Students protest in kabul at florida koran burninh.

Hundreds of Kabul University students along with lecturers staged a protest on Tuesday to protest at Koran burning in Florida.

The protest was staged in the campus of the Kabul University in a peaceful way.
It started at 08:00 am local time and lasted for three hours.

Students chanted anti-American slogans and strongly condemned the Koran burning in the United States.
Protesters said the action is an insult to Muslims. They called on the US government to punish those who have burnt the holy Koran.
"We strongly condemn this action, it is an inhumane act," Obaid Abed, a university student, said.
Enayatullah Baleegh, a lecturer at the faculty of Islamic theology, said Islam does not allow Muslims to insult anyone.
"Based on Islam, we have no right to insult and humiliate anyone," Mr Baleegh said.

People in the south-western Nimroz province also staged a similar peaceful demonstration today urging punishment for the Florida pastor.
Meanwhile, the White House has condemned the Koran burning as well as the killing of the UN workers in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has said Washington absolutely condemns the burning of the holy Koran considering it un-American and inappropriate, but added that nothing could justify the fatal violence that took the lives of the UN workers in Mazar-e-Sharif.
"Two points. One, we absolutely condemn the burning of holy text. We think it's un-American and inappropriate, one. Two, nothing justifies--, absolutely nothing justifies the kind of violence and fatal violence that we saw that took the lives of workers at the United Nations in Mazar-i-Sharif. Absolutely nothing," Reuters quotes Jay Carney as saying.
Mr Carney has said what the pastor has done does not represent America's values.
Meanwhile, the chief spokesman of the UN mission in Afghanistan, Kieran Dwyer, has also said the UN will conduct an inquiry into the Mazar attack to determine the fact and look at all measures that were taken to protect its workers.

Head of the UN mission in Afghanistan, Staffan de Mistura, has told his staff in an e-mail on Sunday that he believed there were "understandable question marks about security lapses" at the compound.
"We recognise that something did go wrong and are working to address it," Mr de Mistura has written.
In the recent demonstrations in Mazar-e-Sharif and Kandahar 20 people including 7 UN workers were killed and around 130 demonstrators were injured
