Pakistani shi’ite Muslim activists of Imamia Student Federation (ISF) burn a mock U.S. flag during a protest in Peshawar May 16, 2005. Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan were sceptical on Monday about an apparent retraction by Newsweek magazine of a report that U.S. Interrogators desecrated the Koran and said U.S. pressure was behind the climb-down. The report in Newsweek’s May 9 issue sparked protests across the Muslim world from Afghanistan, where 16 were killed and more than 100 injured, to Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Gaza.
