world to provide arms and funds for Palestinians against Israel and condemned plans by an anti-immigration Dutch politician to release a film on the Koran.
Marching on the streets of Pul-i-Alam, the provincial capital of Logar province, the protesters included students and religious figures. They burnt Danish and Dutch flags and tore apart an effigy of Pope Benedict.
Like several previous protests, the demonstrators demanded the withdrawal of Dutch and Danish troops who serve under NATO's command in Afghanistan.
"The Muslims have no more tolerance. The government should sever its ties with Denmark and Holland and expel their forces from Afghanistan," said the protesters in a resolution.
"Those who are behind the cartoons and the film must be tried ... and if not, as in the past, we the people of Logar are ready for any campaign," it said, referring to Afghan wars against British invaders in the 19th century and the then Soviet Union in the 1980s.
One group of protesters, apparently in favor of the Taliban Islamic movement leading an insurgency against the government and foreign troops, chanted: "Long live the Mujahideen."
