Qur’an Furor: U.S. Leaders Offer Abject Apologies to ‘the Noble People of Afghanistan’

The turban turners have been rioting in both Kabul and Jelalabad over this andit is likely to get bigger. Wonderful people.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Apologizing to Moslems is like apologizing to a... pig.

[manic4organic]

The “proper” disposal of the koran is to take a crap on it, urinate on it, shoot it, THEN burn it and bury it.

[Uncle Ike]

” ‘the Noble People of Afghanistan’ “

Gee - all *three* of ‘em?? At the same time??

Wow....

[forgotten man]

Who is the idiot who told the muslims that korans were burned? It is ok to burn trhe korans, just keep your mouth shut. If I had a copy of the koran printed on one ply paper I would use it in the bathroom.

[miss marmelstein]

Personally, I think this is an American plot. The Afghans have managed to kill I don’t know how many of their own over this stupid story. Meanwhile, we have not lost one of our own.

[smalltownslick]

That may be too many. “Noble” people don’t riot over the burning of pieces of paper.

[Levante]

Groveling to these savages is sickening.

[klb99]

Do NOT apologize for me. I reject the American apology.

[Argus]

Most of these barbarians can’t read, so how do they know these are “holy books” at all and not, say, Arabic versions of Newsweek?

This whole thing is all too typical of our PC interaction with Islam. I’d favor getting all our people out of that mudhole and nuking it from orbit.

[JudyinCanada]

How I wish Americans would quit apologizing to this bunch. It’s like parents who finally enforce some rules, the kids explode, and the parents apologize.

If these muslims are using their “holy” book to communicate hateful messages, burn the books, and tell them in no uncertain terms that this will be done every time.

These savages only continue to throw fits of rage because they get the kid glove treatment every time they do.

[robowombat]

The contractor in charge of the trash burn recognized the Korans amid other trash and stopped the burn. One of the Afghan nationals hired as char force picked up a singed Koran and smuggled it out and thus the story began to spread.

[InsidiousMongo]

+1!

I refuse to have my leaders apologize to people who kill Americans!!!

These leaders are traitors to the United States!

[SgtHooper]

This clearly indicates the stupidity of the officers in charge to allow natives to witness this destruction. Un-freaking-believable!

[Noob1999]

It sounds like we’ve got idiots like Karpinski and Lyndee Englund that shit in the faces of a local population just to piss them off.

These military idiots will prolong the war and result in many more American deaths just because they were stupid.

It would have been much better to just hang the Koran in the outhouse and use it as a substitute for an old Sears Roebuck catalog!

[robowombat]

Apparently someone found a Islamacist hate mail in a Koran in the library that Afghans being held for classification and potential charges as terrorists. The library staff then checked all Korans and other pubs (which ones I do not know) for Islamacist commentary penned into the margins or endsheets. All publications found to have such writings were removed. Here is the screw up. Instead of turning them over to intel or security for disposal the offending books were tossed into the regular trash and garbage in I guess a dumpster. It was emptied into a truck and hauled to the burn pit. At the burn pit some sharp eyed contractor spotted the Korans and ordered them recovered and bagged to be returned to US forces. It was while the char force was raking the burning trash/garbage that an Afghan national who was employed by the char force contractor hid one of the singed Korans in his caftan like garb and smuggled it out to show other of the Umma what the ‘infidels’ were doing to insult the ‘noble book’.

[Repeat Offender]

Don't apologize for me.

[PGR88]

The US Army and US Government are doing more than any other organization on Earth to promote adherence to Muslim sensibilities and Sharia Law.

They are doing a far more thorough job than even Osama bin Laden.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

The protesters should be burned using korans as fuel.

[LibLieSlayer]

We should have destroyed everything from the air... not one brick upon another... every cave bombed... every adobe valley strafed... killed everything that moved and everything that didn't... and then we should have salted the earth.
