Pakistani Students Protest Mohammad Cartoons — And Besiege Fast Food Chains
Don’t let the Western-style private school uniforms fool you.
Reuters reports: “Police used tear gas to drive out students who stormed into Islamabad’s diplomatic enclave on Tuesday and protesters attacked Western businesses in Pakistan’s most violent reaction yet to cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.”
In the eastern city of Lahore, police fired tear gas, shot into the air and baton-charged protesters who ransacked a McDonald’s franchise and set fire to outlets of KFC and Norwegian mobile phone firm Telenor, witnesses said.
Demonstrators set dozens of vehicles on fire and about 2,000 staged a sit-in near the provincial assembly, where a small fire broke out briefly. Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Khan Sherpao said guards at a bank that came under attack shot dead two men.
Protesters also hurled stones at a Holiday Inn hotel, Western-owned filling stations and a Pizza Hut outlet.
Kids will be kids. Even when they’re violent, radical Islamists.

Michelle Malkin: “Next, they came for KFC”
