CHAMAN: Thousands of people rallied against Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip near the Afghan border on Friday, cheering support for Al Qaeda's Osama Bin Laden, police said.
The rally in Chaman was organised by the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and was the biggest yet in Pakistan against the Israeli campaign in Gaza, which has killed hundreds of Palestinians. "Our estimate is that there were more than 3,000 people at the rally," local police station chief Abul Latif said. "Long live Osama Bin Laden," protesters chanted as they marched through the town, carrying placards that read: "Jihad is the only treatment for Israel," "Stop killing innocent people in Palestine" and "Stop atrocities against Muslims".
They also chanted "Death to Israel, death to America and death to Britain". Local party leader Maulvi Hanif told the crowd, "Muslim countries should shut down the embassies of the US and Israel, and declare jihad against Israel." "The silence of the United Nations over the atrocities being committed against Muslims shows that it is a surrogate of America, Israel and Britain," he said
I thought the title said “Protesters cheer Obama at anti-Israel rally”.

Me, too — I was halfway thru the article before I realized my mistake.
It’s a scary day when you can mistake the POTUS-elect for the world’s most notorious muslim terrorist.
ROFL - That’s exactly what my mind saw as well! And, it made perfect sense, too!
add me to that list as well.
Yep, add me too. It just seemed so - well, natural.
