Koran-burning protests could delay Afghan poll: U.N., Reuters (2010)

This article reports on the warning of the UN mission in Afghanistan about a possible delay. According to Staffan de Mistura, the UN SG Special Representative, believes that these anti-Muslim protests could have a substantial effect on the electoral process in the country, as it would give the Taliban an excuse to use violence. These types of protest would only provoke angry reactions, and encourage more people to join the extremists. The Independent Election Commission is planning to postpone the poll in some provinces where there are security issues. 17.5 million voters are registered, but the turnout is expected to be around 5-7 million.
