Fit(na)s and Starts.
Headbands for the glory of the prophet. 
Over 25,000 Pakistanis rage at Fitna in "The Glory of the Prophet March". " They call this freedom of expression, but it's freedom of aggression!" Effigies of all the usual suspects, Geert, W and Pervez were hung and fricasseed. US and Pakistani flags were burned. Stylish headbands were worn. They said: "We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the sanctity of our prophet." We say, "Right on, Mo-bro."
In Iran, The Harry Reid of Persia wants a boycott. He states that "the sacrilege of Islamic sanctities" is the ugliest kind of cultural onslaught and violation of human rights." Then goes on to complain about "The Western countries are making optimum use of books, films, animations and their media to weaken beliefs of Muslims and to insult Islamic sanctities." (In other words, 'The jig's up Islamos!' Sounds to me like we're getting those Islamosuckers on the cyber-run. Keep up the good work, possums!)
Beyond Fitna: A documentary-style expose of American Trash Journalist Bill O'Reilly's militant calls for violent demonstrations and reprisals against "unbelievers" who dare to oppose his dogma?
"The documentary recycles film clips from crimes committed by extremist Christians under the inspirations of the said Bible teachings, and aims to provide a response to the allegations made by Pope Benedict XVI, who called Islam a religion of violence after misunderstanding certain Organic verses."
Who's looking out for you rock and roll hootchie koo. Game on. Let's hope that FNC will truly engage on this and bloviate all across America. I'm serious. Wake up the masses, baby. Hearing that: "FARS reports the film makers also will include segments on FOX News' Bill O'Reilly" makes me think they will be all over this like a cheap suit.
IRNA spins, Tehran students yawn. Xinhua lets China's mask slip. 70 (or 40 - depending on reports) Students of Tehran Universities stage rally outside the Dutch Embassy to protest against a controversial anti-Islamic film made by a Dutch lawmaker. Chanting slogans such as "Dutch ambassador to Iran should be expelled," the students condemned the release of the film and called for the closure of Dutch companies including Shell and Phillips in Iran, the official IRNA news agency reported.
And Xinhua lets China's True feelings be known on the subject through the words of it's article: "Mohammad Sadeq Shahbazi, a representative of the protesting students, said the imperialists are always trying to harm Muslim countries and "the global arrogance has tried to show its hostility against Islam over the past years. Today is no more the time for the reign of the superpowers and we, the students, will not be idle confronting the domestic and the foreign enemies."
Eggs and stones were thrown.
(0n another more gruesome note. If you had any question where China is coming down on this - Xinhua seems to be making a habit of publishing coffin pics of 'Palestinian dead children". Warning. Click at your own risk.)
