Afghan Protests Against Koran Burning Turn Violent
In western Afghanistan, one civilian was killed and three were wounded by gunshots at a protest outside a NATO base in Bala Buluk in Farah Province, according to a hospital official there.

In northern Afghanistan, five Afghan protesters were wounded by gunshots, three of them critically, when hundreds of men tried to force their way onto a NATO reconstruction base in Faizabad, the capital of Badakshan Province, Afghan officials said.

2. God is a big sentient if he is offended about the burning of the word
I'm sure it will be dealt with.

This is unfortunate but we don't mix sin and crime around these parts.

3. but some here says
This preacher who has incited it all isn't responsible for this violence because he shouldn't be responsible for any of it since he was practicing his freedom of speech and nobody no matter how much he stirred it up was forced by him to do these acts.

4. Blood on his hands already.
Do you think knowing he is responsible for human deaths will cause him to lose what's left of his sanity?
