Newsweek's blunder illuminates extremists' major shortcoming - (7th century mindset blamed)

National Review Online's Marshall suggested Newsweek probably didn't know desecrating a Quran is a capital offense in "Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, and elsewhere" — with enlightened Pakistan meting out only life imprisonment. Frankly, if we tolerate artwork such as "Piss Christ" and "Dung Virgin," we should be able to shrug off Commode Quran.

As a Pakistani journalist told The New York Times, the Newsweek item confirmed suspicions of "a straight disrespect for the sensitivities of Muslims."

Please. We see the "sensitivities" of some Muslims blowing up other Muslims on a daily basis in Iraq. We saw the sensitivities of Albanian Muslims on a rampage in March 2004, when they destroyed more than 30 Orthodox churches and monasteries in Kosovo. We saw the sensitivities of Taliban Muslims in 2001 when they dynamited the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan. We saw the sensitivities of Palestinian Muslims when in 2000 they violently obliterated Joseph's Tomb in Nablus. In 2002, Nigerian Muslims took their sensitivities to the streets after This Day newspaper reported on beauty pageant contestants so lovely the prophet Mohammed would "probably have chosen a wife from one of them." Before you could say, "The Quran is in the toilet," more than 200 people lost their lives in riots that also left 11,000 people homeless. Also in 2002, armed Palestinian guerrillas and their sensitivities occupied the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. As the Jerusalem Post reported, "Catholic priests later said that some Bibles were torn up for toilet paper."

I don't recall riots breaking out in St. Peter's Square. Which is why the West still stands on one side of the chasm, and Islam stands on the other. From this vantage point, we can give Newsweek a pass — but not such violently uncivilized behavior.

If I knew how to do it, I'd video every way I could think of to rip, tear, slash, stain, burn, and otherwise abuse, every copy of that filthy and vile book so beloved by the murderers of innocents, the kor an.

Then I'd put those movies on every frikkin website these murdering monsters of the moon death cult frequent and use.

(My pigs won't eat the pages of that vile thing, but they do so enjoy relieving themselves on its shredded pages.)

Remember this one, which was posted twice last winter? It's a bit like a paraphrase of John F. Kennedy's inaugural speech, "Let the word go forth from this time and place...........that if you 7th century barbarians let loose ANY harmful substances, or attack the United States of America by any means whatsoever, you're going to witness the largest conflagrations in all of your major cities that you could possibly imagine!"

WorldNetDaily ^ | December 4, 2004 | David C. Atkins Back in the days of the Cold War, the U.S. had a nuclear-weapons doctrine called Mutual Assured Destruction, or MAD for short. This doctrine held that if the U.S. were attacked with weapons of mass destruction, or WMD, we would immediately and without debate counter-attack the homeland of the perpetrator in such a way and with such overwhelming nuclear force as to make the cost of the initial attack too much to bear. For instance, if the Soviet Union or the Chinese would have attacked us with WMD in the Cold War, we would have counter-attacked at the very least...

I don't think mutual assured destruction works with the mad mullahs. They could care less about their people or their cities.

They only care about Mad Mo's black moon rock. That's the only deterrent target they care about.

Thanks for the ping!

[swilhelm73]

Exactly.

What was the first thing you thought off when hearing a claim that a Koran was being flushed down a toilet? Obviously that you can't flush something like a book down a toilet. Heck, most people learn this during potty training.

So to assume the Newsweek, with its self proclaimed crack fact checkers, let this one through by accident is a joke.

[Carolinamom]

AND..they WANTED THIS STORY TO BE TRUE.

Chris Mathews asked Howard Fineman, "Is it possible that this story COULD BE true?" Fineman's replied, "Yes, it COULD BE true."

I heard this exchange myself and could not believe such disgusting pap for public consumption. Fanning the flames of rumor, they continue to WISH that it's true.

It is high time that this 7th century blood and death cult (which is NOT a religion) be discredited and extinguished

I think News "weak" needs a good dose of justice. The entire left seems more concerned in igniting hostilities rather than attempting to bring the groups close together. It's a conspiracy worthy of Palpatine, except there are no brains involved.

I mean, what do they hope and expect? A rat will get elected to a seat of power and the terrorists will decide that we can all get along? Methinks the reality will be more along the lines of the terrorists demanding "All American Christians and Jews be turned over" and the left thinking, "this is within reason, yes?"

But Char,

The Muslims don't have 100 cities. I figure at best they have 10 worth a bomb:)

Corpone

[muir_redwoods]

Until muslims see human life as at least as sacred as their koran they will be the screaming children of the world lost in the illogic of their collective cultural tantrum.

[Cornpone]

Char,

After reading this post I have my suggested first strike target list ready:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1407952/posts

First Strike ( Strategic Nuclear)

1) Mecca

2) Medina

3) Riyadh

4) Jiddah

5) Al Jubayl

6) Tehran

7) Damascus

8) Khartoum

9) Peshawar

First Strike (Tactical Nuclear)

10) Bekka Valley (Lebanon)

First Strike (Bulldozers)

11) Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock (Jerusalem)

I am preparing my second strike target list.

Funny, I was thinking that the perfect metaphor for Islamofascism and modernity was that little too do in Florida with Ja'eisha attacking the asst. priniciple with impunity destroying things and impervious to reason. She was an infant out of control, knew she had the upper hand, and any attempts to control her would reflect not on her abyssmal behaviour, but on the system. They would have to justify themselves, not she. She was absolutely defiant of any reasonable attempts to control her, had no other agenda than her own will, and was only able to quiet herself when real force(the cops with cuffs) showed up. She was primitive as children without self control are, but not stupid.

Thus ends the lesson. LOL.

Since this 7th Century mindset is so overwhelmingly
pervasive in the East, perhaps Psy Ops of our armed forces might wish to consider finding as many operable pottis in Baghdad as they can, and begin inserting mass printed Korans in them ASAP. The more terrorists into the meat grinder, the better. Its time Muslims joined the modern era. Besides, just think how many constipated terrorists would not be able to aim properly!
