(Reuters) - Twelve people were killed on Friday in the bloodiest day yet in protests that have raged across Afghanistan over the desecration of copies of the Muslim holy book at a NATO military base with riot police and soldiers on high alert braced for more violence.

Anyone hear Gen. Jack (can’t recall his last name, regular Fox contributor) with Meghan Kelly? He agreed with Obama’s apology, said “absolutely, it was the right thing to do. . . . all religions regard their symbols with respect.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Maplethorp’s nonpunishment came to mind, but how many other insults have Christians endured?
Let me add this up: Muslim prisoners desecrated the Quaran by writing in it. Muslim rioters then kill other muslims in protest. The Darwin Award Religion.
That our soldiers didn’t dispose of the book in a manner more preferable to the muslims is immaterial. These folks are perpetually pissed off, hate us, and are violent. Could care less what they think.
Muslims have control of Fox now.
Anybody started a "JDams" fund? I would like to contribute. And those JDams must be delivered ASAP at any target-rich environment.
Screw apologies!
