The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Thu, 01/01/2009 12:58 PM | National
Thousands of Muslim university students in Palembang, South Sumatra, staged a rally Thursday and sealed fast-food restaurants Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and McDonald's as part of an anti-U.S.-and-Israel boycott.
Kompas.com has reported the protesters, students from Raden Patah State Islamic Institute, began to throng the streets in the morning chanting anti-Israel slogans.
Upon reaching the local branches of KFC and McDonald's, the students unrolled banners and put them up across the entrances to the two eateries.
"To show our concern over Israel's attack on Palestine, we urge Muslims to boycott all products from Israel and its allies. These two restaurants are part of them," rally coordinator Abu Bakar said.
"We've held two rallies so far this week. We'll stage further rallies to raise funds for the war victims in the Gaza strip," he added.
