Saudi scholars want Islamic court to rule on alleged Quran abuse
Khaleej Times ^ | 5/21/05

RIYADH - Eighteen Saudi Muslim scholars and thinkers demanded Saturday that those involved in the alleged desecration of the Quran at the US detention facility of Guantanamo Bay be tried by an Islamic court.

“It won’t do any good if the State Department (eventually) apologizes or if it rejects this act, or if its authors are tried,” they said in a statement obtained by AFP.

“That would amount to throwing dust in the eyes as was the case in the trials of those who committed the crimes (of abusing prisoners at Iraq’s) Abu Ghraib jail ... The Islamic nation will not settle for less than the trial (of the Guantanamo culprits) by an Islamic court,” said the mostly Salafi signatories.

Riots have broken out across the Muslim world following a report in Newsweek magazine that US investigators had found that interrogators at Guantanamo Bay threw a Quran in a toilet to rattle Muslim inmates.

The magazine this week retracted the story after its source developed doubts, and the Pentagon has said its own investigation has found no evidence to support the allegation that Qurans were defiled at the offshore US prison.

“All Muslims are required to strive seriously and consistently to expose the intentions of the aggressor through various media and to revive the boycott of US products,” said the Saudi scholars, who also demanded the release of the Guantanamo detainees.

The imam of the grand mosque of Makkah, Abderrahman al-Sudais, told the faithful during Friday prayers that the United States should apologize swiftly to prevent a mounting wave of anger from growing any further.

UK Quran protests at U.S. Embassy

Saturday, May 21, 2005 Posted: 0817 GMT (1617 HKT)

LONDON, England (CNN) -- About 300 people have taken part in a noisy protest over the alleged desecration of the Quran outside the U.S. Embassy in central London.

Their demonstration was held Friday near the steps of the embassy in Grosvenor Square, which was guarded by a small detail of police.

A British policeman said the language was offensive and unpleasant in the extreme. But police overlooked that and the fact that more than a few of the young men in the crowd covered their faces, technically a violation of British law, according to the police.

Shouting, "Down, down USA; down, down USA," the protesters called for the killing of Americans, the death of the U.S. president, the death of British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the bombing of Britain, and the annihilation of the U.S. capital: "Nuke, nuke Washington; Nuke, nuke Washington! Bomb, bomb the Pentagon."

Some of the militant Islamic rhetoric smacked of incitement to commit murder, CNN's Senior International Correspondent Walter Rodgers reported. "Death, death Tony Blair; death, death Tony Blair. Death, death George Bush," the protesters chanted.

"The only language we speak today is the language of jihad," said one protester.

Does anyone know why all the images on this thread showing muslim atrocities and desecrations of other faiths have been replaced by little red "X"s?

"President of The United States calls for the Nuking of Saudia Arabia and Mecca"

How would the world react to that kind of statement?

Yet not a word when the nuking is directed at us.

#669 - Palestinian Friday Sermon by Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris: Muslims Will Rule America and Britain, Jews Are a Virus Resembling AIDS

Thanks for posting the link.

Look at modern history. Where has Great Britain gone? Where has Czarist Russia gone? Where has France gone - France, which almost ruled the entire world? Where is Nazi Germany, which massacred millions and ruled the world? Where did all these superpowers go?

They fail to recognize that these countries persecuted and murdered the jews. God paid them back.

America supports the Jews and their homeland and God protects us and rewards us with being a super power.

The imam of the grand mosque of Makkah, Abderrahman al-Sudais, told the faithful during Friday prayers that the United States should apologize swiftly to prevent a mounting wave of anger from growing any further.

Just as soon as you apologize to the over 3000 people you butchered on 911 all of their relatives and surviving children personally and one at a time

And Every American you have ever killed dating back to the founding of the United States and all of their relatives plus those apologies must be in writing so they can be archived in the American Library of Congress

Then you must supply ALL monies used to rebuild the Twin Towers and build the U.S. a bigger and better Pentagon building with outlying buildings included !

Then you must go on worldwide Television and apologize to the world for being such a backward looking cult of religion

“That would amount to throwing dust in the eyes as was the case in the trials of those who committed the crimes (of abusing prisoners at Iraq’s) Abu Ghraib jail ... The Islamic nation will not settle for less than the trial (of the Guantanamo culprits) by an Islamic court,” said the mostly Salafi signatories.

What you call Abuse you people do to woman and children for fun

By the way you must also Make in writing Apologies to all the survivors of the people who were brutally MURDEREDby Saddam the Madman

After all of that is done 1 round with a 44 magnum to the temple should suffice as payment for all the atrocities bestowed upon the people of the world you have abused since the beginning of your Cultist Religion
