And no one in the West has the guts to call them out on this irrational violence. An update on this story. "Qur'an burning protests rage as death toll reaches 23 in Afghanistan," from Reuters, February 24 (thanks to David):
Twelve people were killed on Friday in the bloodiest day yet in protests that have raged across Afghanistan over the desecration of copies of the Muslim holy book at a Nato military base with riot police and soldiers on high alert braced for more violence.The burning of the Qur'ans at the Bagram compound earlier this week has deepened public mistrust of Nato forces struggling to stabilise Afghanistan before foreign combat troops withdraw in 2014.
Hundreds of Afghans marched towards the palace of Afghan president Hamid Karzai in Kabul, while on the other side of the capital protesters hoisted the white flag of the Taliban.
Chanting "Death to America!" and "Long live Islam!", protesters also threw rocks at police in Kabul, while Afghan army helicopters circled above.
Friday is a holy day and the official weekly holiday in Afghanistan and mosques in the capital drew large crowds, with police in pick-up trucks posted on nearby streets.
Armed protesters took refuge in shops in the eastern part of the city, where they killed one demonstrator, said police at the scene. In another Kabul rally, police said they were unsure who fired the shots that killed a second protester.
Seven more protesters were killed in the western province of Herat, two more in eastern Khost province and one in the relatively peaceful northern Baghlan province, health and local officials said. In Herat, around 500 men charged at the US consulate.
President Barack Obama had sent a letter to Karzai apologising for the unintentional burning of the Qur'ans at Nato's main Bagram air base, north of Kabul, after Afghan labourers found charred copies while collecting rubbish.
Muslims consider the Qur'an to be the literal word of God and treat each copy with deep reverence. Desecration is considered one of the worst forms of blasphemy....
And still the rage goes on!!
I think Obama needs to be called on what he thinks is 'sacred' in the Ko_ran.
The best that could happen would be for someone tomorrow morning to find some dirt cheap substitute for oil that would bring no income to the Muslim world.
They could go back to killing each other with weapons two or three world wars old.
And we could ignore them as we did so successfully until all that oil money made them dangerous.
Strange thing.
Elsewhere, on an islamic site where questions are asked and answers are given, I read:
"In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
With regards to disposing and getting rid of unwanted Islamic literature, many classical jurists (fuqaha) state that the best way to get rid of it is to bury it in a place where people normally would not walk". (source: sunniforum, http://tinyurl.com/7xhgr9m )
Protesters killing one another.
Why should anyone care?
We don't need a dirt-cheap substitute for oil. We can ignore Afghanistan right now, if we choose to. We leave and let the place take care of itself. If it becomes a haven for terrorists, that's the Afghans' problem.
We should never ever let them lay a guilt trip on us for 'abandoning them'. They can live in peace. The choice is theirs.
It's time we ended 'the good war'. It's now a pointless war, and a wasted effort.
When Korans are destroyed when Sunni Muslims bomb Shite mosques or vice versa, why is there no Muslim outrage? Does Koran "desecration" only apply when an infidel destroys (even accidently) a Koran?

"where people normally would not walk"
Does that mean we can throw the stuff in a garbage dump?
How about dumping used korans at sea?
9:5 "Kill the unbelievers (in the Oneness of Allah, mushrikun)
wherever ye find them"
(canceled early Medina verse 2:190/191 )
Hmmmmmmm......so where was the outrage when 19 muslims destroyed all the Qurans inside the WTC towers and razed the Mini-Mosques????
Oh wait.....they dead Muslims that CAIR talks about are really martyrs now with Mo the pedophile ,and the Mosques and Qurans in the WTC towers were to advance Shariah law and sacrafice them as Allah's will to inflict Terror in the hearts of the enemies as in the Quran.
Taqqiyah at its best when dougie hooper cries victim but show no ourage that his 19 brothers cremated qurans and other muslims.
i still want to know how many non-muslims have to be slaughtered on US soil to justify people questioning if islam does =Peace. Would Hooper have been happier if 50'000 died that day the the Towers fell over to ruin 1000 feet of real estate x2 towers?????
Just image the tolerance and Victory Church if McViegh had hijacked a 747 to fly into the Kabar Rock in Mekkah during Hajj to slaught 1000's of muslims. Ya, right, the saudis would call for calm and now blame all westerners for the action of a criminal. The Hooper would tell Churches in the West to beef up security because of backlash that we know WOULD come.
Most muslims appear to volunteer to be offended and act out like simians to even murder other muslims as a favour to the simian God like in Planet Of The Apes 2 ( 1970's).
i billon people with books that coach them to slaughter the 6 billion to bring about peace, hey....lets find them one big lan mass and they can slaughter each other and then will have Peace to be rid of the misunderstanders that ruin it for the 1% of the peaceful muslims .
It matters.
"Muslims consider the Qur'an to be the literal word of God and treat each copy with deep reverence. Desecration is considered one of the worst forms of blasphemy...."
Really, well the Taliban did not show reverence for their quran when they wrote secret war plans on the pages of this so-called holy book, which is why these qurans were burned in the first place. Isn't writing on its pages desecrating it? ..not that I care, since every quran; ie, manual for murder, deserves to be burned.
BTW
For several year canada was played for the Sucker nation by Muslim tamils that came here as "refugees" flee oppression in Sri lanka, the were peaceful pople obeying the law and wanting a better life .
Well guess what, not only were Tamil-Terrorists supporters
raising money in canada via Welfare cheques portion and by threats of violence by Tamil thugs...Terorist supporters spit and assaulted the Toronto Police as the females used babies as Human Shileds to storm a major highway and occupy canada land for the war they told us they fled for peace in canada.
The PC media ,and then Mayor , David Miller, didn't have the guts to call them out as cowards or be arrested for Child-abuse and take the kids away from the terrorists suporters .
Well....check out this Video from yesterday where the Media reported 37 People rounded up for Insurance fraud by staged car accidents and then the weasel lawyers and Weasel Doctors conspired in the scam to bilk Companies out of millions.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHb1dk5ipi0
But it gets better folks, people wanted to know why a tamil Cop was called in on the Press release???
We now see that all the scam-artists were those oppressed Muslim tamils (watch for the hijab-jane arrested among the verbally abusive muslim males) thatcame to canada as refugess to live in peace.
And as usual we here how the vast majority of tamil as hard working people that helped build canada and are proud of canada and obey the laws...blah blah blah blah.
Police Chief Blair was the same Chief at a 100% muslim press meeting after 18 muslims were rounded-up before they executed their plot to slaughter 10'000 canadians for Allah's cause, Chief Blair was forced to say the islam and muslims had NOTHINF to do witgh the terrorism plot and that the majoirty of mulsim are peaceful and reject violence,blah blah blah blah blah blah.
I knew right after the media refused to ID the faith or background that they were either Muslims or Refugess, and bingo....muslim/refugee/tamils to boot.
The Liberals better wake-up fast and smell the Burkas and blood because history shows us the the muslims create poverty and crimes in every Western nation they pour into for the last 30 years, the prisons are filling up and the cities have No-Go zones for gays and jews while the Police blame the victims for inciting muslims to attack them or do acts of terrorism.
The original Liberal/white/guilt version of the CBC report was so vague it made it look as if 32 million canadians woke up recently and chose to be criminals in insurance fraud scams . The Refugee-status makes it impossibel to be deported because these tamils just claim they will be tortured if the go back, but now the ROMA gypsys are pulling scams in canada too as Bogus refugees but then we see the Police reporting theft rings in Stores by ROMA's caught om tape.
Time to send them packing and I'll even pay for some of the plane tickets and a cry towel for the flight as they still play the victim and plot to sneak back into canada and cheat welfare and businesses.
Gotta love those muslims findinh ways to send money back home for terrorism along with tamil Tiger supporting muslims pi$$ing on the Grave of our War dead that paid for the Liberty and peace they now spit on.
Actually, PMK, I think you hit on a point, accidentally. At first I agreed, and then I began to rethink. Voila!
There is a point to the war. It has been painfully, horribly, priceless, to illuminate the fundamental truths of islam for so many people, some of whom have wandered into learning the miserable truths of islam, as in no other way. The garbage of islam has been illuminated all over the web, in hundreds of venues, or thousands. And increasingly, people are beginning to see the murderous butchering and liar’s ways, of a gang. Even as with peripheral vision, when not searching for knowledge, people are absorbing casually, the mafia nazi behavior of the muslims.
And like a vaccine, It is a necessary and invaluable source of strategic and military knowledge, that has adjusted and updated our strategic and military methodology, and theory. Much will eventually be applied later, when more worthwhile leaders are in place than the muslim brainwashed fools in the current administration.
In what other way, as well and so quickly, can people see the gangland behaviors, the treachery, the lying, week after endless week, day after day, as with Iraq, afghan, iran, pakistan, saudi, and 50 or so others?
So, although emotionally, I can see the pointlessness, analytically, I can see immense point, on many levels. It is indescribably wrong that even one life of an American or NATO alliance soldier or civilian has been lost, because of the earth’s load of islam garbage. However, we’ve become smarter, on how to reduce losses, and we have already lost thousands of innocent lives of civilians and soldiers, since our founding, as a nation, directly due to enemy action against islam, as has the West, way over 100million people, lost to humanoid brainwashed garbage!
The true problem is we are at real war that is declared and renewed declared, and demonstrated and acted upon by them, time and again, by islam leaders, our enemy, starting with mo in AD632CE with his little gang of islam. Never forget that, ever, for a moment! Until the day a Martel or Sobieski, or a Patton steps into the picture, and whip their a**es back into their holes, this will continue, unending, like we are living a nightmare Groundhog Day.
And there actually is no peace, when everyone is islam, ever, because they must murder each other, as lesser islams. This is demonstrated daily, globally, for those who look to see the truth. So caving and capitulation can never ever be the answer on all levels—lan astaslem, forever!
So, to every allahu ahkbar, lan astaslem is the anwer, rhetorically, of course, since it is a grand masquerade of theirs.
Non-moslims who live in islamic countries should keep a few qurans around hidden through out their houses, businesses, and places of worship and let that fact be known through out the moslim community. This would (or should) keep the moslims from fire bombing and tourching said buildings.
Call it a "quran shield". Similar to a human shield, only using qurans. It works out good for all because I value a quran about as much as moslims value human life. NOT AT ALL! NONE! ZIP! NADA!
But I am willing to wager that there is some stipulation or circumstance where letting a quran burn for no reason is acceptable to moslims. They seem to always have the bases covered.
I guess that's what happens when you make up the rules as you go, like mohammed did when concockting this vile religion of disgusting sludge.
TJ very well put. I really believe what the devil said in 'The devils advocate' Never let them see you coming but hey!! islam is so in our face today that even my leftie friends are beginning to question their kumbaiya lifestyle.
I think it would be nice if Obama on bended knee and hand over his heart apologize to all muslims everywhere for the koran burnings. Let the country get so sick of these abject grovelers in the pentigon and white house that they throw them out. Newt at least had the courage to call them out and say the right thing. And get rid of the Mark Martin judge in PA. ph. for the judicial conduct board is 717-234-7911 Give them a call right now.
ala sux before I even read the news report about the insurance scam ring being broken, I said to myself just you watch it'll be muzlums. Well, sure enough when I saw the news clip on TV, they carted away a hijabbed muzlima and other dark hairy assorted creatures, yep mostly muzlums and tamils. This is one of the reasons auto insurance has gone through the roof in Ontario.
And there was also a report last week of an auto parts and auto theft ring being busted. Guess what part of town - yup Islington and Albion, the heart of little somalila. Why exactly do we need these criminals in our country? We have more than enough of our own, we don't need to import them by the thousands from dar al islam.
I'm surprised they are not rioting in front of Queens Park (yet) the koran burning rage, like the motoon riots, might just spread.
TJFREEDOMJIHAD, I said it's NOW a pointless war.
I agree with you. It was good that we did it. We tried.
It WAS a good war. We did our best but the people of Afghanistan weren't interested in freedom or coexistence.
It took a long time but Osama is feeding the fishes.
Our soldiers should come home from all Muslim lands with their heads held high and we should bar the door once they are safely home. No more Muslim immigration, no matter what sob stories they tell us.
The Islamic world sees a lot of natural disasters. Let them call someone else for help with the next earthquake.
I would like to see the next president make Mecca's Assured Destruction our policy. We will leave the Muslim world to rot or find its own way. They can wage jihad all they want, as long as NONE of them are allowed to set foot in the US. Reverse isolation should be our policy. We don't close ourselves off from the world. We bar one billion of the world's people (about fifteen percent?) from our shores. The remaining eighty percent or so are welcome.
{فَخُذُوهُمْ وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ}
"Then seize them and kill them wherever you come upon them!"
("Extremist message" in the Qur'an)
Great minds think alike!
The ultimate sin in Islam is Shirk - assigning partners to Allah.
Yet the Afghans worship a book so much that when the book is damaged they go crazy and murder 23 people.

I will. I'm in the West.
So:
1.) Someone mistakenly burns some Korans for some reason.
2.) That offends Muslims.
3.) Muslims riot in protest.
4.) Muslims kill each other over it during riots.

I propose a new word to describe these types of events - a 'Korantrum'.
A cross between 'Koran' and 'tantrum'. Do you see what I did there? Do you? Smart...
About half of the middle east is now foaming at the mouth, snearing, and growling. Looking for someone to kill. It doesn't matter who. Anyone will do. They care not who. They just want to kill!
That just ain't right. What is wrong with those people. Are they rabid? Did they just get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Did someone just piss in their cherrios? What? Are they not human? There must be an explanation.
Oh wait! I remember! They are taught to act that way through the teachings of the quran. The very book that was distroyed accidently by a U.S. military officer. The very book that should be distroyed intentionaly every time it is seen. We actually did them a favor by destroying the ones that caused them to go into this fit of rage.
I'm confused now.....There is just no hope for them.
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.
Korans at 10 paces, anybody?
