"HAND OVER RUSHDEI TO PAKISTAN FOR TRAIL IN SHARIAT" (Bad Protest English-to-Regular English translation: "Hand Over Rushdie to Pakistan for Trial in Sharia!")

Find a picture in any paper that depicts a Christian like this.
There ya go. It truly is "the religion of peace," isn't it...?

UPDATE 16:11 EST: It seems that Hamas has joined the party. The sycophantic press, of course, is doing their best to present the protesters as helpless, unarmed civilians. We know better, though. Also, Confederate Yankee has noticed the "Hump" sign, and found it as amusing as we did. Continue reading »
