Now the enraged Muslim protestors are taking it out on the Colonel! What did those chickens do to you anyway? Well, it looks like lashing out against anything American is "in style" in the Middle East right now. Oh, and help me to understand again what Pakistan is so mad at the U.S. about? Are those hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid we send for free just not enough? Should the U.S. just pack up and get out?

MONEY.CNN.COM reports:
Yum! Brands is shuttering all of its KFC franchises in Pakistan in the wake of anti-American protests there, after one of its KFC restaurants was attacked in Lebanon last week.

    As a Lib, i know this will sound racist... So I am sorry.



    I can't stand "Middle Eastern Culture" -------------------> .



    Hate to throw the baby out with the bath water but I think they worship a pedophile who they believe is a prophet. I would never be rude to anyone Muslim person on the streets or insult them to their face, but I truly feel it is a vile religion.

    P.S. I'm an Atheist... I hate all religion.
  • Maggy Buoyant... 2012/09/23 00:42:48

    Well Buoyant Leadraft, I feel sorry for your soul which will take you to Hell when you pass away because of your Hate for all Religions and your being an Atheist. Your religion supports Satan and if your religion prays, they most likely pray to Satan, who is leading his followers down the wrong road which ends in the fiery furnaces of Hell ! Of course you will have lots of company in Hell. You will be sharing Hell with some big wig people like Barack Obama and others who do not support God and Jesus

    I guess if you stay with the regligous convictions you now have, you are not going to have a Happy and Wonderful Life, for all eternity, when you are roasting in Hell! So, you have a lot to think about and alot to reconsider when it comes to choosing Jesus over Satan!

    Because if you have chose and accept Satan and not Jesus who is the Son of God and who is in total control of this world, you have just picked yourself a Miserable Afterlife for all eternity! Before you make anymore dumb and stupid choices I recommend that you start talking to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died on the cross to get you this far in life and to save your sorry ass from an eternity in Hell, which is where you are heading now!

    "Atheist" isn't a religion. Atheists don't believe in Satan. Atheists don't have any religious convictions.

    If you have seen the stupid awful video that they are so enraged about " innonence of muslims"...well at this point it appears to be a pretty acurate video ...even as pitiful a film clip as it is....as far as portraying them as being a blood thirsty Barbaric.... at least some of them....why in the world do they even give a crap what anyone else thinks of them or their religion...why is it important to them for people they dont like anyhow to accept their god...and dont they have enough faith in their god to understand that god doesnt need their help in killing anyone
