Quran burning angers Afghans; U.S. vows probe

[BadCat]

This morning, they reported that these books had been written in by prisoners, which is a violation of some stupid muzzie religious rule.

Oddly enough, burning is considered a proper way to destroy a "defaced" copy of this particular book.

I wish someone would've wiped their ass with the pages just to see the frenzy that would've ensued. :biggrin:

And of course our Apologizer-In-Chief sent this letter.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) – The Afghan president’s office says it has received a letter from President Obama formally apologizing for the burning of Qurans at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.


The statement from President Hamid Karzai’s office says the U.S. ambassador delivered the letter on Thursday.


In the letter, which is quoted in the statement, Obama expresses his “deep regret for the reported incident” and offers his “sincere apologies.”


According to the statement, Obama wrote: “The error was inadvertent; I assure you that we will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible.”

So more of our soldiers being put on trial for no wrong doing.

And this was received by them accordingly.

(CBS News) — Two U.S. troops have been shot to death and four more wounded by an Afghan solider who turned his gun on his allies in apparent anger over the burning of Qurans at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan, an Afghan official tells CBS News.

You stage a protest or attack one of our men, we dissolve a mosque at prayer time. Rinse repeat.

You know, I tried a high quality version of the Whole-E book of the Moon god religion. It didn't work so good. I acquired a medium quality and the pages in it are much more absorbent. I suggest for a really good clean up after a hearty poop, you go with the medium quality paper. The goofy little book has many pages for long life and if you are a two-ply man, just double up!

Either fight a war or bring our men home, since Obama is incapable of actually allowing the military to do what they are trained for, we need to bring them home and stop wiping the butts of our enemies and quite handing out pacifiers, that is not what our military is for.

I think we should give every man, woman, and child in Kabul a new Koran. No, give them ten new Korans each..... dropped from a high altitude.

I'm not an expert on Islam, but I think you are right that only "official" clerics are allowed to reproduce the Koran.

They should have just told the Afgani people that the Korans they burned had been written by women.

Unless there is something I'm missing, I cannot fathom the stupidity of those that burned this trash anyplace near where these fanatic people could find out.

I have no doubt that someday, I will be in the position of having to do an Article 32 hearing or a 15-6 investigation of something like this, and I am not looking forward to it. Any result that doesn't satisfy the PC demands of the elites will most likely land me in the cell next to the perp.

What we really ought to do is translate it for them. Most Muslims don't speak Arabic and have no idea of what's actually in the Qur'an. I'm currently reading a collection of essays by people who left Islam, and the unifying thread is that they actually read the Qur'an and the Hadiths, and realized how nuts Mohammed was.

That might have actually worked, except then they'd have rioted because we allowed women to write the Qur'an.
