Indonesian's protest Barack Obama's visit

[webbway]

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Scores of Islamic students staged protests outside Jakarta's parliament and in at least three other major Indonesian cities on Friday against President Barack Obama's upcoming visit to this predominantly Muslim country.

The students carried banners branding Obama as an enemy of Islam and an imperialist in downtown Jakarta as well as in the provincial capitals Padang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya.

They also threw shoes at large pictures of Obama's head. An Iraqi journalist was sentenced to a year in prison for throwing his shoes at U.S. President George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in 2008.

Protest organizer Ahmad Irhamul Fikri, spokesman for the Coordinating Board for Campus Proselytizing Institute, said bigger rallies will be staged next Friday in more Indonesian cities ahead of Obama's March 20-22 visit.

First they take down his statue, now this. Those crazy mulims hate Obama just as much as Bush.

There goes the hope that his election would change the 'world's' opinion of US.

"Scores"?? Man, you really love Bush don't you? It's like he's your boyfriend or something, and you feel compelled to defend him with with all your heart and soul. Bizarre.

I don't think Webbway, aka Bush-Lover, knew that a "score" is equal to twenty.

The 'score' was from AP, he just quoted it. For the diversionary topic though.

Crypress, the defender of Obama. How dare I post anything bad about the light skinned negro that talks with no negro dialect. Your chosen one is no longer loved, and he has only been in office a little over a year and already hated by most Americans, now we can add the SCORES of crazy muslims to the list.

Hey WebbwayKKK, your sheet is showing.




This was your own assertion, from the OP:

WebbwayKKK: "First they take down his statue, now this. Those crazy mulims hate Obama just as much as Bush!"

"Just as much", huh?

"Scores of Indoneisans" protesting obama is less than a hundred people.

"Thousands of Indonesians" protesting bush, in standard english lexicon, is like three to four thousand people.

You were the one that wanted to use protests as a metric on indonesian anti-americanism.

So, by YOUR OWN metric - by your own standard of measurement - Indonesian angst against the US had dropped like 30 or fourty-fold, since your hero Bush was retired in shame.


Continue worshipping at your Shrine to Bush. My work is done here.

LOL

Based on this limited sample, Annie?

Fact is, opinion of America has improved in general around the globe. Sorry about that...

Indonesia isn't representative of the entire world.
