How many Bibles have the heretics burned along with the bodies of those that would dare to speak its truth?

Newsweek Kills--from roger l. simon.com:

299 Words from Newsweek...
... have yielded death in the streets of Kabul. This lgf post prompted me to go back to the original Newsweek article by Michael Isikoff and John Berry that alleges a Quran was flushed down a Guantanamo toilet (the proximate cause of the carnage in Kabul). It comes from an anonymous source! For their sakes, I hope Isikoff and Barry's source proves to be accurate because who would want these deaths on their conscience? The NYT recently went on a crusade against anonymously sourced reporting. So should Newsweek. So should we all.

I don't give a d*** about their "holy book" These savages are marching in the street tearing up their own place because of something they heard? No one even knows if it is true, but they all take to the streets like the animals they are.

There is nothing we can do with these savages in the middle east. They are ignorant, unruly beasts. We should level some sand and launch a massive takover of the whole crappy place.

Put manure on all Korans. In fact, every outside "john" should have a Koran to wipe butts on. Death to Islam!

in at least one case flushed a holy book down the toilet

Must be a hell of a toilet to flush an entire book.

No we don't want it, just isolate it and import only pork foodstuffs.I do agree their holy book is a POS and the toilet is the correct place.

Maybe it was a perverse joke. What if these guys just got drunk one night and thought, "Hey, know how stupid and emotive those Muslims are? Why don't we print a story and see how many kill each other rioting over a lie about desecrating the Qur'an? I bet you 10 we get at least a dozen." Think that is possible? Just a suggestion, not an anonymous tip.

[F]our people died and scores were injured in riots sparked by reports that U.S. interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center had desecrated the Qur’an.

I'd hate to think anyone died in vain!  Look fellas, I'm not in Gitmo, but what if I promise to go home, take one of my used copies of jusaf ali's translation of the koran, put it on my Webber grill, pour a little bacon fat on it, burn it and then extinguish it, uh... naturally?  Would that make you all feel better?  I won't wait for an answer, because I'm sure it will.

Festivities commence 6:15 eastern time.

How ungrateful! It seems that we had run out of toilet paper at Gitmo and being the gracious hosts that we are, we wanted to make sure our "guests" had ample paper to wipe their stinking asses with. We apologize for any inconvenience or insensitivity.

There are a lot of conservative Christians in this country who revere the Bible, but would any of them riot if they found out the Bible was being desecrated in some Muslim country? No way.

If we can get them to kill each other by desecrating the Kuran, that opens a whole new range of possibilities.

Sort of like east central LA? 'Course that didn't start in a medical school.
