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.

Sounds good to me but I will have to have my husband do it.
They don't understand that their actions are putting power in the hands of those who will destroy this country. I'd like to say, "Wait and it will come back to haunt them," but unfortunately, their words and behavior will come back to haunt all of us.
Who cares? Give me just one case of killing three year-old Dana Falkenburg that they apologize for.
For maximal effect, make sure you get one printed in Arabic. If it's in English, it's not a "real" Koran.
Bacon grease and dog s**t are probably the worst things you can put on it. Maybe you can do the doorbell/flaming dog-poo trick at your local mosque with a Koran.

I would defile a thousand or more Korans to bring back Dana and her 8 y/o sister Zoe.
lol! Why? No sense of direction? (Hint...put it in the toilet first and you can't miss).
All Muslims aren't terrorists, but the *root* of the terrorism problem we're currently facing is Islam.
There is something about that belief system which at the very least *enables* terrorism. If Muslims had really wanted to define themselves as peaceful they would have quashed their terrorists and sympathizers of terrorists a long time ago.
Now if these guards had just done that with a Bible they could have obtained a government grant for their "performance art!
I'm in. Don't tell a liberal, though. I'll be proecuted for a thought crime.
The MSM has hate for the Bible and Love for the Koran? These people are lower then the middle of the earth.
I hear you, wardaddy.
Err, prosecuted. :)
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.
They make it seem as though this is the first time thats happened ever. Its probably been happening in Israeli and Indian prisons for a very long time.
Whats the big deal? its just a stupid book. :)
Will this be reported in "Newsleak"?
If it were me, I would have opened the damn book and taken a big, steaming dump. I would gladly shit in a Quran anytime.
There are a lot of sympathisers of terrorism in islam. Our fav dictator also justifies terror by saying the underlying "causes" need to be fixed. ya right.. more urine needed. :-)
Newsweek screwed up the story big time. They went fast and loose with a rumor, got important facts wrong and inspired fatal riots.
Among the things they misreported was that it was a DETAINEE that ripped up the book and tried to flush it down the toilet. I suspect that might have made a difference in world opinion.
Further one wonders why it was not reported that the military took the complaints seriously and disciplined soldiers who violated policy.
Let's see - the Muzzies themselves use it for toilet paper and other forms of desecration - and no-one blinks. A simple RUMOR of a US serviceman doing anything REMOTELY like desecration (including not storing it correctly) and the world is up in arms.
We can be as angry as we want about this story, and the terrorists, but most Muslims aren't terrorists.
All terrorists are muslim, however, 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?
Flame away, but it's the truth.
How about if I laugh instead? Your intellectual pantry is bare; playing the cool, calm and "reasonable" random person is an impersonation I ain't buying.
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..."
See you later, I'm training my dog...
