Huh, forgot there was a Green Zone.
Sweden & Denmark - can't you just come up with an half-way decent excuse and not allow these Quran burning until Sweden actually gets voted in? Afterwards, burn all you want. Freedom of speech is obviously important but this Quran burning free speech is irrelevant when we're talking about the future security of a country.
Protesters try to storm Baghdad's Green Zone over the burning of Quran and Iraqi flag in Denmark | AP News
Quote:
Hundreds of protesters attempted to storm Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses foreign embassies and the seat of Iraq’s government, early Saturday following reports an ultranationalist group burned a copy of the Quran in front of the Iraqi Embassy in Copenhagen.
Security forces pushed back protesters, who blocked the Jumhuriya bridge leading to the Green Zone, preventing them from reaching the Danish Embassy.
The protest came two days after people angered by the planned burning of the Islamic holy book in Sweden stormed the Swedish Embassy in Baghdad. Protesters occupied the diplomatic post for several hours, waving flags and signs showing the influential Iraqi Shiite cleric and political leader Muqtada al-Sadr, and setting a small fire. The embassy staff had been evacuated a day earlier.
