More than dozen killed in Pakistan protests over anti-Islam video But as tragic as it was in Benghazi, and today in Pakistan, where more than a dozen Pakistanis were killed and over 200 injured, the number of demonstrators has been small — except in Beirut and Khartoum, where there were about 10,000 each. As an old South Asia hands told me in Pakistan and India years ago: “You don’t have a demonstration until you have at least 100,000, or a million people, in the streets.” The demonstrations should be taken in perspective. When former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto returned to Karachi on Oct. 19, 2007, there were, according to the BBC, over 200,000 people surrounding her caravan. On Sept. 16, “hundreds” of young men, according to Pakistani officials, attacked the U.S. Consulate in Karachi. They were led, according to reports, by Jamaat Islami (The Islamic Party). The attacks in Islamabad were led, according to reports, by Jamiat Ulema-a-Islam (Party of Islamic clerics), both prominent fundamentalist political religious parties tied to the Taliban in Afghanistan. While most Muslim around the world are surely hurt by the trailer, very few are so angry at the U.S. that they are demonstrating and killing fellow Muslims. In Pakistan, demonstrators attacked a Pakistani Press Club in Wari, a small city near the Afghan border, injuring Pakistani journalists. Demonstrators killed a Pakistani journalist in Peshawar. On Sept. 20, in Mogadishu, Somalia, according to National Union of Somali Journalists, two suicide bombers killed three Somali journalists and wounded four others. There have been very few demonstrations in India, the second largest Muslim nation in the world. Why? India is a democracy where people can vent their frustrations at the ballot box. Islam means submission to God. Democracy means rules of man. Al Qaeda and the Taliban, and other fundamentalist organizations, call democracy a western religion. The Islamists demonstrating are angry not just at America, but at modernity, at the secular world, and at democracy. They are few in number.

The Syrian government has increasingly been using helicopters and other aircraft in its fight against the rebels. Rebels have claimed to have shot down helicopters and warplanes in the past, although the regime has blamed most of the problems on mechanical difficulties. In Thursday’s incident, the helicopters rotor clipped the tail of a Syrian Arab Airlines jet, the state TV said. The passenger plane “landed safely at the airport and none of the 200 passengers were harmed,” the report said. The helicopter crashed southeast of Douma, a Damascus suburb that has witnessed repeated military crackdowns to purge fighters seeking to topple Assad. No further details were made available. “We heard the sound of several explosions and some gunfire, and a few minutes later, we were told that a helicopter had crashed,” said Mohammad Saeed, an activist in Douma.

Ashton Kutcher is a modern-day Renaissance Man, with his movie, television and social media ventures, but this Monday, all eyes will be on him as he makes his debut on the hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” “Early Show” co-anchor Chris Wragge caught up with Kutcher to talk about the season premiere — and the pressure. Pictures: Fall TV on CBS So what does it feel like to be the new man on “Two and a Half Men”? “I feel like the luckiest guy in the world,” Kutcher said. And what was it that was so appealing to you about getting back into television? “I just offhandedly mentioned to a friend (that), if they offer me that job, I’d take it,” Kutcher said. “It’s always sort of nice to jump on something that’s already moving and successful and people already have an appetite for. It just seemed like the best job in the world” Perhaps too good, Wragge remarked, for its previous occupant, Charlie Sheen. His eight-season run as hard-living Charlie Harper came to an end after a series of now-infamous feuds and rants. But Kutcher is quick to say he’s not trying to fill Sheen’s shoes. “Here’s the thing,” Kutcher said. “Charlie was incredible on the show and I can’t, there’s no way I’m going to replace Charlie Sheen. I’m not playing his character. But it’s the...
