Ask Me if I Care About 'Mishandling' of Koran
By Doug Patton
June 6, 2005
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!
Eff That ! Go get two more Anti Islamic Speakers. If they complain about that, get two more. If they complain about that get two more.
eh, you get the pitcher
They took the flying imans case so as to make U.S. airlines safe for terrorism and maybe they have accomplished it.
If CAIR is against it, I am all for it.
I thought the FBI put them out of business anyway? Why the hell are they still walking around loose?
Another form of organized racism, but much worse.
Sign me up with that "hate group"!
I want to be there! She’s very good!
Brigitte IS an ARAB!
...and the horse you rode in on.
The silent witness for the Tea Party is the hole in the ground in lower Manhattan.
Doug Patton expressed my thoughts better than I could! AMEN
FABOM!
Doug Patton expressed my thoughts better than I could! AMEN
FABOM!
Well gosh I would think CAIR would welcome this after all dont they favor a “diversity of opinion” out there. LOL!
Note to self: Add Brigitte Gabriel’s books to my reading list.
My wife and I are strongly opposed to Sharia for the United States. Does that make us a hate group?
And what will CAIR do if this speaker isn’t dropped? Send a threatening fartwa to the Tea Party?
A very compelling, well written story of her childhood growing up in peaceful Lebanon and how multiculturalism led to the takeover by radical Muslims.
I can see why CAIR is not a fan. She is well informed, passionate and effective.
Screw CAIR; they have known Terrorist ties..and can go shove PORK!
When it comes to Islam, no truth telling is allowed (if CAIR can prevent it).
I expect those Panhandle folks to ignore CAIR. That ain’t south Florida, or even central Florida.
I believe that a certain Mr. Breitbart has the perfect response to the CAIR representative...based on his response to the NAALCP
