I've got it.
We've come a long way since the days of the Global War on Terror. Frankly, the GWOT -- whatever that was supposed to mean (how do you fight against a tactic?) -- is so 10 years ago. "Terror," meanwhile, has morphed into "extremism," but that's only made things more unclear. We still don't know what it's all supposed to be about.
Until today.
Mr. and Mrs. America, boys and girls, welcome to the Global War on Quran-Burning, as led by the United States Masochists To Make the World Safe for Shariah (Islamic law).
If a column could have special effects, this is where piercing beams of sunlight would dispel clouds of confusion as pink bunnies jump up and down, squeaking, "That's it, that's it!" And a sigh of relief would spread across the happy valley ...
Or would it? If my title for the war our country has engaged us in is apt, have I described a cause most Americans support? I don't think so, but, of course, I don't claim to know the answer. That's partly because I see no upset in the land over the latest and greatest display of American dhimmitude -- the subservient state of Jews and Christians in thrall to Islamic law -- that we have witnessed in Afghanistan all week. Afghan Muslims have convulsed in rioting and killing (among other fatalities, two U.S. military personnel have been murdered by an Afghan army member) on word that Qurans and other religious materials were disposed of on a U.S. military base after authorities discovered the books were being used at Parwan prison in what the BBC said may have been "a secret Taliban message system."
You didn't hear about that last part? I'm not surprised. This crucial piece of the story -- the logical reason for the books' destruction -- is treated by the media, and also by the U.S. government, as secondary material. At least one unnamed "U.S. official" imparted this part of the story to the press (Reuters and AFP); unnamed "Afghan officials" have told the BBC the same thing. Judging by the gingerly way this news is being handled, it almost seems as if the perfectly logical rationale for the disposal of these materials is regarded as an embarrassment.
Not so the outrageous, primitive response of rioting Muslims. In our state of abject apology, we have, in effect, condoned this murderous behavior according to the Islamic rules governing treatment of the Quran. This isn't just political correctness run amok; it's open submission to Islamic law. After all, the Quran is an inanimate object, a thing, cheaply printed and distributed by the gazillion, often by Saudi Arabia. We -- if by "we" I may still refer to the Judeo-Christian-humanist world -- do not rampage and shoot people when an inanimate object, a thing, even a Bible, is torn, written on or thrown away. In fact, we have constitutional rights to do all of those things as a matter of free speech.
Nonetheless, we as a nation -- spilling blood for the "noble people of Afghanistan," as top commander Marine Gen. John R. Allen says in his prostration video (see it here) -- have deemed it vital to accommodate, apologize, slurp and scrape to those who do. Equally as tragic, in the frenzy to apologize, the logic behind throwing the stuff away has been sacrificed. Reason itself has been discarded in a shameful and irrational act of fealty. This isn't just dysfunctional behavior. This is full-blown dhimmitude.
Sorry to disappoint the pink bunnies.
America is perceived as weak now. Muzzies prey on weakness.
Does anyone know the “proper” way to retire a Koran?
Bravo
All obama should have offered to do was in the future to turn over the DEFACED Korans to the imams to deal with those who used them as political tracts
Oh, but obama truly is regretful for causing distress to the rop, unlike him telling US religionists to blow their doctrines and consciences out their rear ends
The US is not apologizing. Our first foreign born Islamic POTUS, who is unqualified to be POTUS under the constitution, if the constitution was still actually followed, is.
Shoot it through a log chipper into a pig sty?
Burying in a pig lot is my suggested method. However I did look it up.
The proper way to dispose of a quran (I looked it up) is to 1) bury it, 2) throw it in a river, or 3) burn it.
Psst... Here's a hint:
Don’t just blame Obama. Blame 50% of the country who put him in office. The shame of America is on them just as much as Obama. They’re getting their hope and change, by willfully electing a muslim as president.
What else CAN we expect from OblubberingFool?
I cringed when I first saw his public-foreign BOW almost down to his toes. Embarrassing.
If they were disposed of by one of the proper methods, why is the TOTUS apologizing?
because he’s spineless?
SO TRUE.
Those who elected him KNEW that his ONLY background was racial politics. He and that hog Michelle were the perfect match and we got what we deserved. We just HAD to vote for our very first African-American president. Makes me want to throw up yet again.
The proper way to retire a koran?
Use the pages to line the catbox; if it doesn’t insult the cats or make them physically ill.
Properly spread across the floor, they might make a good puppy potty training area.
Ram it far up the arse of the first son of a pig f’n dog who complains.
I heard the news story that an Afghan soldier shot and killed two US servicemen over this, but I have heard nothing about the fate of the shooter. Has he been caught and brought to justice?
Now if Obama had said that since the Muslims are crazy and insecure taking offense at everything we are apologizing, if he had said that since the Muslim world acts like murderous children we are apologizing, if he had said that Muslims have defiled the Koran with every act of terrorism, with every woman beaten into submission, then I might of seen the point of apologizing.
No, he disappeared into the crowd.
The mistake we make is endlessly projecting weakness. We should be burning the Muslims, not the Korans. Napalm the rioting crowd and there will be far fewer riots. Never happen, I know.
