http://www.necn.com/Boston/World/Demonstrators-in-Afghanistan-burn-Danish-and-Dutch-flags/1204463851.htmlAlright, there were also danish flags set ablaze, but I am focusing on the dutch flags for now, as you all very well know my nationality.
As for the movie. The movie critisicing the Quran is made by a dutch politician wich somehow managed to get 9 seats in our parliament, called
Geert Wilders (Doesn't he look like someone familiar?) , and is one of the main reasons I plan on emigrating. There is much upheavel about the movie. Many politicians say it should never be broadcasted, and possibly be banned (And that doesn't happen often, the only political works I can recall that have been banned were made by Hitler), fearing that the movie will lead to the degrading of relationships with many countries (and possibly terrorist-attacks, there is actually a real threat now, and not just a way to get re-elected). Already, many countries have protested agains the Netherlands. Geert Wilders said that although the Parliament may fear the Islam and surrender to them, he never will.
The link is not very descriptive compared to what I heard on the radio:
1. The dutch flag was painted Red-White-Purple.
2. Many of the protestors, according to one of the teachers there, had never seen the danish images. None of them has seen the dutch movie (or how most of the goverment thinks about it). Neither has anyone in the Netherlands, as it has not been broadcasted yet. But then again, Geert Wilders has never seen a Muslim.

Oh well, feel free to discuss, and please dig up some more news links.
