ASHINGTON - The Pentagon on Friday confirmed for the first time that a U.S. soldier deliberately kicked a Guantanamo Bay prisoner's Muslim holy book in violation of the military's rules for handling the Quran.
In other confirmed incidents, prison guards threw water balloons in a cell block, causing an unspecified number of Qurans to get wet; a guard's urine splashed on a detainee and his Quran; an interrogator stepped on a Quran during an interrogation; and a two-word obscenity was written in English on the inside cover of a Quran.
The findings are among the results of an investigation last month by Brig. Gen. Jay Hood, the commander of the detention center in Cuba, that was triggered by a Newsweek magazine report — later retracted — that a U.S. soldier had flushed one Guantanamo Bay detainee's Quran down a toilet.
The story stirred worldwide controversy and the Bush administration blamed it for deadly demonstrations in Afghanistan.
Last week, Hood disclosed that he had confirmed five cases of mishandling of the Quran, but he refused to provide details. Allegations of Quran desecration at Guantanamo Bay have led to anti-American passions in many Muslim nations, although Pentagon officials have insisted that the problems were relatively minor and that U.S. commanders have gone to great lengths to enable detainees to practice their religion in captivity.
Hood said last week that he found no credible evidence that a Quran was ever flushed down a toilet. He said a prisoner who was reported to have complained to an FBI agent in 2002 that a military guard threw a Quran in the toilet has since told Hood's investigators that he never witnessed any form of Quran desecration.
Well, then, does this justify Christians killing infidels the next time they put a crucifix in a bottle of urine? Or, when Hustler makes the pope look like a child molester? Or, when the Left says anything to bash Christians?
as usual, I'll check it out. Thanx
yeah read the posts before the MODs zotted him on post 41.....
PS he was called out at the second reply, so what's with the quick draw artists?
While wearing a funny hat.
And, you better make that, "anti-American"

Hey Mike ? here is one for the troll.
Here's a favorite for you to add if you are building a library:
just because. This story has been posted numerous times already. When that happens, people tend to get messed with. Add to that he was brand new, with no posting history, he was REALLY going to be messed with. He only proved himself to be a troll further down....
LOL!!!!!!
That's not the spray can one I was thinking of, but good nonetheless. Saved for my personal collection - hope you don't mind. :-)
hehe I can't quite see it right now, but I know the scene it refers too.
Classic :)
yeah....it is a good one :)
The spray bottle one was further down :)
Good pic! THIS must be saved for my daughter, who'll use it frequently.
THAT'S the one, thanks!
You read it wrong.
Help yourself, it's already been stolen once that I know of! ;-)
Your being too critical - the Koran would make good toilet paper!
I guess I was reacting to the quick draw artists up top of the thread. Sorry I ruined everyone's zot party.
