UNITED NATIONS — Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Tuesday said the production of an anti-Islam film and publication of cartoons perceived as insulting to Muslims cannot be justified as freedom of speech or expression, but that they also must not be used as an excuse for violence.
“The world is shaken by the depravity of fanatics who have committed acts of insult against the faith of over 1.5 billion Muslims,” Mr. Karzai told the U.N. General Assembly.
“We strongly condemn these offensive acts, whether it involves the production of a film, the publication of cartoons, or indeed any other acts of insult and provocation,” he added.
The low-budget film that mocks Islam’s prophet Muhammad was produced in the U.S. President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton have condemned it, as did several world leaders who addressed the U.N. session on Tuesday. Mr. Obama, too, focused a large part of his address earlier in the day on the film and the deadly protests that followed in the Muslim world. Four Americans, including Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, have been killed in the violence.
Mr. Karzai said the production of the film and publication of cartoons lampooning the prophet can “never be justified as freedom of speech or expression.”
“Equally, they cannot give reason for the genuine protests to be used to incite violence and chaos with terrible losses of innocent lives,” he added.
The Afghan leader expressed concern over “the menace of Islamophobia,” which he described as a “worrying phenomenon that threatens peace and coexistence among cultures and civilizations.”

Are these “leaders” really this childish?
From the WSJ:"Most Afghans learned about the Quran burning in Florida only when Mr. Karzai on March 24 (4 days after!) condemned the act as "a crime against the religion and the entire Muslim nation," called on the U.S. and the U.N. to bring the perpetrators to justice and demanded "a satisfactory response to the resentment and anger of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world."
1.5 billion. That number needs to be reduced. Significantly.
The day we leave he flees or dies.

Yes, they can. It's part of free speech. If he doesn't like it he doesn't have to listen.
We have freedom of speech. Karzai doesn't.
Fine.
Karzai needs to unhook every piece of technology that was NOT invented by Muslims.
That should solve the problem of anyone over there hearing about anything we do over here. Then everyone will be happy.
When I think of Karzai I think of GWB’s first State of the Union Address in 2002 when Karzai was a guest of honor seated next to Mrs. Bush.
“Islam is a ROP”, Bush blurted and most in the audience jumped to their feet and had an erection.
I slumped back in my chair and I knew then that, we as a country, were in deep sh*t.

Actually, the recent events have shown that it is far from being a phobia. Was it a phobia for ambassador Stevens to be afraid? That hero ended up dead, in the name of Allah!
Violent, deadly riots rock Arab countries again
