"Can someone please tell me the circumstance of how the Korans were burned."

Why? Motive has nothing to do with it.

The American Flag and the Judeo-Christian Bible can be burned and trashed everywhere in the world, including the streets of our own cities.

If and when (HA!) the Mohammedans decide to accord US respect and tolerance them ~maybe~ we can show some modicum of restraint and not destroy their demonically inspired rag of a pseudo-religious text.

But frankly, even then I'd be inclined to preserve the psychotic ramblings of their prophet from hell only as a reference work under "Bad Examples."

Were I the CIC, I'd give these guys ARCOMs (or their service equivalent) along with a big "Attaboy!" Even more if they did it with extreme prejudice - which in this case would just be extreme good judgement.

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 Sir Charles James Napier, GCB (10 August 1782 – 29 August 1853), was a general of the British Empire and the British Army's Commander-in-Chief in India, notable for conquering the Sindh Province in what is now Pakistan.

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.

If he DARES to do this, the military should go into full mutiny. Period.

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.
