LOL. Consider the double think that libtards have to engage in over this. They claim Islam is a religion of peace. Yet, this pastor has managed to really push their button simply by burning a Koran. Had the muzzies burned a Bible, what would be the response? Probably not much. The muslims, though, go on a killing rampage which proves the pastor's (and others') points about Islam. Libtards, in turn, will blame the pastor which is ridiculous.

At least one person has been killed and 18 injured in a third day of protests in Afghanistan over the burning of a Koran in the US last month.
Hundreds of demonstrators marched in Kandahar, Jalalabad and other areas on Sunday.
On Friday, 14 people, including seven UN staff, were killed in Mazar-e Sharif after similar protests.
US President Barack Obama described the killings as "outrageous" and the Koran burning as "intolerance and bigotry". [must be hard for the muslim president to ride the fence on this one]
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has called on the US Congress to condemn the Koran burning and prevent it from happening again.[Karzai doesn't understand that in Amerikwa you can still do this. Of course, in Afghanistan, you can stroll around with a full auto AK and grow poppies...]
A statement from his office said Mr Karzai made the request at a meeting with Gen David Petraeus, the commander of international forces in Afghanistan.
Ten people in Kandahar died and dozens were injured following Saturday's protests.
On Sunday, demonstrators in Kandahar city - the birthplace of the Taliban - marched on the main UN office.
At least one person was killed when a gas canister exploded in Kandahar.
Interior ministry spokesman Zemarai Bashary said the canister was in a traffic police booth which was set alight by protesters, the AFP news agency reported.
Smaller protests were also reported in two other districts of Kandahar province, and in Parwan province, north of the capital, Kabul.
There are conflicting reports that at least one other person may have been killed, but it is not clear at which protest. At least 18 people were injured.
In the eastern city of Jalalabad, hundreds of demonstrators peacefully blocked a main road for three hours on Sunday.
The crowd shouted for US troops to leave Afghanistan and burnt an effigy of Mr Obama, according to an Associated Press photographer at the scene.
The UN's chief envoy to Afghanistan, Staffan de Mistura, blamed Friday's violence in the northern city of Mazar-e Sharif on the Florida pastor who burnt the Koran on 20 March.
"I don't think we should be blaming any Afghan," Mr de Mistura said. "We should be blaming the person who produced the news - the one who burned the Koran. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from offending culture, religion, traditions." [Afghan muds worshipping the moon god aren't responsible for their own actions. We get it, de Mistura.]
