well



Solomon Rushdie lived to tell another tale. Pakistan's been a hornet's nest of ethnic tensions since forever.



Has it at least settled down in Europe?



On a brighter note...

Muslims praise Canada



OTTAWA (CP) - A coalition of Muslim groups is congratulating Canadians for their non-violent response to cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.



The group says the Canadian response was unique in that it struck a balance between freedom of expression and protecting people from hate and racism. Group spokeswoman Tyseer Aboulnasr also praised Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay for emphasizing responsible expression while condemning the violent reaction to the cartoons in other countries.



In Pakistan, a cleric has announced a $1-million US bounty for killing the cartoonist who drew the caricatures.



Five people have been killed in Pakistan this week during protests against the cartoons.



In Denmark, where the prophet drawings were first published in September, the government said it had temporarily closed its embassy in Pakistan following the violent protests this week.

Rioters torch Italian consulate, Libyan officials say



11 reported dead or wounded




TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) -- Libyans protesting the Prophet Mohammed cartoons set fire to the Italian consulate in Benghazi on Friday in a riot that left 11 people dead or wounded, Libyan security officials said.



An Italian consular official, Antonio Simoes-Concalves, said nine protesters had been killed and several more had been wounded as armed police clashed with a crowd of more than 1,000 demonstrators.



Libyan state television showed a part of the consulate building on fire, and firefighters trying to extinguish it.



The Italian Foreign Ministry confirmed that the first floor of the building had been set on fire after the crowd charged into the grounds of the consulate late Friday. In a statement in Rome, the ministry said the consulate was being protected by Libyan security forces.



Libyan television also showed ambulances taking casualties away from the scene and five cars that were severely damaged in the riot.



Security officials said the demonstrators hurled stones and bottles at the consulate, and later entered the grounds and set fire to the building and a consular car.



Police fired shots to try to disperse the crowd, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the press.



Simoes-Goncalves told The Associated Press in Rome that the Libyan police were not able to control the crowd, even though they were firing bullets and tear gas.



"They are still continually firing," he said at 2100 GMT, speaking on the telephone from inside the consulate where he was holed up. "They haven't managed to block them."



He said the rioters had torched four cars in the consulate compound and also broke windows of the building.



No Italians inside the compound were injured, the Italian Foreign Ministry said.

Uttar Pradesh is the most lawless state in India. Its called Ulta Pradesh (upside down state) for a reason. Stands to reason a bloody politician from there would come up with this @#%$.



The muslim fanatics in India are quite a few too, but the largely peaceful Sunni community outweigh them, thank God, and I doubt anyone wants a repeat of the partition.



Gujarat is another fanatic state run by a maniac- but there its the Hindu nationalists.
