   Fake?

   I would guess it was a fake. If you look at the photo's found on the pages by Tubantia and Excite you will notice the there is another sign written in red white and blue saying "DONT ATTACK AFGANISTAN". I doubt these would show up at the same time even if by different photogrophers. The yellow signs don't look real in one photo and in the photo where they are all sitting with their signs rolled up (most likely for more brain washing prayer) the only 2 signs shown are the fake? one and the red white and blue one.

   I also don't think these people have the printers to get these images to thes size in the pics. The one you found would loose clarity if blown up to the size in the photos. Again, all the rest of the signs are hand written. LOW TECH.
   
   I'll bet it's a hoax!

   I'll bet it's for real.

   I bet not. For starters, these are news photographs on news sites, so if the photos have been doctored, it's been doctored by a number of very professional and very talented graphic artists. I can't find one photo that looked even remotely cooked. It would have to have been a hoax perpetrated by a higher-up news agency, like rueters, which, if it were uncovered, would call into question the said photojournalist's integrity.
   
   Why assume these people don't have the printing technology? Their moral system may harken back to the middle ages, but they do have printers. And obviously they are organized. Just because all the other signs are hand writen does not preclude the existence of better posters.
   
   Great fodder for comedy, though. SNL?

   missing the point

   Guys, you are missing the point: Osama is just a puppet to that evil scoundrel Bert. Sure, he acts semi-friendly on Sesame Street, but how do you think Osama got all the intel on airline security? Bert! How to hijack a plane? Bert! Hell, years of losing royalties to Ernie over "rubber ducky" has motivated Bert to extremes -- rumor has it that Oscar and Elmo also have their shadow factions and will strike at any time.
   
   Now for the picture: as you know, Mr. Snuffalupagus (sp?) has used cloaking technology for the better part of 3 decades to hide from adult view. Fact, simple fact. Bert stole that technology to mask his involvement with Osama (and others). Thus, no picture to date had shown him associating with his evil clan. Apparently, though, a power outage in that unstable land led to a failure in the cloaking device. Bert was exposed for all to see. Moral of the story: get a big UPS next time, Bert; clean power is a bitch in a 3rd world country.
   
   So, let's put this whole thing to rest, OK?

   So has anyone definitively figured out if these photos are real or a hoax. From what I have read in the papers and online, I think the photos are real. Is that actually true?

   this jack daniels bottle that you talked about is nothing but a dagger. All muslims carry daggers on them and if you look closely, then you will notice it.
