Marilyn Manson regularly tore pages out of the bible at his concerts. How many people were killed in the "ensuing" riots?
0. But that doesn't mean it's right. We should grant the Koran as much reverence as the Bible. Even if it is everything we say and more, going around insulting their faith is not going to win us any friends. We have a real chance at creating moderate Islam, let's not blow it. I have no question that the US mlitary does that. I think the allegations are bs. Yet it needs to be disproved decisively.
America isn't politically in the dark ages though
