5,000 eight to 12-year olds call for death to the Mohammed cartoonists

Filed under: World Scene by Mac Powell at 7:41 am CST

The latest from Pakistan:

Thousands of children chanting “Hang those who insulted the Prophet” have taken part in a rally against cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

Around 5,000 youngsters - mainly aged eight to 12 and some in school uniform - marched in Karachi.

They also torched a coffin draped in US, Israeli and Danish flags at a traffic intersection in the port city as police in riot gear looked on.

The rally was organized by Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan’s largest Islamic group.

Children, wearing headbands emblazoned with God is great, were released from schools and Islamic seminaries to take part. [Source]
