In Pakistan, about 1,500 people took to the streets to protest bin Laden's killing, chanting anti-American slogans and burning the U.S. flag, according to videos posted online.

In Egypt, the birthplace of bin Laden's presumed successor, al Qaida commander Ayman al Zawahiri, about 400 members of the ultraconservative Salafi branch of Islam prayed for bin Laden at a mosque they'd seized last month from more moderate leadership

Among the thousands of protesters camped out in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, the heart of a three-month-old revolt against President Ali Abdullah Saleh, there were no signs of grieving for bin Laden, and reports of only small commemorations in other parts of the country.

This should make it a little harder for the extreme gasbags to argue that we are at war with Islam.
