KARACHI, Pakistan — More than 25,000 people rallied Sunday in the largest protest in Pakistan so far against an anti-Koran film made by a Dutch lawmaker, urging their government to expel the Netherlands ambassador.
"They call this freedom of expression, but it's freedom of aggression," keynote speaker Munawwar Hasan, a leader of the main Islamic party Jamat-e-Islami, told the crowd as it chanted "God is great."
The 15-minute film by Geert Wilders, which sets verses from the Muslim holy book against a background of violent images from terror attacks, was released in March. It has sparked weekly protests in Pakistan, usually drawing hundreds of people after prayers on Friday, the Muslim holy day.

But police officer Syed Suleman estimated Sunday's crowd at 25,000, while organizers claimed more than 100,000 people turned out.
Wearing head bands inscribed "We are ready to sacrifice our lives for the sanctity of the prophet," they marched for two kilometers (more than a mile), then gathered on Karachi's main street to listen to speeches.

All movements united in hatred sow the seeds of their own destruction.
Mel Gibson gave us graphic violence as the background for the story of Jesus in the Bible, and yet it was very popular with Christians.
So, it’s not the graphic violence that is the problem, is it?
It’s who is being violent, and why.

Wilders is gutsy.
Also, the New Testament never urges anybody to go out and kill. And long before the time of Jesus, the violent parts of the Old Testament were being interpreted metaphorically by Jewish scholars. This has never happened with the Koran, which is not only taken literally (the verses Wilders used are simply from among the many verses that are chanted incitements to violence and hatred), but is not even supposed to be translated out of its original Arabic.
I hope we find other ways to download this (other formats). The muzzies have spammed YouTube with pro-mad mo stuff to try and bury the film.
Yes, they’d definitely like to kill him for showing the truth. Which would prove his point. He does have guts; I’ll say that.
We have to copy this to everybody we know.
What’s hard to figure is why they deny it in the first place and then threaten the very same action if you reveal it. Lunatics.
Nice yello headbands, reminds me of John Belushi’s bee skit
or vice versa.
I wish that more westerners were standing up in defiance.
Well for goodness sake Islamofacist supporting protesters, do it. Talk is cheap, let's get your hate filled murdering prophet sanctified NOW!
Keep sending the Google video link to your friends and family. Download it if you can. The further we spread this, the more that will be educated.
Yet I see when I work over at the Barnes and Nobles in the religion secton English language versions of the Koran in the Muslim section.
The problem is that the Koran and the ranting imprecations of Imams that it inspires are correctly and truthfully exposed in that film. Telling the truth about Islam is being castigated as “anti-Islamic” and “anti-Koran.”
“To me it seems certain that the fatalistic teachings of Muhammad and the utter degradation of women is the outstanding cause for the arrested development of the Arab. He is exactly as he was around the year 700, while we have kept on developing”
— General George S. Patton: The War as I Knew it, 1974, p.49
The Koran has been translated, but theoretically, a good Muslim is supposed to learn it in Arabic. Many of them memorize the verses in Arabic, even though they do not understand them.
"More than 25,000 raging Muslims turned out in Pakistan today, burning effigies and flags and screaming for blood, to show how much they resent being portrayed as uncontrollable violent madmen"
