Idiots.
* Wake up
* Pray to Allah, asking for "permission" to die while killing non-Muslims
* Eat breakfast (Muslim food only, non-Muslim food is given to pigs & monkeys)
* Scour propaganda newspapers and al-Jazeera for something new, no matter how small, about America to hate
* At 8:00am, join a local protest
* Burn American flag / burn Bush in effigy
* Chant the original tag line, "Death to America!"
* If necessary, take time out for a family honor-killing or two
* At 5:00pm, go home
* Eat dinner
* Slap wife around
* Pray to Allah for something like the ten-billionth time
* Go to sleep, hoping to have good dreams of killing the infidel / America in ashes
Lather at the mouth, rinse the infidel blood, repeat...
Is this another case of a news source wanting to believe something and running with the story on the flimsiest of sources? I wish there were a way to investigate Newsweek and its non source. This may be in the same league as Dan Rather and the Newsweek staff may be pleased with the result and publicity.
For some reason I wasn't an expecting an 'It's OK, forget about it'.
Bring along some lard and a very big dog for extra fun.
Can we riot, burn the Saudi or Paki embassy and slaughter any Muslims we catch because some poor, raped girl is executed for adultry or because they executed somebody for converting to Christianity?
Nope. Guess not. What a pain it is to be civilized.
Interestingly enough, Newsweek has an Arabic issue but there was no mention of the apology in this week's issue"
Agreed. I wonder how they'd feel about stuffing one into a ham?
"They can call it sacred if they want to but they are not going to force me to treat it like they want it treated. They don't hold the same respect for the Bible so why do they think we who are not Muslims should show respect for their book."
I don't suggest that you try and express that opinion in a Muslim country. I would also suggest not expressing it around too many Muslims. They consider the Koran to be much more than I book. Purposefully defiling the Koran is considerd a direct attack on their religion, and they take that VERY seriously.
There are a lot of things you can say or do that are legal to say or do in the US, but you know that are going to deeply offend some people. If you offend the wrong people badly enough, you're going to pay a high price regardless of the law.
I also think that Muslims do show considerable respect for the Bible as well. I wouldn't desecrate a Bible in a muslim country either if you value your health and freedom.
Snip:
""Interestingly enough, Newsweek has an Arabic issue but there was no mention of the apology in this week's issue.""
Not to worry --- the magazine is taking a good sized hit,
but Muslims of the Koran/Quron are Muslims I fear.
I like your parenthesis around "moderate" as though there are such.
Gee. They sure are touchy about their precious book.
Religion of peace. Newsweek lied, but the Moose-lims killed their own. Savages.
Wonderful!!
You sir are on to something there. I only wish that many of our fellow FReepers would look at the situation with a little more scrutiny as you did.
Read the story again and you will begin to realize how the "facts" actually have no bearing in the case.
And so now, despite the event being untrue the Muslims are going to continue their riots and protests. Why?
I agree 110%!
Let's conduct a full, thorough investigation of who this "anonymous source" is. Let's find out exactly what happened over at Newsweek.
As to the apology... what good does that do? And apology only has value depending of where it comes from. An apology from this Rag?... It has no meaning to me or the Military. If they could be sued for imcopentent, shoddy reporting... that would mean something.
AND of course... no one in FR SHOULD EVER spend one penny on this RAG!
I guess that means they won't buy newsweek magazine,too bad.
I don't agree with the implied premise that even if the story is true, that it's justification to riot, shout "Death to America", and declare Holy War. I wish the White House would grow a spine and communicate this position. Also, this so called cleric calling for Holy War against America should be hunted down and killed. Why do we as a country put up with this?
Has anyone asked Issakopf, exactly where that perticular law is written in America's laws? I don't ever remember hearing there was a law against it.
