Obama on riots in Afghanistan

The White House released a statement from President Obama on the riots in Afghanistan that were prompted by one U.S. church’s decision to burn Islam’s holy book, the Koran.

The president’s statement:

“Today, the American people honor those who were lost in the attack on the United Nations in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. Once again, we extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who were killed, and to the people of the nations that they came from. The desecration of any holy text, including the Koran, is an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry. However, to attack and kill innocent people in response is outrageous, and an affront to human decency and dignity. No religion tolerates the slaughter and beheading of innocent people, and there is no justification for such a dishonorable and deplorable act. Now is a time

The rioted over the soldiers who killed the civilians and took the pictures, and not the stupid pastor.....but that would reflect badly on “The One” so they deflect the blame.

He can't show positive feelings towards something he loathes.

“No religion tolerates the slaughter and beheading of innocent people”

This is absolutely true. Islam-a-lama-ding-dong is NOT A RELIGION, it is a DEATH CULT. And the Koran is little more than a muslime comic book about a fake god and a pedophilic thief of a false prophet.

The only Constitution for King Obama is his communists empire.

The desecration of the Koran is a brave act of moral judgment that is correct and which is deserved by Islam.Islam is a cult and not a religion and does not deserve tolerance and freedom of religion.

At least this latest reaction from the Islam world can help dispel the “nation building” notion from policy makers (both left and right wing) here in the U.S. I can only hope.

The desecration of any holy text ... is an act of extreme intolerance and bigotry.

Except when the Saudis confiscate and burn Bibles, of course...

“The desecration of any holy text, including the Koran”

There is nothing holy about the queeran. It was written in evil, by evil and directed to keep evil in this world.

No religion tolerates the slaughter and beheading of innocent people, and there is no justification for such a dishonorable and deplorable act.

Could this jerk possibly be any further out of touch with reality? That must be a cozy alternative universe he inhabits.

Here are two clues for you, Mr. President:
1. What religion tolerates slaughter and beheading? Islam.
2. What is the justification? The Koran.
