Strange (troublesome) news from Afghanistan

I hadn't heard this before now but apparently that loony tunes pastor from Florida who was threatening a bonfire of Korans a few months ago actually burnt one a couple of weeks ago.

My guess is the reason why I hadn't heard about it until now is that the news media very sensibly did not give the matter much attention if any.

In any case news of this event did somehow find its way to Afghanistan with the consequence four Gurkhas, a Norwegian, a Swede and a Romainian, all working for the UN have lost their lives.

What any of these people had to do with nutty Floridian Pastors is a mystery to all.

But then logic has never been a strong point of mobs.
