STILL GOING…
Al Jazeera reports:
Tens of thousands of Pakistani Islamists wielding sticks and waving green flags have rallied in Karachi against cartoons of Prophet Muhammad, the latest in a wave of protests in which five people have died.
A crowd of up to 50,000 rallied on Thursday in the main commercial district of the sprawling southern city, and some torched effigies of George Bush, the US president, and Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Danish prime minister.
The protesters wearing green headbands shouted slogans of “Here I come, Oh Muhammad” and “Death to blasphemers” as thousands of policemen and paramilitary troops looked on.
A branch of Citibank, the American financial institution, and an office of the German company Siemens hung black flags to mask their logos, as did a Christian hospital and several cinemas on the rally’s route.
President Bush is scheduled to visit Pakistan the first week of March. Keep an eye on it.
