Thousands hold anti-US protests in Pakistan over attack

"Are you ready for jihad against America?" Tiny Minority of Extremists Update from AP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- Thousands of protesters took to the streets yesterday, chanting ''Death to America" and calling for holy war as outrage persisted over an airstrike that heavily damaged a remote border village.

Pakistani authorities suspect Al Qaeda operatives had gathered last week at Damadola to plan attacks early this year in Afghanistan and Pakistan, when the meeting was torn apart by US missiles, an intelligence official said.

President General Pervez Musharraf is a key US ally in the war on terror, but many in the Islamic country resent those ties. Feelings intensified after the deaths of 13 villagers in the US attack on Jan. 13.

Officials believe at least four foreign militants also may have died, including an Al Qaeda explosives and chemical weapons specialist and a son-in-law of the terror network's number two leader, Ayman al-Zawahri.

Mutahida Majlis-e-Amal, or United Action Forum, an opposition Islamic coalition, has organized anti-American protests across the country, the latest held yesterday.

The largest was held in Peshawar, capital of North West Frontier Province, where Damadola is located.

Several thousand people marched from two mosques, chanting ''jihad [holy war] is our way" and burning effigies of President Bush. Smaller demonstrations were staged in Lahore and the volatile border town of Wana. No violence was reported.

Several thousand people. Versus less than 50 at that much-vaunted Free Muslims rally against terror last year.

''Are you ready for jihad against America?" Dost Mohammed, a coalition party leader, asked the gathering in Peshawar.

Hundreds of protesters, most wearing white prayer caps, raised their hands.

''We will keep fighting jihad with our pens and our voices. If there is need, we will fight with other means," Shahid Shamsi, a spokesman for the religious alliance, said when asked if it was advocating armed struggle.

''Our mujahideen have fought against the Russians in Afghanistan and in Kashmir. We will fight if an aggressor occupies us," he said.

Pakistani lawyers, meanwhile, held separate protests in various cities. In the capital, Islamabad, about 100 lawyers protested in front of the Supreme Court, chanting ''death to America" and ''death to Musharraf."

Pakistani lawyers. Speaking of uneducated rabble manipulated into extremism by craven Islamist leaders.

Did you ever notice the same subliminal message (if not overt) running through the news: now they hate us! It seems we've heard this everyday for as long as I can remember. It’s like an old Monty Python routine. “We hate you now. NOW we hate you. We HATE you now. OK, now we hate you. Wait ... we now hate you.”

Seems that all the hearts & minds we bought with the millions of dollars in aid after the earthquake were only rented after all.

WD..to the dishonest man the generous man is but a fool as he gives freely what the dishonest man no longer needs to take.

I have put up the shutters on all international charities now as I now refuse to subsidise islamic incompetence and jihadic terror.

When i see how much subsidy all of these great islamic countries receive it makes me wonder just how they would survive without the generous west. Hopefully we wont find out but if we do we will have the joy of knowing that by destroying the west they will be committing suicide as a group.

If the west had any sense of responsibility towards its own future it would cease all immigration, ensure draconian and immediate return of ALL illegals back to the nearest islamic sewer and stop ALL funding of overbreeding islamic nations/groups too incompetent to feed and clothe themselves.

Then we will see just how peaceful they all are and how much Allah loves them.

Let me get this straight.

Islamic Terrorists have
Killed thousands of US citizens
Muslims Celebrate

Killed thousands of blacks in the sudan

SHOVE IT!!

Hello all,

The procession of marchers passed thought Lahore town, not too far away (just a couple of miles) from where I live.

Not the sort of thing that a lone woman could go to so I begged my husband to take me. He knows that it could have been dangerous...but also how important it was to me,so took me in the car....and then we walked some of the distance...watching from within a shop (a local friend)for (some) safety.

The noise was deafening, we saw hundreds of males wearing traditional white and virtually all wearing prayer caps, some with sticks and some police.

A leader would shout (mostly) "Death to Amrika" by megaphone and a deafing roar would answer back "DEATH TO AMRIKA"...and then there would be Allu Akbar followed by "ALLU AKBAR".

Dubiya was there too...suitably dressed but looking a bit thick round the waist and draped with the Yankee flag....and then he was gone....burnt to a cinder.

We were there for sometime and it was frightening to see the huge numbers...but it was worth going. Good to see that the Infidel stayed away for his own safety.

Let the street seethe.

One of the few forms of expression of these deluded fools.

Music to the ears of this infidel.

Hey, PROTESTORS:

Burn the Stars and Stripes over there, outta the way. The smoke bothers the cadaver dogs. And don't hurt yourselves on that earth-moving equiment airlifted here for earthquake relief. And, if you don't mind, try not to wake up those guys over yonder who are sleeping after their 12-hour shifts diggin' for your relatives. And if you need some uncontaminated drinking water, the line forms in front of that American volunteer over there from New Jersey. He's set up just next to that aid station from Iowa.

And after you've shoved and pushed and taken everything we have, and blamed us for not giving more, I'm going to try mighty hard to resist the impulse to tell you to just, well, Kiss My Ass.

"And after you've shoved and pushed and taken everything we have.,. well kiss my ass."

Well stated Texan. Remember the Alamo!!!

Naseem:

What a post!! It is great to get this kind of perspective. Be careful though. You can be rather silly at times, but I would hate to see you get hurt.

Nazz: Didn't know you were of the female persuasion. Oh well, it makes no difference to me. From what I can see, all Muslim want is "death to America!" Well Let me be the first to tell you, NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!! This is the greatest counrty in the world. And YOU KNOW IT!!! Can stand the fact that we are sooo FREE. Neither can your countrymen. The fact that your country is helping and abating terrorist escapes you. But not to worry. Our missiles took care of that. Too bad Zarquri missed the going away party in his honor!!!
Hey wait a minute, it is AMERICA that is helping the PAKISTANI earthquake relief!!! Where is the help from Iran, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia?
You know, the "fellow MUSLIM" states? Well, at least the "Infidel Dubiya" stayed home to make sure YOUR country got the help your country needed to clear the rubble from YOUR earthquake.
You see, OUR BIBLE instructs us "Christians" to "bless them that curse you you, do good to them that HATE YOU, and PRAY FOR THEM which DESPITFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE YOU;" Matt 5:44
So continue to burn our flag, OVER THERE!!! Cry DEATH TO AMERIKA!!! OVER THERE!!! Continue to burn Dubiya in efirgy, OVER THERE!!! And we, the Christian infidel, Zionist dogs, will continue to fellow the doctrine prescribed in Matthew 5:44, "Bless them that curse you." You ever wonder why you never see Americans burning YOUR flag on television? Now you know. Allu Fubar!!!
God Bless America.
