Further Evidence that Islam is the religion of peace. NOT!
It was Newsweek started this crap???
Yep. Don't you think manslaughter charges are appropriate? Or at the minimum, incitement to riot? Alternatively, at the maximum, treason?
We're going to lose another war thanks to our media.
Who gives a crap even if it did happen? Judaism and Christianity are attacked every day in Muslim countries. Lies are told about the Talmud, the Bible - people are arrested for promoting Christianity. Muslims have little respect for other religions, yet they scream bloody murder if someone "desecrates the Koran." Big whoop, even if someone did.
Settle down, guys. Everyone knows that Billy Graham and Pat Robertson rioted and called for a jihad at the image of the "Piss Christ". It's morally equivalent. /Sarcasm.
All of the above
Well they EVER learn?
THIS is the outrage. The pandering, the mollifying, the genuflecting. It's sickening.
There's quite a slaughter going on in Africa right now by the mohammedheads but it rarely makes news - and of course the worthless U.N. is doing nothing except lie, cheat, and steal.
Yes they are. Media types, be it print or broadcast, are all about ego and power.
They're only concern is beating their peers at a story. Right now I'm sure they're gloating over their influence on world events.
This event is over blown, no one even knows if it is true...and we will most likely never know.
This group of people is always looking to be offended, and would protest and riot of the President made a choice over "Less Filling" vs. "Tastes Great".
It seems that the writer, John Barry, and Newsweek knew the charges were unsubstantiated when the article was published. They are guilty of instigatiing riots and murder, and they should be held accountable.
Am I correct in thinking that Newsweek is owned by NBC?
Exactly! You tell me what would happen if a XPian was caught on the street in Saudi Arabia reading from the Holy Bible?
I understand your point .. but lives were put in danager ... Including Miltary lives
Everything we've done the last few years were put at stake because Newsweek is upset President Bush won the election
-Muslims have little respect for other religions, yet they scream bloody murder if someone "desecrates the Koran."-
You got that right. Instead of banging our heads in apology, we should be condemning the merciless killings of Christians in those same countries on a daily basis.
All the muslims need to do is throw a tantrum; they know from experience we're all too ready to pacify. Sickening.
Oops. Silly me.
Ah, diversity!
I am not interested interested in flushing Korans down the toilet. I'd sooner flush Newsweek down the toilet, but American plumbing can't take the load.
Exactly right. I guess now the evil American "perp" who did the dirty deed will be tried and put in jail and made an example.
This group of people is always looking to be offended, and would protest and riot if the President made a choice over "Less Filling" vs. "Tastes Great".
Heh. Least surprising headline of any day is..."Muslims (or Palestinan) rioted because (fill in the blank.)
And I guess they have forgotten the billions America gave to Muslim countries after the tsunami.
Not entirely true. We are also going to lose it because of ridiculous crap like this:
As Washington scrambled to calm the outrage, Condoleezza Rice, the US Secretary of State, promised an inquiry and punishment for any proven offenders.
Being in the army, hearing something like this pisses me off to no end. First the pandering to the "Religion of Peace" in the Abu Ghraib "scandal" by ruining the lives of soldiers who were so eeeevil as to put panties on murderous terrorists (the horror!) and now a promise to punish soldiers who allegedly disrespected the Islamic murder guide. Not only do alot of Americans not realize that we are in a war, but now it looks as if the damn government doesn't realize it either.
.But at Friday prayers in the Muslim world many preachers demanded vengeance and afterwards thousands took to the streets, burning American flags.
The hypocracy is incredible. The followers of the religion of peace heard a story about their manual being desecrated, so the followers of the religion of peace are now bloodthirsty and demanding vengeance.
