What no heads taken and used as soccer balls.

Then they haven't been abused.

Guess there weren't enough panties for everyone.

Wotta shame.

[RoseofTexas]

One of the fastest growing religion in prisons today is Islam! A dangerous mix if they are ever let out!!

Wotta shame.

Screw 'em.

only 12 were determined to warrant further review. Of those, only the inmate case involved potentially criminal behavior, Fine said.

In other words, it's a non-story. Compare that to the number or Christians or agnositics where abuse probably occurred.

Most of the public reading this nevertheless will come away with the general impression that we're abusing the hell out of muslims who are arrested, just as the AP intended.

[Skooz]

I don't care.

[usgator]

just as the AP intended

And Reuters, NY Times, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, Boston Globe, BBC, Time and Newsweek.

Thank God! I was worried to death that someone may have done something REALLY despicable, like put panties on their heads or something. I'd like to see the report itself. The writer mentions a couple of short quotes and fills in the rest, which makes me wonder if this isn't an embellishment of the facts.

[SIDENET]

Beat them with pork chops. I hear that they like that.

[kanecorp]

This is a non-issue in my book.

Judging from the responses on this thread so far except for yours, the AP is conveying the message it intended.

[BubbaTex]

HEY!

What the heck's wrong with wearing panties on your head? I usually do so when I'm getting undies out of the drier.

Used to bug my wife. But she does have a good sense of humor.

Confusion.  Every message here seems to be the exact opposite of what AP intended.

[Dog Gone]

True, but we're right-wing reactionaries who think panties on the head is not only funny, but a pretty darn good idea.

The true story here is that, if anything, we're bending over backwards to NOT mistreat muslims in any way when they're imprisoned. How will this story be viewed in the muslim world?

When I'm getting undies out of the drier I usually wear a pair of coconut tits and cowboy boots - that's it. My wife doesn't know I do this.

Another AP propaganda piece.

Ship them first class to the arab or muslim hell hole country of their choice with no re-entry, ever.

No islam, no terror.

[usgator]

Understood.

So what DOES this mean:

so far except for yours, the AP is conveying the message it intended.

?????

[Dog Gone]

It means that the majority of my fellow Freepers are reading this story as though it confirms that we're abusing large numbers of muslims in the prisons, and they like that.

The AP wanted readers to think that we're abusing large numbers of muslims and that it is horrible.
