Anger Continues To Build Over These Muhammad Cartoons
For a third consecutive day, These Muhammad Cartoons have caused intense protest throughout the Muslim world. The Cartoons originally printed in a Danish Newspaper Jyllands Posten, have been causing waves of anger, and resentment throughout the Islamic World. The editor of the newspaper has been fired, and the people who drew the cartoons are in hiding fearing for their lives.
Outrage built as protests took place from Iraq to Indonesia. In Iraq, thousands of people held protests after prayer services on Friday, raising fists, and burning Danish Flags. In Indonesia hundreds rallied outside a Danish Government Embassy, chanting God is Great, pelting the building with eggs, and then storming the building trying to gain access to elevators that led to the 25th floor embassy, the protesters were held back and returned to the street where they also tore down a Danish flag, and burned it. Other protests took place in Islamabad, and Karachi, where roughly 1000 people each showed up chanting Death to Denmark, Death to France. In Malaysia, people massed outside the Danish embassy shouting Here are some pictures of todays protests. "Long live Islam, destroy our enemies"
We are not terrorists, we are not anarchists, but we are against those people who blaspheme Islam," said a man wearing a white Arabic robe who was part of one of the protests.
