Afghanistan: 2 U.S. troops killed, 4 wounded by Afghan soldier, reportedly over latest round of Qur'an Rage

Marisol. It appears you forgot to close the italic tag around "excuse du jour" it's making the entire front page below it italic.

These deaths are totally preventable.

Will General John Allen be taping a video to express his extreme sadness and displeasure over these latest in a long string of murders of his troops at the hands of our trusted ally, the noble Afghan Army?

Courts-martial to follow, no doubt.

Somehow I don't think the fawning apologies of both General Allen and Sec. of Defence Penetta had much effect on these Afghan muslim savages. Oh well: what's a little more American blood & treasure spent on wortless COIN tactics and naive nation-building among a stone-age people drunk on the violent teachings of a phony prophet?

The topper is that Muslims may be using their own qurans to send messages back and forth to one another. Who is 'defiling' the sacred book?

I wonder how soon it will be before the US receives an apology from the Afghan gov't official expressing his sorrow over this travesty.

Outrageous. American and NATO soldiers should not have to be sitting ducks for this kind of treachery. In Afghanistan we should only have small military forces directed to take out specific enemy targets. We should not require them to be sitting targets who are exposed to all kinds of opportunistic deceptive murderous treachery.

On the subject of Islamic Rage.

Here is V S Naipaul, in 'Among the Believers' (1981; 2010).

In chapter 4, 'The Rice Goddess' (he is in Indonesia), Naipaul speaks of 'the flaw that ran right through Islamic history: to the political issues it raised, it offered no political or practical solution. It offered only the faith. It offered only the Prophet, who wold settle everything - but who had ceased to exist. This political Islam was rage, anarchy".

Then, in Chapter 7: "The Interchangeable Revolutions".

"'To replace all this'. **Islam sanctified rage** {my emphasis - dda} - rage about the faith, political rage: one could be like the other. And more than once on this journey [ that is, from newly-Islamic Iran through Pakistan and Malaysia to Indonesia - dda] I had met sensitive men who were ready to contemplate great convulsions".

And in the same chapter, a Muslim businessman from Sulawesi, in Jakarta, says to Naipaul: "We have to kill a lot of people. We have to kill one or two million of these Javanese...", and then, again, the same man tells Naipaul -

"The fight that's coming will be between the people in the universities and the people in the pesantren [that is, the madrasas - dda]. One day the students from the pesantren will come to Jakarta and burn down this nice hotel.

**"Islam can become a cocaine. It makes you high. You go to that mosque and you get high. And when you get high, everything that happens becomes Allah's will".** {my emphasis - dda}.

'It had happened before in Indonesia, this mass slaughter. In 1965 the communists had been wiped out. A million people had been killed, he said, not half a million, as was now given out. And more should have been killed: there were two and a half million commiunists at the time. So a million and a half had escaped killing, and many of them were still around....".

Naipaul puts his finger on it: Islam *sanctifies* rage - mob rage that can lead to orgies of vandalism, orgies of mass murder.

Let's write to Congress (www.congress.org):

Dear Representative:

Qur'ans were used in Afghanistan as a means of communications by the enemy combatants. Those ciphers/communiques were intercepted, confiscated, and destroyed so the enemy combatants could never have access to them. But, because Sharia law forbids the burning of Qur'ans, our President is apologizing and promising to follow Sharia law instead of U.S. law. The same tactic is used when enemy combatants hold up in mosques, and are assured of a safe place from which to shoot at U.S. troops. The same tactic is used when human shields are used and killed, and the responsibility is placed on U.S. troops instead of those who use human shields and the U.S. pays blood money (prescribed by Sharia law) to the families of human shields, accomplices, and jihadists themselves. Our troops were used like this for ten years with their hands tied and the enemy combatants protected by Sharia law. This weakening and killing off of our troops was only used to procure Islamic democracies with Islamic Constitutions enforced by Sharia law. Now, President Obama has sent our troops to Africa to fight against the only opposition force to the genocidal jihad conquering the oil-rich countries of Africa. This outrageous and seditious waste of the lives and health of U.S. troops must stop.

As a member of the United States Congress, I am asking and expecting you to put an end to enforcement of Sharia law by U.S. troops, to redefine the parameters when fighting against Islamic enemy combatants, to place the responsibility for using human shields, mosques, and Qur'ans squarely on the shoulders of those who use them, and to prohibit and forbid U.S. troops from being subjected to Sharia law, officially or unofficially. Let U.S. troops only be used to support the U.S. Constitution, let them only answerable to U.S. law, and only deployed when the safety of U.S. citizens is in eminent jeopardy. Station U.S. troops at U.S. borders and stop them from being used as pawns in the Muslim Brotherhood's global jihad.

Just more actions by the "noble Afghan people" as the groveling General Allen describes them...
