I am Koranholio! I need koran for my bunghole!
(...and I don't care either.)

First, Newsweek pulled a Dan Rather on us, running a fabricated story just because they wanted it to be true. They told the world that an American guard at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center had ripped pages from a prisoner's Koran and flushed it down a toilet. As a result, innocent people died when practitioners of Islam rioted in protest in Afghanistan.
Oops, said Newsweek, it seems we can't back up our story. Oh well, it's probably true; we just can't prove it. (Isn't it convenient for Newsweek that the media now have "Deep Throat" to talk about so they can revel in their glory days and divert our attention from their criminal negligence.)
The lie heard round the world about the flushed Koran has caused convulsions in the Bush Administration and forced the Pentagon to launch an investigation of unfounded allegations contained in an unsubstantiated story. The results of said investigation are now in, and it seems there are at least five incidents of "mishandling" of the Koran at Gitmo.
Well, guess what? I don't care!
Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?
Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?
Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.
I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured ... I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank ... I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts ... I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and -- you guessed it -- I don't care!

I pinged you and it should work. Sorry about that. I really don't know what happened.
So what if it was first post here:
I didn't find that post, I found this one...
So guess what....like the story say "I don't care"!!!!!
Chicken Shiite Holy Korap ping!
Like that country song goes: "My Give a Damns Busted"
"I'm sure many all bent out of shape over the HOOOOOLLLLLYYYYY KORAN got a big chuckle out of this show."
It's sort of like how "holy cities" sprung up overnight in Iraq, hitherto unknown. Purpose being to hamstring US forces, which are well-known for making every attempt to avoid causing damage to such sites. So, just make them up for tactical advantage, knowing that the MSM in the US will run with it, for two reasons: one, they're clueless about religion at best, and, two, they're not exactly cheering for a US success in the region.
I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper...
Nope...
Sorry...
Nothin'
(2nd verse)
You can say you've got issues.
You can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault,
After all you didn't pick em
Well maybe Oprah's got time to listen.
My give a damn's busted.
Exactly !!!
Very clever!
I guess Christians weren't enough!
Sweet!!
Thanks for pinging all those people.
I certainly don't give a flyin' rip about any of this Koran $hit.
I want to know why some in the media, press and yes, even in Congress care more about the terrorists that are trying to kill us
Then they do about the American People???
Bump - Thanks for the ping.
Well .. we have laws for destroying property; malicious mischief .. that kind of stuff. We have no need to go around killing people over it.
But .. Arab nations live by the sword. If you commit a crime you die - they're raised that way so I don't know why people expect them to act civilized.
I don't care, either. Like someone else has said, everything I ever wanted to know about Islam, I learned on 9/11.
The New Testaments frees us from the curse of the law of the Old Testament through Jesus Christ.
