NATO Troops Kill Protester at Afghan Rally
Troops Opened Fire on Protesters Against Bid to Burn Qurans
by Jason Ditz, September 10, 2010
At least one protester is dead in the Afghan city of Faizabad today, in Badakhshan Province, after NATO troops opened fire on a rally of some 10,000 demonstrators who were protesting against the planned (albeit possibly suspended) quran burning in Florida.
According to reports some of the protesters threw stones at the exterior of a German military base in the city, prompting troops inside the base to open fire on the crowd. It was unclear if there were other injuries in the attack beyond the one confirmed death.
US officials have been complaining about the planned quran burning all week, with the Pentagon calling the Florida pastor to warn him that he had better not go through with it. Still, the “threat” it poses to American troops likely pales in comparison to the threat these continued civilian killings pose.
NATO has promised an investigation into today’s killing, but has so far declined to identify the nationality of the soldiers who attacked the rally. If they turn out to be German troops, however, this will likely spark another ****ive controversy over the war in Germany, which is still reeling from its soldiers’ involvement in the ****ive Kunduz death toll.

They can all rally together to protest us, but these dumb hadjis can form a working government or infrastructure.

Obama would love to bring those german troops over here to go door to door confiscating our guns at gunpoint...Obama will just hand them a list of every American with a registered firearm and send them out to collect the guns. Just like they did in New Orleans but they will be foreign soldiers...We may need to resurrect the WOLVERINES!

I knew it was only a matter of time. Like I've said, this will cause more hostility than most anything else in the past. But why would they shoot at the crowd for throwing rocks? They know this won't go over well. Now the radicals are going to go completely hostile and it will have to be a bloody battle to calm things down.
