An Afghan government website has reported that NATO officials have promised to bring the American soldiers responsible for burning the Koran to justice in an open trial.
The website of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Government Media and Information Center (an official government site) states: "NATO officials promised to meet Afghan nation’s [sic] demand of bringing to justice, through an open trial, those responsible for the incident and it was agreed that the perpetrators of the crime be brought to justice as soon as possible."
If this is true, and we do not know yet if it is, handing over US servicemembers to a sharia court in Afghanistan could be one of the most unconscionable acts ever conducted by our government.
Obama reportedly sent a three-page letter to Afghan president Hamid Karzai, but the White House won't fully disclose the letter. A small portion of Obama's letter - suspiciously (and perhaps deliberately) ambiguous - is floating around stating "We will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible."
What does the president mean, holding the soldiers accountable to military law? They didn't do anything wrong. If they did, show us what code they violated. Or does he mean sharia law? Desecrating the Koran, especially by non-Muslims could result in the death penalty. But American soldiers are held only to US law, not Islamic law. Besides, depending on what jurist you talk to, burning of Korans is entirely permissible if the books are damaged - which the Korans in question were, at the hands of Muslims.
Of course, the White House and Pentagon are not answering questions. But this is nothing new for the president who proclaims...

Nothing Baraq Hussein Obama does will surprise me..
So much for upholding our nation’s separation of church and state. Islamic theocracy does not mean s*** to this nation.
Barack never complains when the Saudi government burns Bibles.
It sounds to me like the result is going to please absolutely nobody. NATO will carry on the trial, which no matter what happens the howling Islamists will denounce as bogus, while at the same time causing great grief to those who are being put on trial even if it ends up letting them walk.
All in the name of something that sounds like a snafu, not a planned or purposed confrontation to Islam.
Not even Barak Obama is this stupid.
I can’t say what I’m thinking.
The fact that this has not been vociferously and publicly rejected is a red flag, yes?
American Punk- the Obama Story. Soon to be shoved down the throat at a theater near you!
If they don’t turn them over now, expect berserk rioting in Afghanistan. If they do turn them over, expect berserk rioting here (oh, also in Afghanistan where they do such rioting on a moments notice for any conceivable reason).
He better DON’T!!!
I can't either. I would be arrested.
I'll just say this: If this doesn't lead to the Kenyan bastard's defeat, the republic is beyond hope.
Nope. Because he isn’t that stupid.
Next time somebody gets the bright idea to “nation build” in a country committed to the 7th century, send 30,000 laptops with a good internet connection, instead of 30,000 troops.
“expect berserk rioting here...”
Well, I’ve never been a rioter. Heck, I’ve never even been to a Black Friday sale. But I bet I could learn. This ole dog can still learn a new trick.
Never happen - if he did this, it would surely be a nail in his coffin in his re-election bid ...
The U.S. government does that for them. Didn't General McChrystal order a huge number of Bibles a while back?
That’s why I can’t say either.
Notice how the media has shut up on the whole issue?
This speaks volumes to me. I am thinking they have agreed to do this.
Nope. Because he isn’t that stupid.

NEVER underestimate this America-hating Marxist. In fact...I’m calling him a Nazi from now on, because he is. He HATES “life” and believes that the State is GOD. He wants the equivalent to the “Volkswagen (The Peoples’ Car), i.e the f*ckin’ VOLT and believes that babies are a “punishment” to girls who want to spread their legs wide open just for their own pleasure.....then have their babies born with their heads crowned and have their brains sucked out. But, hey! As long as the mother “feels good”, eh, Barack? And that their “tissue” doesn’t cost the STATE any money.
I don’t really expect them to hand anyone over. Likely try them in a military court there but beyond an article 15, I can’t see anything reasonable. Obama and his cronies aren’t reasonable in their hatred of the military so I don’t know. If they do anything like the article indicates, I will protest in the streets.
B.O. is stupid, but not this stupid.
B.O. is stupid, but not this stupid.
I would hope they aren’t stupid enough to hand our soldiers over to anybody.
Personally, I don’t think there should even be any kind of military court, either.
There have been at least 4 of our people murdered over this. That is 4 too many.
(I think I could protest a lot easier than I could riot :))
Well if he does I am sure no one will hear about it.
Quite honestly that would be the end.
No way that the American people or the American Military would stand that. At the very best for Obama he would be impeached and have to go in hiding outside of America..............
The US Gov’t is the most sharia-compliant organization in the world. It does more to promote deference to Islam and compliance with Muslim sensibilities than Osama Bin Laden ever hoped to achieve.
He should offer himself in place of the accused.
I sense this would be a go signal call to action for a lot of patriots if this were ever to come to pass.
I predict that the Communist-In-Chief WILL state that he will turn over our military members for Afghan prosecution, to cause chaos, as he’s done so many times in the past. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Will he go thru with it? I think that it’s doubtful, but it’s very possible.
Same here. This is one of those cases where it's best to just keep quiet.
Yes he will but after the election if he wins or loses.
The CIC should be punished to the fullest extent of Sharia law.
I am willing to hand over Obama.
Can someone please tell me the circumstance of how the Korans were burned. I have not seen any article that explains it. Did someone do it in protest, did they use them for firewood because they were cold? What the heck happened to cause all this?
Thanks.
Oh Lord, how fortunate I am that I served under an American president — Eisenhower.
It doesn’t matter how the korans were burned when no one gives a sh*t when Christians are innocently slaughtered.
I have a better idea.
Hand over Øbama to the “islamic court”.
I appreciate you want to debate. I might join you. Right now I’m just trying to find out what happened. It was a literal question. I see someone posted a link so I’ll go read that now. Thanks.
General Charles Napier when dealing with sutte, the Indian custom of burning a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre: “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”
"the human mind is never better disposed to gratitude and attachment than when softened by fear." - General Charles Napier
Perhaps we need some new customs of our own when dealing with a few hundred troublemakers who incite others into a murderous frenzy.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the link.
koran = Mein Kampf. What’s the big deal?
If he DARES to do this, the military should go into full mutiny. Period.
So very happy I did NOT serve under this pagan and anti-American President. Just considering turning these soldiers over suggests we ought NOT have a single Military man -woman -or ? serving in Trashcanistan.The 0— are you listening congressman Jim Moron? can go to He__ . The Democrat in the White House claims his apologies have saved lives— I prefer what Congressman Allen West has said as much more reasoned and TRUE.
” when the Saudi government burns Bibles”?
How about when the saudi’s kill Christians?
I don’t see the Islamo-Fascists apologizing for murdering thousands of Americans on 9/11. I don’t see the Islamo-Fascists apologizing for their collaboration with Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. I don’t see the Islamo-Fascists apologizing for the way they’ve slaughtered Jews, Coptic Christians, and Iraqi Catholics.
Puh-leeze.
Yes, he is.
Good one
