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.

I agree with you. But IMHO they are making fools of themselves. With their support of the fascist terrorist by equating the 3000 deaths on 9/11 with the mishandling of the Koran they minimizing the 9/11 tragedy. They are quickly undercutting the little credibility they have left.

When Muslim A stops blowing up Muslim B's mosque splashing copies of that book with Muslim B's blood, urine, guts, etc. then I'll care.

When our Nation's liberals explain why they respect Islam but malign the "religious right" I'll care.

I can deliver truck loads of cattle manure that is well moistured with urine upon request from any US military base commander. One or two phone calls and I'm sure the same high quality material from hogs would be available.

Mooselips murder Christians by the thousands and no words of outrage by the Stone Agers. The Cult's book gets dirty and they have a hissy fit. Typical, hateAmerica first crowd.

It's not the accuracy of the MSM the counts, it's the seriousness of the charge, well according to the liberal scum that write this tripe it is.

It's almost time to lay off more staff working for the MSM. They write this rubbish for two reasons:

1) To preach to the liberal base that slither in this hate bush propaganda.
2) To slowly increase the drum beat for impeachment against GWB for being a war criminal guilty of war crimes. This has been the objective of the MSM since Kerry's lose in the 2004 election which left the Democrats in shock and horror of four more years of Bush and the vile they feel about the possibility of GWB accomplishing anything in his second term to solidify his legacy as president.

The fact they couldn't do to him what they were free to accomplish against Nixon because of the new media makes the hate even worse. The worst slime to be put forward by the left and those who support them is still to come.

I expect that as the MSM grows more and more desperate, the allegations will get worse and more frequent and as that happens the general public will turn away from the MSM just as fast.

By the way, any Washington Nationals fans in the house? I hear George Soros wants to buy into the team, YUK!

Majoring on the minors. There have been hundreds of thousands of Iraqi muslims killed by the Hussein regime, and the press scarcely mentions that. They say, "We all know Hussein was a bad actor......", and that is supposed to suffice in the minds of the public that the subject matter was throroughly covered. MSM hates America, the military, fundamental American ideals. They major on "embarrasing people who tried to kill American soldiers, people who were 'splashed' with urine, and people who were forced to wear pantihose", all the while the real focal point should be on Arab cutting off the heads of innocent Iraqis,Jews, Americans.

If we're honest, we can't say that Christians have snuffed out all the evildoers in our midst.

You're kidding, right? If not... perhaps you can refresh my memory on cases of Christians strapping bombs to children in order to obliterate other children.

There may have been Christians that are whackjobs, but they are also roundly denounced by the rest of mainstream Christianity. Muslims do not denounce their whackjobs. They are embraced. Because they agree. The silence of Islam writ large to the evil they spawn, is deafening.

Maybe we should just declare Monday "National Pi$$ on the Qu'ran" Day and get it over with.

Totally unnecessary.

A Muslim holy book is stepped on and the Left goes berserk.

Meanwhile:

Muslims are and have been preaching hatred of everyone and anything that is not Muslim -- especially Americans, Jews, and Christians.

Muslims are and have been using suicide bombers (including children) to blast innocents into body parts.

Muslims are and have been indiscriminately firing rockets into civilian populations.

Muslims are and have been indiscriminately placing bombs in civilian areas.

Muslims are and have been -- while shouting "God is great" -- slicing the heads from their living, bound captives -- whose screams, final gasps for air, and grunts belie the savagery of their murderers.

Muslims have been hijacking aircraft and flying them into civilian buildings, murdering thousands of innocent men, women, and children (and incinerating any Bibles and Torahs contained therein).

Muslims are and have been burning Churches and Synagogues to the ground (and incinerating any Bibles and Torahs contained therein).

Muslims have been holding hostage and murdering hundreds of innocent children in their schools.
Muslims are and have been spreading mayhem, disruption, destruction, and death throughout the world -- wantonly attacking at will any neighbor who is not Muslim.

Muslims are and have been enslaving the populations of the nations which they have come to dominate.

Muslims have taken the good faith offering of billions of Western aide money and then thanked the West with protests, condemnation, and a big FU.

Muslims are and have been sneaking about the world, plotting the death and destruction of those who reach out their hands to them in friendship.

Muslims are and have been plotting to destroy the hard-earned assets of the societies of the West -- of which they are shamefully jealous (when compared to their lack of accomplishments).

Muslims are responsible for keeping a quarter of the World's population locked into squalid underachievement, and then blaming the prosperous non-Muslims for their failure to achieve.

Muslims are and have been plotting to murder millions with weapons of mass murder and destruction.

Etc., etc.

The Leftist MSM has been trying mightily to see the sheeple lose perspective. We can't let that happen.

I agree, but Christians haven't quashed the various wrongdoers in its midst, either.

Which Christians murdered thousands of innocent people by crashing planes into buildings and supporting homicide bombers in the middle east and asia?

there are apparently as many pentagon investigators at Gitmo taking depositions about Korans, as there are guards.

Imagine a scene in 1944, of the New York Times running a top-of-the-fold headline charging that U.S. Soldiers in Europe were being accused of urinating on a copy of Mein Kampf.

Do you want to stick around and actually discuss, or do you prefer to just hurl insults? I'd be happy to knock down your little house of cards, if you're game.

Will take what you say as a joke, and that no FReeper's were physically harmed at the time nor put into the positions for the purpose of taking photographs. Will assume you were put into this stressful position being afraid of failure to follow instructions from DU headquarters. However, you may still be found guilty of Troll crimes against humanity.

"I would have probably wiped my butt with it."

There are 6666 verses in the Koran. If you printed 1 verse per sheet, you could conceivably squeeze it onto 6 extra large rolls of toilet paper. You could probably even get Arabic and English translation on there. Sounds like a moneymaker to me.
