How dare he take out the beheadings, stonings, child rape and executions, those are the best parts!...
JALALABAD, Afghanistan (AFP) - More than 1,000 university students demonstrated in eastern Afghanistan Sunday to demand the death penalty for an official accused of insulting the Koran, police and witnesses said.
The attorney general's spokesman, former journalist Mohammad Ghaws Zalmai, was arrested at the Pakistan border a week ago trying to flee after being accused of misinterpreting the Muslim holy book in a new translation.
"Death to Ghaws Zalmai!" shouted the angry mob in the eastern town of Jalalabad, an AFP reporter in the crowd said. "We want him hanged!"
"He has insulted our religion and must be killed," the group said.
The conservative parliament last week banned Zalmai from leaving the country days after the distribution of about 6,000 copies of his Dari-language translation, called "Koran-i-Pak" or "clean Koran".
A commission of clerics and prosecutors is examining the text, which does not include the original Arab verses and is said to differ on several issues, including homosexuality and adultery.

The irony of it. How dare someone make Islam more peaceful.
I still stand by my stance that Islam can not be reformed. Try to make it more peaceful and you get death threats. Islam is an abomination on mankind.

Should be forwarded to every Muslim apologist in the world.
There is such a shitstorm in the center of this "religion" that the winds of peace can have no noticeable effect.
The first victims of extremist Islam will always be those Muslims who actually are peaceful. This before they get on to the rest of us.
