The first photograph shows children holding the placard. What an unfortunate scene showing involvement of children in political and religious matters they do not understand.

How difficult is it to ignore things? Nobody's forcing Charlie Hedbo on anyone, these are cartoons that are bought by those interested in seeing them. If there's a movie that I believe will insult my intellect or anything dear to me, I wont watch it.

This is real Pakistan.

@Naman those aren't childern, they're students and they know perfectly well who they are standing up for

Any protests in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar? The rich Arabs don't care and are busy buying French fashion products. Pakistan is the most Islamic country in the world it seems, so much anger in our people.

With so many religious fanatics in its fold, Pakistan has a long road ahead of it towards becoming a progressive nation.

@Asma I agree with you.

If the people in the first picture are students, they certainly don't know how to spell.

@Tariq and you certainly know how to spell.

Did you notice the wrongly spelt placards!

Why would someone in agitation against Charlie Hebdo carry placard saying "Release Mumtaz Qadri" who is a criminal, a murderer (sentenced by court of law)??

Shame on us. Not a month has passed and again the extremist elements are back peddling their wares. Mumtaz qadri is a cold blooded murderer, and should be treated as such. And more so he is a terrorist. Remember who the enemy is.

Well done pakistan proud of u the real voice is urs. .

First picture - one demand seems to be freedom for M Qadri!

hmmm....all this even after Peshawar. Only Lord Ram can save this country.

@Asma - those aren't childern, they're students - what does that even mean ?? childrens are children irrespective of whether they are studying/students or not.. i agree with @Naman. They should be kept out of things which are beyond their wisdom.. kids are usually told to do certain things, doesnt mean they know what they are doing... and this is such a controversial subject that each and every person thinks he knows all about it and what he needs to do to keep its pride.

@Naman sad hebdo didnot have knowledge of Mohammad(pbuh) and the love of muslims for him or they purposely did this to strike basic foundation of islam----both ways it is wrong to hurt feelings of so many people all over the world ---as pope said it rightly---there are limits to freedom of anykind be it speech

@HZR who ever you are but you have inferiority complex as you have surrendered yourself to wrong western culture of hypocrisy as hebdo dont have courage to make cartoons of genocide----it is bad to mock any religion----anti mohammad is as bad as anti semitism

Now I no longer doubt the prediction of 'clash of civilization'

@Khalid - I only wish - Keep it up Pakistan !

these are not fanatics - just simple people showing their emotions - as did the French in what they believe in. Only difference is that French are hypocrites - they stand for the freedom to insult Islam but jail a comedian for anti-Semitism and ban muslim women to wear hijab in public institutions.

In first picture a placard says We want Mumtaz Qadri Release at once. Should'nt it read we want Mumtaz Qadri hanged at once?

We love our Prophet (saw) and we will never ever tolerate any kinde of attack on our beloved Prophet Mohammed (saw) or on islam, even if it's disguised as freedom of speech.

What a shame. We are doing this in the name of Islam. Our Prophet didn't even say a word when rubbish was thrown at him and we claim to be his followers by burning, causing destruction to properties in his name. I wonder where do these people get the time to demonstrate like this by disrupting the lives of their fellow citizens. Looks like majority of the participants are children. Who asked them to leave their studies to come out for this demonstration?. The world is laughing at Pakistan and Pakistanis and we are just happy wasting our time in these activities.

@khan And the stupidest people too, as they seem to have nothing to do, even when they are suffering from economic downturn. By the way, staffers at Charlie Hebdo were murdered in cold blood - do these protesters say even one word of condemnation for their killers? And one banner asked for the release of the killer Qadri - why should a murderer be released??

@Asma Do there really know that? Or are they blindly following orders from their teachers?

Give them French visa/immigration then see

Get over it!

@Asma I doubt that.

Wow, you guys are really talented when it comes to burning flags (as if that country cares). We really aren't offended, burn as many as you like, its freedom of speech!

why do we muslims need a special treatment?

why do we muslims want a special treatment

@Asma Really. Being born into some religion makes a child completely understand and love a person they never met. It's all indoctrination in our children. Not natural. Brainwashed and discouraged to explore, that's what these children or any other religion indoctrinated children are.

@Owais Read my response to Asma. Get out of the fog.

It's an expression of their rights how they feel about certain things. They're 100% within their rights. And this takes every day's problem off their minds.

@khan Be proud of that 'being most Islamic Nation' norm mate.

They're expressing their views, feelings, why should any body be up set? Isn't it their right?

One thing, not a singe female protester.

@Shahzad . Do you have a brain.

Tabloids, like Charlie Hebdo, and its ilk, which thrive on sensationalism, have no place in decent society. Shame on France!

@Naman Dear we should appreciate their and admire their courage these children are great example for us that they are portraying for the cause in the streets unlike us who doesn't even bother to condemn against the blasphemy act... No offence but I feel pity for you buddy . Yesterday Punjab Police beaten children in Lahore who were protesting won't you like to say anything for that bro...

I salute lovers of Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon Him)

They could have avoided printing the Prophet's picture...but then this is not the first time, nor is it going to be the last. These kind of protests staged in Pakistan or any other country will have no impact whatsoever on the countries which permit such acts. Also, one has to realize that each country has its own values and practises. For instance if one wants to take the Holy book of Christians , Hindus or any other religion into Saudi Arabia, they simply tear off such books at the airport itself. Nobody complains or protests because that is how the Saudis are ! So if Christians, Hindus and others..if they can't accept it, please stay away from Saudi Arabia. Similarly if Muslims can't accept the " freedom of speech" prevailing in countries like France, Denmark etc , then simply stay away from these countries . Just go back to the country from where you came ! Isn't that fair ?

Respect and Love of Hazrat MUHAMMAD Sallallaho Alahae Waalahe Wassallam is Musalman's Iman / Faith. Whoever honour is successful,otherwise he/she needs to be learned.

@Naman Naman what you should understand is that like Charlie , these people also has right to speak what they feel.

@brmurr So you felt in heart if not offended. besides all these students of madrasaz picture, should I taught to my son that "freedom of speech" means "abuse" any one.

Religious obsession...Major reason behind Pakistan's Downfall..

They burn down their own country in spite, to send a message to the world?

Only God can help this nation, I bet most of the protesters would emigrate to France given the chance - hypocrites, it is a shame that such mindless idiots are becoming Pakistan's identity to the outside world - The prophet would NEVER have condoned terrorism as a means to protect and sustain his reputation. These protesters are a curse on Islam.

In Pakistan no one come out to the street when there is no food, no petrol and diesel and no safety. I think no one can save this nation other then the people of Pakistan. Until people change the country will never change.

Being a Muslim, we can understand that how frustrating is this that someone makes joke on our religion. But there's another question arises same time in my mind, that if we truly love our Prohet(P.B.U.H) then why our acts not showing the resemblance, shadows, (Teaching) of our beloved Prophet?

@Naman Children understands more than some adults do

why they are not coming out to protest for isis, boko, laskar brutality?

This is freedom of expression, but I think children should keep away from this. This is an obvious reaction by people from country like Pakistan. After seeing charlie's cartoons, I condemn such act. There should be some limitations for freedom of expression. Even in India there was one stupid old man who was used to paint picture of Hindu Goddess. Art and Freedom of expression should have limitations. These two people Charlie and M.F Hussain, they never had respect for their own religion, otherwise they would have never drawn such cartoon or pic. As compare to Charlie, Hussain was lucky, he was in India. He never faced physical attack.

Looking at theses faces I am sure Pakistan has a dreadful future.

Things does not look good in pakistan in near future. All these people looks to be hardliner type.

Is there any other Islamic Counrty where these kind of Anti-Charlier protests are being held..

@Naman what a childish comment you wrote dear. you would have a different opinion if you had understood the reason this protest.

@Imran Bhatti Really? Clash of cultures, I suppose. I firmly believe that children should be kept away from religion until the age of 18. But then again, I grew up in a secular country, and not a theocratic state. All I can do is to wish you and your country good luck for the future.

@sam shafi ask them to show emotions for boko, isis, lashkar brutalities, that will help. Cartoon etc is peace of paper..ignore

@M.Malik dont read that magazine but ask these guys to protest for brutalities of Islamic terrorist organization across the world if they want. else go to school and learn.

@Jatin i thnk Nigeria and Somalia

M F Hussain an artist with a free flowing artistry and imagination pained NUDE paintings of Goddess Saraswathi..the Hindu godess of Arts and Crafts. Created quite a stir in India,really. He finally had to leave India for that little peccadillo of his? I don't think India got shut down in protests or AK 47 wielding gunmen went on a killing spree? That old man was quite a fan of Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit and she happily graced his public appearances? Different societies and different attitudes,huh?:):):) I hope the 'Land of the Pure' finds something more productive ventures to divert their energies on?:):)

These rallies do nothing but give us a bad image

@Nadeem Sheikh . Pained to see so many protests in Pakistan against Charlie Hebedo but none against the barbaric act on their staff. Wonder if Pakistan will ever learn

@deva You tell the kids to go to school and learn? well, they did and what you see in the pictures shows what they have been taught. You want them to have more of the same?

sorry state of affairs. I feel really sorry for the youth especially. May God save us from extremists. A secular currricul for eduaction and eradication of mullah schools only way out from this cul de sac.

The message is clear. We do not care much about the people killed in that attack but we care more about the perceived insult of the prophet. Of course, to the muslim world, freedom of expression means nothing. It is "either my way or the highway". Also, that the rally is happening exactly on the same day when President Obama is in India has not gone unnoticed here.

@Mustafa Pakistan has a shorter road ahead to oblivion. My sense is: Pakistan is keen on taking the shorter road.

@Shahzad The point is: when muslims are living in a foreing country, they have to follow the rules there. They cannot dictate to the host nation what it should or should not be doing. Presumably, most muslims have migrated to countries like France for economic reasons. Once there, they are unable to assimilate because they are unable/ unwilling to give up their islamic identity which is a stumbling block. Muslims wear their religion on their sleeve and so anything said about their religion is perceived as an insult. It does not occur to even sane Pakistanis that the French make fun of all religious icons including the pope. French seem to be agnostics if not outright atheists. But freedom of expression is sacrosanct there and they are not going to compromise on that.

Pakistani Protests against Charlie are legitimate expression of peoples' right as long as it does not motivate further killing of innocent people, particularly those carried out with the pretext of defending the prophet's honor or Islam. Prophet's own action or teachings did not promote killing when he was insulted in real life. Read the Quran.

No one should be allowed to insult in the name of freedom of speech.

You people praise PK but protest against Carlie

People in Pakistan are cursing them over their politics and views. so thanks to Charlie for bringing them this issue.

@Zubair But then why you don't respect others religion?? Its not a one way process..respect is both way.Why don't you condemn Islamic countries to allow other religions to be practiced there..why you burn hindu temples and holy scriptures??

Instead of focusing their energies on education, science, technology and commerce, these bigots continue to find solace in their opium of faith, much to the detriment of Pakistan. Hatred and intolerance, coupled with laws that muzzle free speech and thought will continue to encourage extremist groups that synonimize Pakistan with everything evil in this world.

@khan YOu hit the nail on the head, there are no protests in the arab world at all, it is only us, so sad to see this.

What a waste of people's precious time. These children are being brainwashed with religious dogma and being prepared as future extremists, even terorirst and suicide bombers willing to blow themselves up in thename of Islam. Charlie Hebdo nevr forced anyone to watch his cartoons. The terrorists forcibly took his life away. What Charlie was doing may have been in bad taste, but no one deserves to be murdered in cold blood like this. Muslims need to understand two things: 1) Grow a ticker skin and stop being so sensitive where every humour on religion offends you, 2) Even if something offends you, there are graceful ways of handling it.

well...Charlie Hebdo circulation went in to millions at your cost :)

Are we going to stone age with this fanaticism?

@Asma ... that is the problem. The whole generation is systematically being transformed. Never there has been a rally to support "Polio Campaign" or say "eradication of poverty" or against terrorists who are defaming the religion or for promoting science, art and commerce These students give a picture that they are being taught to be intolerant and violent. Feel sorry for the young generation.

Involving of children in this type protest , is not good sign of Pakistan. children shouldn't be involve in cheap politics and they should get better education and healthy life . such type of public attention are gathering by political and religious person are very hypothetical mindset of any society . there are no movement for polio vacation program which is more dangerous for future of country..

Don't recall seeing any such protests against cold blooded murder of innocent children in Peshawar. May be I missed.

They have a right to protest. As long as there is no violence. Its all good.
