Hundreds of Pakistanis took to the streets on Friday, chanting death to America, demanding that their leaders resign and setting fire to a US flag over the burning of Qurans in Afghanistan. Up to 300 people blocked the main Grand Trunk road in Peshawar, stomped on and set fire to the US flag, and kicked the dummy representing America and beat it with sticks while it was burning. “The ugly face of America has been revealed with the desecration of Holy Quran,” a banner read. The Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the burning, stressing that “utterly irresponsible and reprehensible things” do not happen again.
“On behalf of the government and the people of Pakistan, we condemn in strongest possible terms the desecration of Holy Quran in Afghanistan,” spokesman Abdul Basit told reporters. In the capital Islamabad, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) general secretary told the crowd that the Islamic world should review its relations with the United States. “We will not allow Americans to ridicule our religion and our Holy Quran,” Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri told the crowd, asking the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) to convene a special session to condemn the incident. In Karachi, hundreds of activists of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), blacklisted as a terror organisation, chanted “Death to America”. “There is just one remedy for America – jihad and only jihad,” the crowd shouted. “Death to America, death to America’s friends,” echoed slogans. The demonstrators were carrying flags with black and white stripes and inscribed with Koranic verses. They also held up banners, one of which said: “The defeated Americans are bound to bite dust in their war against Allah and His Book.”
Pakistanis allow persecution of minorities and other religions in the country, blow up mosques of each other sects and then complain about this? Hypocricy.
Death to america and cancer to corrupt karzai.
without punishment no apology accepted.
who burnt Quran, are really very bad people… They do not even know the basic fundamental rights. Jews protest for their rights…but they made this world HELL by their fight agiant Muslims.
The masses of Pakistan, especially those who take part in these demonstrations are the cancer of our society. These degenerate fools don’t realize that they harm their own society and country based on what happens in another country.
should b peaceful protests
a
Mujhe hairat hoti hai un musalmano pe jo Quran ki behurmati pe ehtijaj to karte hain lekin Quran ko Imam nahi banate . . . !!
Kya Quran k kisi hukam pe koi shak hai???
Plenty of other religious doctrines have been burned, flags, effigy's. And yet does ANYONE in the modern world hold massive protests where people DIE? There's a reason the rest of the world see's you as 3rd world, and this is it. I thought maybe you people had enough problems over there; I guess not. GET A REAL PROBLEM.
