Somehow, coverage of the Newsweek story has taken as fact that Newsweek is responsible for muslim rioting and muslim violence and muslim deaths. No. Newsweek may have reported in error (big surprise), but muslims are the only ones responsible for their behavior. Such out of control antics seem a clear indication of a sad place on the ladder of brain evolution. Pitiful, just pitiful. It may be time for the news media to shine a bright light on that desperate muslim mentality and to identify it for what it is: a blind, hate-filled effort to preserve its last excuse for failure. Or do the 24/7 news stations prefer to advance the notion that the Koran, above and beyond all other books ever written on the planet, Earth, must be protected and safeguarded against even a hint of abuse or disregard? If that be their position, it may be time for some serious full speed wake-up slaps!
I completely understand your position and personally I don't care what Muslims do to each other as a result of their inability to act rationally and with some sense of human respect for themselves and others. I also agree that to apologize, whether the story is true or not, elevates Islam and the Koran to a false superiority. However, I do think Newsweek should be held accountable for the danger it needlessly placed our troops and national interests in.
