800-1200 people join first Pakistan rally to honour bin Laden

[^_^ 5,021]

QUETTA: Hundreds took to the streets of Pakistan’s city of Quetta on Monday to pay homage to Osama bin Laden, chanting death to America and setting fire to a US flag, witnesses and organisers said.

Angry participants belonging to a religious party in Quetta, the capital of southwestern province Baluchistan, were led by federal lawmaker Maulawi Asmatullah. They also torched a US flag before dispersing peacefully.

It was the first rally in Pakistan after the United States announced that bin Laden had been killed in an overnight commando mission in Pakistan.

Organisers said between 1,000 and 1,200 people attended the rally, but witnesses put the figure closer to 800.

“Bin Laden was the hero of the Muslim world and after his martyrdom he has won the title of great mujahed (Muslim fighter),” Asmatullah said.

How convenient. India doesn't like Pakistan, and we already have forces in Afghanistan. Perhaps the SEAL's would like to go on a few more midnight strolls, ala Phoenix Program.

Okay, so there are 170MM or so people living in Pakistan. About 1,000 felt the need to express via protests that some injustice was done when OBL's lights were turned off. Seems like a fringe - a tiny one at that - to me. What's the issue?

There are people right here at home who honor bin Laden.

Yup. They probably won't take to the streets, though.

Probably wouldn't be the wise thing to do.

Not too shocking except it was a peaceful protest. Big deal. OBL is dead!
