No Good Deed Department

The U.S. is being criticized (once again) by Afghan mullahs for being insensitive to muslims.

In an effort to provide Afghan children with something to help brighten their day, U.S. forces dropped soccer balls from a helicopter for the children to collect and use for a little entertainment in their otherwise wretched, medieval lives.

Unfortunately, the balls, sporting flags from many nations, depicted the Saudi Arabian flag that contains the name of Allah. It seems that it is blasphemous to put Allah's name on something one will be kicking around with one's foot. Who knew?

Anyhow, not wanting to miss an opportunity to complain about America, "Mullahs in Afghanistan criticised the US forces for their insensitivity, and around 100 people held a demonstration in Khost."

What insult to muslims will the Great Satan come up with next?

Ever heard of anyone staging a public protest of muslims who (frequently and intentionally) insult western beliefs?
