KABUL, Afghanistan - Muslim holy books that were burned in a pile of garbage at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan had been removed from a library at a nearby detention center because they contained extremist messages or inscriptions, a western military official said Tuesday.

The military official with knowledge of the incident said it appeared that the Qurans (Korans) and other Islamic readings were being used to fuel extremism, and that detainees at Parwan Detention Facility were writing on the documents to exchange extremist messages.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident.

The Quran by its nature contains extremist material. Any extrq notes or messages are merely icing on the cake.

Yahoo has a headline reading that we have apologized already for this. We are weak and the Islamists know we are ripe for the kill.

“The Quran by its nature contains extremist material. Any extrq notes or messages are merely icing on the cake.”

Exactly. How much more extreme could these ragheads in question make it? Amend the text to make it say “strike the enemy’s neck twice” instead of just once?
