Couple of days ago US preacher Jerry Falwell made some remarks about the Prophet Mohammed.

He compared him to a "terrorist" or some " killer" or whatever.

Nothing happened here in USA. Some protests ...some shock ..its all quiet now.

Look what happened 7000 miles apart in India.

5 people killed .......in violence regarding his comments. WTH ??????????

What do they care ....hell most of them there do not even know what or who a Preacher is .. forget Jerry or Perry.
How they bothered with his remarks ? And how can 5 people die on something said by a lame nobody person 7 oceans apart ?

Five killed in Indian sectarian violence
By Charles Haviland
BBC correspondent in Delhi



Five people have been killed in India during a protest against remarks made by US preacher Jerry Falwell about the Prophet Mohammed.

Two of those killed died in police gunfire during the violence in the western town of Solapur which degenerated into sectarian clashes between Muslims and Hindus.

Falwell called the prophet a terrorist

It has become clear that the protests in Solapur were much more violent than earlier police reports suggested.

Two people died when police opened fire on crowds of angry demonstrators - three more were killed in stabbing incidents.

The crowds had gathered in this textile town 450 kilometres (280 miles) south-east of Bombay to protest at last weekend's remarks by Reverend Falwell.

In a television interview he described the Prophet Mohammed as a "terrorist" and a "man of war".

Police sources said the crowd in Solapur suddenly started throwing stones and setting vehicles and shops on fire, then the security forces had started firing.

Other protests

The violence took on a sectarian nature, setting Muslims against Hindus.

The police sources said there were incidents of sectarian violence in the town since the morning but these are now said to have stopped.

A curfew has now been imposed in some neighbourhoods.

In Bombay several hundred people staged another demonstration against the comments by the controversial Baptist preacher, but it went off peacefully.



Hey I think we have just discovered a new way of destabilising other nations. Not war. Not nukes.

We just let our Revs and Church clergy speak against some moslem leaders.

Rest of the world will kill each other on their comments ..this cracks me up real good
