The news media says that the Kandahar riots were caused by the burning of a koran in Florida. Were they really?

If only we appease the practitioners of the ROP, they will love and admire us!

"..Were they really? .."

I suspect it was caused by community organizers who deserve some serious lead therapy.

Did you know Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance and mercy?

I believe it really was because of the civilian killings and the taking of photos of the “trophies” by the US servicemen. But that would reflect badly on “The One”, just as Al Ghraib did on Bush, so they deflected it to this stupid pastor, with the willingness of the MSM.

Nuke ‘em! Any so called religion that riots and kills over cartoons and any other perceived slight needs to be returned to the stone age!

No, they were caused by satan pitching a fit and passing it on to his minions.

I say we take off and nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way that we can be sure.

From the article:

Viewed against the backdrop of these past thirty years, it is clear that the islamists (no, not all muslims, but the non-moderate ones – the jihadists and fundamentalists who control so many muslim countries and appear to dominate the clerical class) will grasp at any justification, however slim, to rouse their rabble into violent action.

This is a good article overall. The author makes one mistake, however. Above he refer to "non-moderate" muslims, implying there are "moderate" muslims. The difference is that the "moderates" have not picked up their weapons yet. Yet is the operative word.

I don't know his name, and don't want to know his name, but a year or so ago one of those who would have probably been called a "moderate" muslim beheaded his own wife. If I remember correctly, he lived in New York state and ran his own television station.

Apparently a peaceful, "moderate" muslim ... 'til the day he beheaded his own wife.

Koran’s printed on modern paper don’t burn well due to the high clay content in the paper. However, they do a nice job in the smoker with a pork butt roast.

The heathens proved the reverend’s point.

We need to get out of Afghanistan NOW. We need to get out of Libya and NATO NOW. We should get out of Iraq ASAP.

Not one of these Muslim scumbags is worth an American life.

Did we learn nothing from Vietnam? Hearts and minds is not a mission for our military. The ROE are dangerous and prioritize the enemy over our men and women. The military leadership has embraced multicultural, PC nonsense which endangers our soldiers, whether at Fort Hood or in enemy territory. We have stopped fighting wars between the PC nonsense and the desire to spare civilians who kill us because somewhere in Florida someone burned a book. They are not civilians. they are the enemy, and if we can’t fight them, we don’t belong there. If we don’t want to defeat them utterly, we don’t belong there.

rant over
