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: Over 25,000 Pakistanis Rally Against Anti-Koran Film, Prophet Cartoons.

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.

Religion of peace!
