Protests and Riots in Pakistan over Anti-Islamic Movie

Ever since the word about the anti-Islamic movie spread, Muslims all over the world have been protesting, full of anger and fury. Pakistan has been witnessing growing numbers of unexpected strikes and holidays for supposedly 'peaceful protests.' But what is really happening is that we are destroying our own country, burning tires, looting stores and killing people. We are making ourselves a laughing stock for the world. Just how is violence, that too against our own people, going to make a difference? The blasphemous movie has been made, we can't change that. We can protest peacefully, but killing our own people is doing nothing other than further damaging the image of Muslims worldwide. We need to stop. Strikes and holidays only means damaging our economy even more by shutting down all businesses and educational institutes. It's time that our people realize just what they are doing, before it's too late. I really hope they do.
