I know that our faultless bulldogs of the Fourth Estate like to spoon-feed us a simple narrative, either because of their low estimate of our ability to comprehend stuff or their own. But I'm persuaded that the protests are not solely about the burning of the Korans, but that incident was rather the spark that lit the tinder we've been stacking up for 10 years in Afghanistan.

If you have solid information that the protests in Afghanistan are "specifically and solely due" to Koran burning, please share it. Otherwise, I remain skeptical.
