Afghan riots over Quran-burning: 2 days, 20 dead

[chatpilot]

Unbelievable! It's not the act of burning the Koran. It's the full knowledge of the consequences that would follow his actions, which in this case are the killing of many innocent people who happen to reside in that country that did not personally violate those religious laws. They are being punished for the actions of one irresponsible idiot hiding behind rights supposedly conferred upon him by a piece of paper (the U.S. Constitution) that the government can amend and revoke at any time. In this case those people over in Afghanistan are suffering the brunt of these blood thirsty animals vicariously. I hate all religions with no exceptions because of shit like this.

If you are in a foreign country you are to abide by that countries laws no matter where you came from. Imagine being an American that lives and works in Afghanistan and has managed to get along fine with the locals and from one minute to the next you find out that the actions of an asshole here in the U.S. just put your life in danger. All your so called friends and neighbors all of a sudden want to kill you just for being American.That's fucked up! Religion is a powerful thing and history has shown that it has been used to incite people to commit horrendous crimes in the name of their deity of choice.
