The banner reads: ''There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is the messenger of Allah''. Credit: Reuters/Parwiz By Obaid Ormor PUL-E-ALAM, Afghanistan | Sat Sep 11, 2010 7:56am EDT PUL-E-ALAM, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Protestors clashed with Afghan security forces on Saturday, as thousands of Afghans demonstrated for a second day, despite a U.S. pastor suspending plans to burn copies of the Koran, officials said. The renewed protests in the war-torn country came after obscure Florida Pastor Terry Jones called off plans to burn copies of the Koran to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States. The plans triggered outrage in Afghanistan and across the Muslim world with President Barack Obama warning the action could deeply hurt the United States abroad and endanger the lives of U.S. troops. Four demonstrators were seriously wounded when Afghan security forces opened fire as thousands of protestors tried to storm several government buildings in Pul-e-Alam, the capital of Logar province, south of Kabul, a provincial official said. "The security forces did not want any trouble but were forced to open fire when the protestors tried to force their way into the buildings," said Din Mohammad Darwish, the provincial governor's spokesman. Demonstrators also hurled stones at the buildings, including the department for women's affairs, causing some damage. Pul-e-Alam is located some 70km (40 miles) south of the capital, Kabul. "MORE BLOODY ATTACKS" Elsewhere in northeastern Badakhshan province, where a day earlier one protestor was shot dead, several thousand people took to the streets in three separate districts, provincial police chief Aqa Noor Kentuz said. "Demonstrators have come in their thousands to protest the Koran burning, though so far it is peaceful. Our police force is there to prevent any violence," he told Reuters. A spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said he was aware of two demonstrations in Badakhshan. He said no ISAF forces were involved and that the protests were not near any military bases. In a statement posted on their website, alemarah-iea.com/, the Taliban called on all Afghans to join the hardline Islamists in their fight against the Western forces and warned of more attacks if the Koran burning went ahead. "This stupid pastor who wants to avenge the September 11 attacks by burning the Koran will not only cause hundreds of bloody attacks in the United States but also throughout the world," the statement said. On Friday, a crowd estimated at 10,000, protested on the streets of Faizabad, the capital of Badakhshan, after special prayers for Eid al-Fitr, the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. One protester was shot dead when a smaller group attacked a German-run NATO base in Faizabad, hurling stones at the outpost. Protesters also gathered in the capital, Kabul, and in four other provinces, mainly in the west of the country. Similar protests over perceived desecration of Muslim symbols have led to dozens of deaths in Afghanistan in recent years, including after a Danish newspaper published a cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammad in 2005. (Additional reporting by Ahmad Elham in KUNDUZ and Hamid Shalizi and Jonathon Burch in KABUL; Writing by Tim Gaynor and Jonathon Burch; Editing by Jonathan Thatcher) World Afghanistan Comments See All Comments (15) | Post Comment Sep 11, 2010 5:49am EDT I understand the outrage over the plans to burn the Koran. But; if Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance where are the similar protests against the burning of the American Flag? Where are the similar protests against a “faction” of muslims who promote and execute terrorist acts in the name of Islam? Has the Western world forgotten the celebrations by muslims following the 9/11 attacks? Those who wish to build the Islamic Center near the WTC site argue that all muslims should not be condemned for the acts of a “few” radicals who happen to be muslim. The pictures of the current protesters, and similar protests during the past 9 years, and the celebrations whenever an attack against the “infidels” occurs, show the “peace and tolerance” of Islam in a very clear light. Until muslims everywhere stand up and rid their “religion” of Bin Laden and similar radicals there can be no peace and tolerance. Until muslims rise up to show similar condemnation for the acts of their own against other religions the Nation of Islam is shown for what it is; a religion of lies, hatred, and intolerance for non-muslims. They shall reap what they sow. AEstates Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 6:08am EDT I did not hear or see outcries of condemnation from muslims from any country when America was attacked. Indeed I have a vivid memory of watching palestinians dance and celebrate in the streets. Our arab “friends” were noticably quiet or said “well it was bound to happen”…”well USA brought this on themselves with their foreign policies”, etc. I have lost my tolerance for the muslim religion just as they have never had tolerance for my own. You dont see Christians wearing suicide vests..you dont see Christians throwing acid in the face of young school girls simply because they are simply going to school. The world is seemingly filled with hate driven ben ladens. I recognize islam for what it is: a religion that follows teachings of a false preacher, a religion of intolerance, hate, and many lies. It does not follow the teachings of God Almighty but rather teachings of the Great Liar Satan. Fools each and every one. Just remember muslims “abandon hope all ye who enter here” ogre12 Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 6:53am EDT The Koran burning is wrong, plain and simple. The “outrage” by the Muslim society is over reaction (again), plain and simple. The real problem here is not either side – it’s the media feeding frenzy on an insignificant abhorant act that has inflamed the world. And as a result, military and civilian personnel, such as I, who are attempting to assist Afghanistan have been put at even greater risk. The real criminals are the media. Final example: the Reuters headline on this article implies that the Koran burning has already taken place, when in fact it may never take place. Shame, shame, shame on you. RussRid Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 8:23am EDT I wonder how long this reaction to a mere thought will continue. Seems a little incredible, doesn’t it? Why were those Crusades fought again? No condemnation from the “moderate” Muslim leaders, eh? That’s not surprising since they become targets of violence the second they criticize anything another Muslim does. Thousands are protesting – sounds like a reasonable representation of their faith to me. Maybe it isn’t just the fringe, eh? Mikeyh0 Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 9:09am EDT Americans have an absurd lack of intelligent judgment.. these demonstrations are not reactions to a “thought”. They’re reactions amplified and aggravated by the US and NATO followers’ preemptive and illegal invasions and occupations of sovereign states. They were horrific invasions which caused destrution of infrastructure including hospitals, schools and universities, libraries, museums, agriculture, power grids, sewage plants, “shock and awe” which resulted in a million deaths in Iraq and 30,000 deaths in Afghanistan with an equal number maimed and wounded, the introduction of religious extremists/Al Qaeda and civil war into Iraq where it did not exist before, puppet governments and warlords installed by the invaders, looting of these countries by profiteering contractors, and the introduction of poverty including making Afghanistan into a supplier of 97% of the world’s opium trade. Iraq was not even a muslim government, it was a secular state that tolerated a thriving and sizeable christian community which the US invasion managed to wipe out. MarkDonners Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 9:16am EDT What this whole incident shows is how, with the aid of the media and Internet, one moron can threaten to do something that takes on global proportions. That said, though, I sure don’t remember throngs of Muslims anywhere in the world protesting the murder of Daniel Pearl or the people beheaded by al Qaeda in Iraq during the early days of the insurgency there. It would be outrageous to burn Qurans and would only result in revenge burnings of Bibles, Torahs, and perhaps people. Why go there? The Nazis led the way with their book burnings, and during the war, the descretation of Torahs and razing of Jewish shuls. It was gutless and hateful. This Jones person is a serious nutcase. He needs psychological rather than media attention. abarafi2 Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 10:07am EDT The world seems to have a severe double standard. There was little outrage when Afgans murdered aide workers for possessing Bibles. The moderate Moslems need to find their voice and step forward on this. That several leading Moslem clerics can state that if one small group of individuals, who were condemned by nearly the entire Country of the US and all religious organizations, but protected by freedom of speech, is an act of war by the Western World agains all Islam, demonstrates Islam is a religion of violence and barbarism that places the value of a book above the lives of innocents. Moderate Moslems, you need to stand up and be counted. Find your voice and defeat your own extremists, or the only conclusion is that radical Islam is in fact the mainstream of Islam. gemini51 Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 10:38am EDT I say turn our Marines loose and let them do their job and these people will shut up. ISLAM is a CULT. Holy they say.. Well there is nothing HOLY about ISLAM and its Koran. They are murderers and killed our Americans 911 and many times since that day right here on our soil. Our elected officials should be removed for allowing these kind of people to exist in the USA. Islamic Muslims are dangerous and can not be trusted. They are here and waiting to kill more of us. Beware of this CULT. Holy! nothing holy about gutless cowardly murdering Islamic law which triggered the attack on the USA 9/11. Like it or not. We should of declared war on Islam as they did us… 09/11/01 notatall Report As Abusive Sep 11, 2010 10:41am EDT Hey Ogre12 I don’t think you should bring Satan, another myth, into this. It sounds like fundamentalist talk to me. By the way, take a look at Ireland and 400 years of Christians murdering women and children indiscrimanately. People in glass houses .. etc. Fred_UK Report As Abusive See All Comments (15) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
