Reuters Wire ^ | 6/3/05 7:25 Eastern

American jailers at the Guantanamo prison base for foreign terrorism suspects splashed a Koran with urine, kicked and stepped on the Islamic holy book and soaked it in water, the US Military said on Friday.

US Southern Command, responsible for the prision at the US Naval base at Guananamo bay, Cuba, described for the first time five cases of 'mishandling' of the Koran by US personnel confirmed by a newly completed military inquiry, said officials in a statement.

Not at all. Not at all what? Are you used to expressing yourself in half thoughts?

What are you talking about? All terrorists are muslim, however,

Timothy McVeigh was a Muslim? Learn somethin' never ever' day! and that's close enough as to not matter. In addition, for every cockroach who is killed, there are a hundred in the corners pretending to be human beings, but providing the necessary logistics, planning, supplies, information, moral, physical and financial support. Not all Germans were Nazis, and not all Japanese were war criminals. Is there a rational point in that observation? Anywhere?

I agree, there is not a rational point in your observation, anywhere. Flame away, but it's the truth. How about if I laugh instead?

Couldn't care less what you do. Your intellectual pantry is bare; playing the cool, calm and "reasonable" random person is an impersonation I ain't buying.

I have no idea who you are, why should I care what you buy? Your "intellectual" retort amounts to "No it isn't!" Wow, I can't battle intellectual firepower like that! As for the trite phrase, "it's the truth", don't you realize how lame that is? e.g. "...muslims are a cross between cockroaches and maggots; and that's the truth..."

I can see you believe the truth is trite, so why bother replying to your bizarre post, since most of it is your weird self-congratulatory gibberish that doesn't even attempt to deal with the issue. Your fear of the truth drips from your post. See you later, I'm training my dog...,

That poor dog.

Moral equivalance: I agree, but Christians haven't quashed the various wrongdoers in its midst, either. It's all about individual, not group, responsibility. Let's not create a standard for Muslims we aren't prepared to live by ourselves. If we're honest, we can't say that Christians have snuffed out all the evildoers in our midst. I expect Muslims to stomp on the terrorists in their midst, to speak out against terror. They haven't. But most Muslims have no more say over the actions of other Muslims than most Christians do over other Christians. It doesn't let them off the hook, it's just an observation of reality.

That's moral equivalence.

No it's not moral equivalence. You really should look up the definition before you toss such phrases around.

Not once in that quote do I say that the terrorists and the bad folks in Christianity are the same. I say that Christians haven't snuffed out all the bad Christians; that's a rather obvious point. I never equated the morality of the 9-11 hijackers and suicide bombers with the "bad guys" in CHristianity. Once you learn to read in context instead of attempting to twist words to make your silly point you will understand.

My neighbor hasn't painted his car. Neither have I painted mine. No moral equivalence there. Sorry, you lose.

"Moral equivalence" is a bullshit Leftist term. It should rightfully be replaced by the more accurate term "moral supremacy" -- which has been successfully demonized by the Left over 30-40 years. The last time moral supremacy succeeded was in 1945, when those with the highest morality (WE THE PEOPLE) utterly destroyed the amoral enemy (fascists/socilists).

Wonder if that same artist would put a Koran in a pot filled with excrement and call it art? No, didn't think so, because he knows some Muslim would cut him fro throat to navel if he did and then blow up the Museum.

Just for you I'm going to order a copy or three (it's nice having multiple addresses).

Seeing that I'm about to have a new puppy it'll make the perfect material for toilet training. I'll probably sent the results back to CAIR just so they can know that the Koran can be put to good use.

Whatever harm Americans have done to the demonic writings pales compared to those destroyed by the savages that have blown up mosques (sunni vs shiite and vice versa), and the nutjobs that have sought to destroy their neighbours.

Islam is not a religion, it is a bunch of whackjobs that follow the writings of a child molester. From evil comes evil. We could do no harm by defiling it.

If the military were the National Endowment for the Arts and the Quran were a cross or a Bible, the liberals would not only be hailing this as "art" but insisting we should fund more of it.

The irony is that we would have been proud of it. Now EVEN THE PENTAGON acts ashamed.

What a change!

I agree with you that we are morally superior to our enemy. Like you say, moral equivelancy IS a leftist term.

Slavery is equal to freedom, just different and not everybody can handle freedom, donchano.

That's what Dr. Hilarious is trying to say. Christians kill people too, so what's the difference?

I'll reply if you can quote where I suggested any Christian did anything on the level of suicide bombing. One quote will suffice.

Of course you didn't say that. That's pretty much the point. The point is about perspective. We dishonor a paperback book, and they take a gentle innocent little girl and use C4 to blast her blood and organs all over the inside of a restaurant.

There is no moral equivalence there.
