Hope this isn't a dupe.

KABUL, Afghanistan

...

Also Monday, several hundred Afghans shouted anti-American slogans and "death" to President Barack Obama to protest plans by a Florida church to burn the Islamic holy book the Quran on Saturday to mark the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks in the United States that provoked the Afghan war.

(snip)

"We know this is not just the decision of a church. It is the decision of the president and the entire United States," said Abdul Shakoor, an 18-year-old high school student who said he joined the protest after hearing neighborhood gossip about the Quran burning.

The U.S. Embassy in Kabul issued a statement condemning Dove World Outreach Center's plans, saying Washington was "deeply concerned about deliberate attempts to offend members of religious or ethnic groups."

Protesters who had gathered in front of Kabul's Milad ul-Nabi mosque raised placards and flags emblazoned with slogans calling for the death of Obama, while police looked on. They burned American flags and a cardboard effigy of Dove World Outreach Center's pastor, Terry Jones, before dispersing peacefully.

1. If any Americans die from the holocaust of hate stirred up by Republicon Faux 'christians'
 
then the Hate Masters of the Republicon Faux 'christian' jihad will have HELL to pay.

Oh bullshit you stupid MFer. If any Americans die it will be on the head of whoever did the killing. Them and them only. Stop infantalizing murderers by claiming someone else's actions "made" them do it. I'm sick of hearing that shit, especially after seven years of your excuse-making for the murderous bastards in Iraq.

2. Too bad we couldn't get the American Taliban and the Afghan Taliban
 onto an island so they could fight to the death.

5. It's this kind of hate that keeps the Middle East a hot bed
 Look at what happened when the story got out about Qurans in the bathroom at Gitmo.

When are Americans going to learn that their way is not the only way? Selfish, hateful b*******ds. Pardon my French, but this really burns me. No pun intended.

That's funny, when the Europeans were making cartoons of Allah and the Muslims went apeshit, I didn't hear you blame the cartoonists. When a Muslim in the U.S. gets attacked, I don't hear you blaming Muslims in the ME for burning the U.S. flag and shouting "Death to America!"

And you actually question why people accuse you of hating America?

I think the DUmbass means the Fake Story by Newspeak about flushing the koran.

If they could have figured a way to burn Korans to stir up anti-US sentiments to help the US lose the war and still keep their multicultural credentials intact they'd be the first ones to burn Korans.

That being said, those retards in Florida need to realize they are putting US military lives in danger.

So?!? It's type of hate that makes the Middle East a hot bed, huh?!?! Hey douche bag, we live in America. Don't like it, go live in Afghanistan. Then you can practice your religion with those cave dwellers.
OH?!? Never mind, you're a liberal, so you hate the church and Christians/Catholics anyways. My bad.
