New York Times (Muslims respect enemy dead)

New York Times ^ | 7/24/03

"The photos, graphically depicting the bodies of two men, appeared likely to inflame the sensibilities of some Iraqis, even those with mixed feelings about the men. The graphic display of the corpses, along with the evidence that they had not been buried immediately after their deaths, runs against a custom held across the Muslim world, where the dead, even enemy dead, are accorded great respect. "

All of you posting pictures.....can you send THOSE PICTURES to the NYT? PLEASE.

Muslim Somalis drag a Blackhawk pilot's dead body through the streets of Mogadishu...

The Iranian story is new to me...savages.

"Death is not enough. They should have been hung up on poles in a square in Baghdad so all Iraqis could see them. Then they should have died as people ate them alive," said businessman Khalil Ali.

I know Iraqis must be starving but... the offal is better fed to hogs.

[Alouette]

are there any pro-american New Yorkers at all?

Thank you. That was the exact image that went through my head when I saw this title.

Burn 'em. Burn 'em all.

I'm going to have to say "I told you so" to all those who defended releasing the photos of the dead men. This was bound to create a big flap, a big sideshow, and give opponents of the war an issue we didn't need to give them. RELEASING THE PHOTOS WAS IDIOTIC! With the media still hanging on to the "16 words" story, did anyone think they would let the dead-men photos go by without raising a big stink?

Mogadishu

That's more typical of the respect granted by the masses. There may be a Muslim ideal, but most would probably have to spend some time in confession every week just like Christians who practice confession.

[Dick Bachert]

Hell, based on reliable reports, these "muslims" are so respectful, they have buried THOUSANDS BEFORE they were dead!

And remember that Fidel Castro got his job through the NYT.

S**T! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!

[Eva]

The NYT has been reduced to idiotic blathering. I sent the article to Best of the Web, they will probably have some fun with it.

Don't forget our Soldiers whose bodies were dragged naked through the streets in Somolia. That was done by Muslims also.

[VRWC_minion]

There will be flack no matter what Bush does.

You shame me.

I get carried away with rhetoric, and forget that opro-americans ARE everywhere, they just dont get the same news coverage. . .

[Roughneck]

"Don't forget our Soldiers whose bodies were dragged naked through the streets in Somolia. That was done by Muslims also."

Isn't that MuSlime?

[Maigrey]

Let's add in all the slaughtered Kurds and Sh'iites and kids....

Islam is NOT a religion
– it is a CULT OF HATE

ACTION PLAN:

1) Assemble fleet of troop transport vessels in port cities; 2) move, via bus and/or train all US dwelling Muslims (immigrant or American Born Muslims ABM) to said ports; 3) Load all muslims onto ships, send forthwith to any middle east muslim country; 4) Bulldoze all mosques and islamic schools in US;
5) Concurrently, close borders with military; 6) Pop any American brewed beer, gloat over job well accomplished and relax.

[LandOfTheFreeHomeOfTheBrave]

What about all those thousands of bodies/skeletal remains they found in the warehouse from the Iran/Iraq war?

[Redcloak]

Huh? I thought that they fired Jayson Blair. When did they bring him back?
