Bahraini Shiites Protest in Anger over Iraq Shrine Bombings

Shiites in Bahrein “marched through the streets of the capital Manama Wednesday night in protest over the bombings at Iraq’s Golden Mosque.”

The pro-peace and anti-terrorism protestors shouted: “No to Terrorism”. Sadly, their second favorite slogan was “Death to America.”

One can of course only wonder how they hope to accomplish the second without using the first, but doing so would be arguing about semantics I am sure.
