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 that 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 that 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 that 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 like to wipe my butt with it. ANd piss in a Iman's beard.
beautiful post....thank you!!!!
bagster
Well, I'd care that a toilet might have gotten plugged up. Other than that...
And do it in a Mosque in the US, in plain view of all the ACLU posters. Mosques in New York have posters in them telling a muslim what to do and who to call if they feel threatened or that their rights are being violated. In fact, piss on the ACLU while you are at it..
I wouldn't then the sh*t that was reading the koran would feel at home!!
You mean like when the PA took control of the Church of the Nativity and gave that treatment to the ancient Bibles contained there?
and code pink
I think you have just insulted sh#t everywhere.......
Wonder how many posts until the muzzy appeasers and sympathizers make an appearance
He would be locked up for a 'hate crime'.
Deer season starts in another week here in CA. (The 2nd season, if you will.)
I once took (1990) a picture of Saddam's picture on a bulls-eye to target my rifle.
Think I'll use the koran this year! It needs to have a few holes blasted into it. Maybe I'll hang some pork off it and try to shoot the pork off.
Nothing more cathartic than taking a dump on the Querran, followed by breakfast and strong coffee.
As for the ACLU, they are a corporal turd, I need not waste mine on them.
If Jimmy cracks corn but nobody cares, why does Jimmy keep it up?
Is it porcine abuse to feed Korans to hogs?
Hey, that's no pig that's my mullah! 8^O
