Afghan's Karzai demands public trial for Quran burners

KABUL -- Afghanistan wants NATO to put on public trial those who burned copies of the Quran at a NATO base, President Hamid Karzai's office said Thursday, after a third day of bloody protests over the incident.

It said NATO had agreed to a trial, but that could not be immediately confirmed.

Karzai had earlier accused a U.S. officer of "ignorantly" burning copies of the Quran, in an incident that has deepened anti-Western sentiment in a country NATO is trying to stabilize before foreign combat troops leave by the end of 2014.

Demonstrations have drawn thousands of angry Afghans to the streets, chanting "Death to America!" amid violence that has killed 11 people including two U.S. service personnel.

June 9, 1999
joint statement of 13 conservative Christian groups. In the words of Paul M. Weyrich, president of the Free Congress Association:

“Until the Army withdraws all official support and approval from Witchcraft, no Christian should enlist or re-enlist in the Army, and Christian parents should not allow their children to join the Army. An Army that sponsors Satanic rituals is unworthy of representing the United States of America.”

There is absolutely no reason to sacrifice American lives for a conflict we have no intention of winning with an already announced withdrawal date.

All that we are doing now is allowing free target practice.

As always, we should have gone in, lopped off heads, promised to return for more of the same if they bothered us again, and then gotten ourselves out of there with the reprisal victory that we had won within months of entry.

Now we know.

Mebbe that trial ought to be held right here in the USA

Pick a city, any large city

let’s let a jury and the American public hear all about islamic law, about islam, and about how book burning deserves imprisonment, mutiliation, or death

bring it

Looks like 0bama found a way to get out of Afghanistan.. Have a Quran burning and ‘accidentally reveal on purpose’ that it happened. We’ll be out of Afghanistan by the election, just as 0bama planned it. And with our tails between our legs, but would 0bama have it any other way?

This is no time to apologize or show remorse.

Start by penalizing Afghanistan a million dollars a day until the protesters are gone and charge them for all damages.

If they don't come through, then take military action against one of their units closest to Karzai - start by leveling one of their barracks.

These people only respond to strength and force. If we don't take tough action now the next time the radicals will do worse.

I heard a female comedian talk about Afghanistan after doing a USO tour.

She said.....

“People ask me how much money it would take to “fix” Afghanistan? I don’t know. I want you to imagine a number - first number that pops into your head when I ask “How much would it take to “fix” the moon?”. Same difference.”

You know, if any country could benefit from being slagged into a glass surface, this would be the one. The best thing for the U.S. is to completely pull out right now, and warn the motherfuchers if a single U.S. citizen or piece of property is harmed in the future from anyone originating from this miserable piece-of-shite country, then immediate slagging would occur.

We need to win the war decisvely...and we can. And if we are too PC and stupid to do so...we need to leave them to their own devices.

Anyone still think these people can maintain anything remotely close to a civilized society?

I used to, but not too sure any longer.

No.

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.”

Winston Churchill

from “The River War: An Account of the Reconquest of Sudan”

Never thought I’d see the day the US government was giving the Catholic church the finger and turning our soldiers over to foreign courts.

Oh well - go pay your taxes. Your government is broke. :)

Time to draw the line. Nobody is going on trial for burning a bunch of defaced Korans.

Thank you for your post.

Winston Churchill certainly recognized evil before everyone else.

It appears that a U.S. officer has been isolated as having given the order for the burning. Yet there's no proof yet on who did what....just charges flying around.

Amazingly, I don't see one word in this thread about the poor SOB U.S. soldiers who are going to get the pipe on this. There'll be a goat or goats who will be drawn and quartered by the Obama administration.....including his minions, spokesmen, czars, cabinet secretaries and slavering tools in the traitorous media....all of whom will demand the heads, the careers, the lives, the blood, the very breath of any of our guys over there who (gasp) played a part in this world-shaking, horrendous burning of Rome....oops, the Koran.

Even the perfumed princes of the military class will not protect their under-officers and individual troops in this case.....it's too toxic politicallyfor them to step forward and defend any subordinate(s).

We are led by by too many eunuchs both politically and militarily. Pity the poor army patsies who will be fingered by the Emperor Nero Zero to be thrown to the snarling lions in the world coliseum.

The moslems have been taxing, humiliating and killing non-moslems, burning their religious texts/books, and attacking & destroying their places of worship for centuries! Acts that have continued to this day in more than a few moslem countries.

Yet they expect & in fact demand the same people they call “najess” (impure), “Kafir” (disbeliever) & Jahiel (ignorant) to help them when they need it! It is time to give them a dose of their own medicine.

Time to decamp and leave these fools to their fate of living in mud huts and killing each other. Nation building is a failure.

Sad to say this as a retired military, but you are correct. If those savages want to live in the 6th century, let them live that way. Just leave enough small arms ammo and C4 to blow up all of their fellow savages. Take a fully loaded squadron of bombers filled with queerans with self lighting fuel and fuses and drop them over the entire country.
