Afghan's Karzai demands public trial for Quran burners

KABUL -- Afghanistan wants NATO to put on public trial those who burned copies of the Quran at a NATO base, President Hamid Karzai's office said Thursday, after a third day of bloody protests over the incident.

It said NATO had agreed to a trial, but that could not be immediately confirmed.

Karzai had earlier accused a U.S. officer of "ignorantly" burning copies of the Quran, in an incident that has deepened anti-Western sentiment in a country NATO is trying to stabilize before foreign combat troops leave by the end of 2014.

Demonstrations have drawn thousands of angry Afghans to the streets, chanting "Death to America!" amid violence that has killed 11 people including two U.S. service personnel.

whatever the hell Afghanistan produces.

Ummm. That would be pistachio nuts and heroin.

What a place. Worthless. A glass parking lot would hold much more value.

The moment Bush changed the name of the operation (Infinite Justice or whatever) was the moment we started losing the war.

Yup. That moment showed above all others whose hand the whip was in - and it wasn't ours.

I'm tired of American's dying for muslims. Or even American's having to live in those stinkin countries for year after year after year, not to mention the cost of the whole fiascos.

I add my anger to all those in this thread. Bring our people home - Today! If you can do it sooner, I'd really appreciate it. Let the taliban have it back. The Afghan's won't fight for it apparently.

Anyone still think these people can maintain anything remotely close to a civilized society?

Not even close Judy. The only thing that lets them be an actor on the world stage, as horrible as that is, is oil. And they're going to find out in a few years that their oil is worth a fraction of what it's worth now. Then they'll revert back to being nothing but a bunch of desert dwellers.

Primitive throwbacks. That's all that they are - or will ever be.

ONe other quick thought. There are 57 countries in the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Yet all of those countries produce about 1/2 of the books published in Spain alone.

How's that for civilized? Low grade morons who only have oil going for them. Once that's done, they're done.

Let’s act in accordance with the kind of mercy the Qu’ran dictates - we hang Karzai and nuke the rest of the country.

That's what should have been done the instant that the Taliban refused to turn over bin Laden, as he WAS the 'Commander In Chief' of their military, appointed to that position in August 2001, a little known fact that has slipped down the memory hole.

Nuking the Taliban would have sent a message to ALL of those effin ragheads, instead we got a pile of poppycock and prattle from our former RINO-in-Chief about an 'Axis of Evil' that he was content to just knock one leg off of before he rode home to Crawford Texas in glory.

All of that nonsense about bringing democracy and 'free elections' to Afghanistan is going to end up being nothing but a bad joke in the footnotes of history, because the Kenyan Usurper is kissing Karzai's ass, making overtures to the Taliban, and the deluded Afghan souls who thought they were going to get a better life are going to be bitterly disappointed as their former Taliban rulers return to power with a vengeance to hunt down, maim and/or kill anyone who dared offend the Islamic death cult doctrines that prevailed in that godforsaken shithole prior to 2002.

That one eyed phuckwit Mullah Omar will live to see his triumphant parade returning him to power, as darkness descends once again.

I want our people out of EVERY Muslim country in the world. Let them spend eternity killing and oppressing each other. We don’t need to be part of that insanity.

Muslims are involved in almost every war on the planet - Blood lust and war are intertwined... That's not going to change. The best option is to wall them off from the modern world - something they want too - and let them inflict their 'enlightenment' on each other.

Think about it - what kind of culture has fathers and uncles killing children based on pride? What culture - other than Muslim - allows sex and marriage - with children? What culture other than Muslim is so thin skinned they MURDER cartoonists and journalists who 'wound' their big fat egos?

There are nice Muslims - good people who love their families like we do - but they're under the thumb of a belief system that's every psychopath's wet dream.

Until within living memory, almost all of them; too many people are too ignorant of history, preferring to substitute their Little House on the Prairie filters, imagining a past that never existed. That seen among certain Muslim sects is but the continuing into the present of that which was the cultural norm of the ancient and not-so-ancient world.

Ummm, slavery was allowed ONCE too.

Some cultural questions have been answered by modern human societies - and are no longer 'on the table'.

There's consensus among civilized people that slavery, genocide, rape, murder, human sacrifice - to name a few - are NOT culturally ACCEPTABLE.

And yeah, criminals, psychopaths etc still have slaves, murder people, commit genocide etc - but those actions are illegal in modern societies.

My question is: what culture TODAY" - IN the modern world - allows (as a culture) sex with children. And yeah, I know enough 'history' to know that human sacrifice etc. - existed in many cultures too. What is your point? That the evil Muslim cultures allow is OK because at one time - in the dark ages - human cultures acted the same? Do you defend slavery?

I have no idea why you would choose in interpret my question is such a bizarre fashion.

This demand is deserving of nothing more or less than a simple, single-digit, response.
