Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: 1,000 to 1,500 cartoon ragers riot in Pakistan. From AP, with thanks to JE:
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Police fired tear gas Tuesday as they chased away more than 1,000 protesters — some brandishing sticks and throwing stones — who stormed into the heavily guarded diplomatic enclave in Pakistan's capital, demonstrating against the Prophet Muhammad cartoons.The crowd — which briefly rallied outside the French and British embassies — entered the enclave through the main gate, guarded by about a dozen police who didn't resist the mob of mostly students.
Once inside the fenced-off enclave, they charged about a half kilometer (half mile) down the road to the British High Commission, or embassy, where police dispersed them with tear gas. They also gathered outside the French Embassy.
Some of the stick-wielding protesters damaged road signs and broke a bank's window in the enclave, which houses most of the embassies and some residential compounds for diplomats in Islamabad. The crowded totaled between 1,000 and 1,500 people.

The mosque "rent a crowds" seem to be dwindling in size as the days go by.
The pay must be very poor.

Bastards torched a petrol station & couple of cimemas too....wanton disregard to properties owned by people who love Islam....can't understand that.

Oh Well,
Looks like commonsense has prevailed.
Things are changing in Pakistan - the other day the women were allowed to run in the marathon there. There was police protection - and those who did not like it, were told to turn their TV sets off.
I think that Naseem is right here - Are they going to continuously let these people dictate to everyone else in the country - how they should practice Islam.
Put the breaks on this thing.
And how they act at home - is how they act abroad. As they are trying to spread that violent suppressive Sh*t all around the globe.

Im thinking that running a marathon in high heat while wearing a full chador cant be that comfortable.
No matter the strides that are being made, Pakistan is still only two steps away from the stone age in terms of societal development.

Torching property owned by infidels, on the other hand, is perfectly understandable...

...which doesn't prevent CNN from putting on a bleeding heart report for the earthquake-victims in Cashmere. (I'm watching while I'm typing this...)
Give generously folks, the world needs more Jihadi's...

Give generously. A jihadi is a terrible thing to waste.

Let those mindless murderbots come out of their holes and face the IDF or the USMC like real soldiers. In about 5 minutes, they would be a pile of body parts.
