Happy Al-Quds Day 2009!
"Down whit USA! Down whit ISRAEL!"
What better way to celebrate the long and distinguished* ties between Jerusalem and the Islamic world than to burn the American flag?

* Yes, I'm being sarcastic.
On a serious note, there appears to be some pretty heavy protesting in Iran right now. Opposition parties are reportedly chanting "DEATH TO RUSSIA" again, in defiance of the dictatorship's preferred American and Israeli whipping boys. Not sure how heavy things are going to get over there, but it's obvious from here that the Iranian people blame the Obama Administration for their continued oppression.
I hope all of you supposedly Democratic-leaning Americans are proud of that.
In any case, I'll be adding the best of the worst photos to this thread, so please do stay tuned for more!
Kashmir:
"Stop Killing Innocent Palestinians!" Especially the innocent ones that hide weapons inside of their families' houses.
Iraq:
All the pretty ladies with all their pretty signs. Seriously, this could be a Ryan Seacrest fan club for all we know!
And it's a bad representation at that.
Turkey:
Peace through hurling deadly rocks at people? A novel approach, for sure.
"Chant Islamic slogans," huh? "We All Scream For Ice Cream?" "Bush Lied, Puppies Died?" There are no answers here; only questions.
Syria:
Nothing says you love your children quite like parading them around in the street in praise of murderous terror groups.
Or dress them up in bedsheets. (Hey wait a minute, I thought that's what we Republicans did!)
Soccer moms, Syrian-style?
The Toddlers in Support of Death to the Jews Division.
It's not a cake. Too bad!
Lebanon:
Wow - Hezbullah sure is acting pretty brazen these days. Guess they're taking advantage of the UN's "neutrality" in the matter, eh?
The Gomer Pyle corps, reporting for duty.
More on them as soon as Daylife catches up to the Reuters feed.
Iran:
As I've said before, I don't recognize the copyright claims of terrorist nations. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I present the following heartwarming snapshots directly from the rogue Nation of Iran, in full copyright-busting form! (For those of you who don't remember old Snapped Shot, click the photo below to embiggen, and then click on the enlarged photo to browse through the whole collection.)
Another peaceful Iranian protest. Nope, no violence here whatsoever.
DOWN WITH USA. At least they spelled this one right.
The wymyn's section. I wonder what NOW's opinion of gender-segregated protests is? I'm guessing that they think it's a wonderful thing, judging by how "liberated" these wymyn look....
Is that photograph Photoshopped in? I doubt it, but it sure does look fishy from here.
DOWN WITH ISRAEL. DOWN WITH USA. DOWN WITH MONAFEGH. Down with the O.P.P.? Shockingly absent.
An anti-dictatorship protester? One can only hope.
I think we've found this year's Jihadi Idol. He looks so passionate.
Bon Jovi e-mailed to say that he has no comment on this one.
More anti-regime protesters.
The most disturbing outfit I've ever seen. Shudder.
The pro-regime women just don't cut it for me.
Yeah, that's not tiring. Seriously. Reducti ad Hitlerum. Who do you think you are? Charles Johnson?
This one's a looker. I think.
Whoa! Hubba hubba! Ace, you planning any trips to Iran anytime soon?
Palestinian Terror-tories:
Wow! An appearance by George Clooney? What an honor!
Everybody's favorite idiot!
I dare say, this photo right here just might be rrrrrraaaacist. Maybe.
This dude's hat stinks. It's not even remotely cool.
Pakistan:
You get an "F" for e"F"fort.
We get it. DOWN WITH O.P.P. Seriously, guys - that song hasn't been cool in years.
DOWN WITH ISRAIL. Heh.
STOP THE PRESSES! The AP describes this picture thusly:
Okay, so burning George W. Bush in effigy isn't the most timely thing they could do -- but wait! What's that bottom word on the dummy?
"OBAM"... is all I can see. Which would definitely explain the giant ears and... well... Ethno-centric hair.
Man, who would've guessed that Pakistani terror-supporters could be so rrrrrrraaacist!
Somebody get Charles Johnson on the phone.
Afghanistan:
Nothing extremist here. All kids dress like this. Seriously. This isn't abusive in the least.
Silly gramps.
"Stop Killing Innocent Palestinians!" Especially the innocent ones that hide weapons inside of their families' houses.

A regular festival of love and peace.
Daddy's little hater!
Ditto.
It takes a village......
Even Grampa's getting in on the action.
