Newsweek magazine said ... US personnel on one occasion flushed a copy of Islam's most holy book "down the toilet"

Pakistani officials should be reminded that much of what is said by the U.S. media is incomplete, inaccurate, or completely false.

Grut, I am sorry you felt I wasn't fair in my comment. I did give room for it to have been potentially disrespectful.

Disrespectful of the religion, ehhhh maybe, punishable by death?

But, I am of the belief that all these things are just things. Even the Bible talks about all things will pass away, no humans, no earth, no written word... One should be of the faith that the 'desecration' is to the object, if the belief system is true, the act of descration can't affect the God.

"Pakistani officials should be reminded that much of what is said by the U.S. media is incomplete, inaccurate, or completely false."

But that assumes these 'officials' are rational...

Insulting the Koran and Islam's Prophet Mohammed is regarded as blasphemy and punishable by death in Pakistan.

The Koran is useful only for toilet paper and I hereby insult it to the fullest extent possible.

And the "prophet" Mo Mo was a child molesting, goat lover whose only spiritual guidence was from his father, the devil. I hereby insult Mohammed, also to the fullest extent possible.

Pakistan can come and get me.

"Mr Dost also said inmates' beards were shaved and the prisoners were shouted at during interrogations."

Why waste your money to buy the 'book'? Go to your nearest Islamic center, mosque, ACLU, or any other Islaminatzie whacko organization, tell them you're 'interested', and get the free tissue-paper-book at the enemy's expense!

Oh, and one more thing, take your gun with you, and don't give anyone any address.

"The government of Pakistan condemns the incident and demands that an inquiry should be conducted to bring to justice the perpetrators of this shameful act," he said.

Award the soldiers who did it an ARCOM (look it up). THAT would be appropriate!

Insulting the Koran and Islam's Prophet Mohammed is regarded as blasphemy and punishable by death in Pakistan.

How can one insult a lying, murdering, thieving, child molesting goat lover and pederast who makes up a cult with a book so obtuse and unintelligible that his own twisted followers can't even make it out? Seems to me that if telling the truth about an uncouth criminal charlatan who had the sexual tastes of a perverted psychopath is blasphemy, then these folks need to find a better cult to sell their souls to.

What does a Muslim man say to a Muslim woman with two black eyes?

Nothing.

He already told her twice.

Oh, I agree and I wasn't aiming my criticism at you, but at the many Freepers who wax wroth over insults to our holy things and then mock Moslem indignation over similar insults to theirs. Whether things are 'holy' or just things, that much blindness to the other guy's viewpoint is a block to the eventual reconciliation of Moslems and the West.

How about the scum that flew planes into buildings in the name of Islam? Did they defame the Koran?

Boy these Muslims are stupid.

They will believe any lie that leads to hatred. But you have to give them a break on this one. It is not as obvious to them that a book is too big to flush down a toilet, as most of them have never seen a toilet.

It's a 7th century thingie...

"Putting a crucifix in a glass of urine is the same sort of thing and if we're going to get indignant about the one, we ought to allow Muslims' indignation about the other."

On the contrary. Since the MSM ridiculed us for expressing outrage about "PC", Gitmo mooselimbs can eat sh!t, or the Koran, whichever is served first.

If we should "Be fair.", show us where the BBC reported that "PC" had officials "deeply dismayed", "highly objectionable", "[Vatican] is a key US ally in its war against terrorism", "act of sacrilege had shocked people of every faith around the world", "act is regarded as blasphemy" -- and all within the same article.

Furthermore, "PC" was partially funded by a $15,000 NEA grant. If our tax dollars are going to be used in such a way, then I fully support $15,000 to be used in the production of award medals for Gitmo interrogators who came up with the idea.
