Anti-American sentiment in Afghanistan has been encouraged by the Quran burning incident and the leaking online of a video of US troops urinating on Taliban fighters. Drone strikes have also led to growing anti-Americanism in and beyond Afghanistan.[1]

The Quran burning incident inflamed anti-American sentiment among Afghans.
