I think they were mad because they didn't know what a toilet
was. I mean, they see this picture of this white, round, porcelain thing- something they've never seen before in their life, and right away they figure it's gotta be some kind of machine made especially to chew up the Koran.

"And why are they ignorant and primitive?

They believe in an 'Ignorant' and 'Primitive' religion."

Such brevity. You're exactly right, and so what is beyond "merely" frustrating is the fact that the pervasive and insidious political correctness has long since infected the chief executive and his administration. All of them are just so SO careful to be "respectful" and even REVERENT with regard to what is - as you correctly describe this monster - an "ignorant and primitive religion!"

How any SANE individual can continue to blather on about how Islam is "a religion of PEACE," and "one of the world's GREAT religions," simply boggles my mind.

The Newsweak fiasco is the perfect example of what we accentuate her on fr constantly. It perfectly illustrates left wing bias,America is always wrong, in the old media and why our new media--the net, talk radio and a few t.v. stations is slowly winning the battle of how the world will one day get it's unbiased news.

We already distrust most of what we read or hear with the old/Msm./rat media. It won't be long before the rest of the country and then the world does the same. The day will come when old media rants and bias's are so obvious that they become a non factor. It's changing every day.

"Since many have not been permitted religious freedom, who knows how the prisoners would react to being told that it is "okay" to read up on another faith."

Sorry, probably would not work, as most of these slime balls--AS WELL AS THE MAJORITY OF MUSLIMS--are ILLETERATE!

Of course we could put the Bible on tape.

HEY, just had a stroke of genius (Ok VANITY--LOL)

Why not do just that? Why not translate the Torah, especially, seeing how they hate Jews so much, as well as the Bible into Arabic and put it on tapes and play it TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY?

The ONLY other thing I can think of, which would send them "over the top," would be to play "Sheets" Byrd speeches. LOL

Now, how long do y'all think it would be (oh, about a New York minute!!) before the ACLU, sued, claiming "separation of Church and State"; "Religious persecution"; and of course, "Torture."

If it was up to me, I would fee them nothing but pork, 3 times a day and watch them "squeal." (Pun Intended)

Great piece tells it like it is Charlite.
Makes you wonder why the American press(MSM/OLD Media) constantly takes the side of the "peaceful world of the muslim terrorists".
Who the hell's side are they on anyway!!

I don't take them all as being illiterate. Of course, I would not expect them to all know English, so we could offer translated versions.

I would not force any religious texts on them, just let them know that they are not in an Islamic state and have the freedom of religion to accept or reject Islam.

There have been Al-Qaeda training manuals (including "what to do while under interrogation") captured so obviously some of them can read.

Do Muslims really revere the Koran so much more than Christians and Jews do the Bible?

Yes, it's called idolatry.
