I guess Newsweek ran a story saying that a copy of the Koran had been flushed down a toilet at Guantanamo Bay by some US interrogators. After some Muslims/Afganis read this they proceeded to riot, kill and spew even more anti-US garbage. At least 15 have been killed and hundreds more injured in protests of this action.
I say WHO CARES about the feelings or opinions of anyone who reacts this way to the words in a weekly publication. I will personally defecate on and flush every Koran (Quran) down the toilet in protest to this ignorance and pure hatred for life. I am sorry that these people are so full of hatred in the name of their religion. It doesnt sound like a very healthy way to live life. Killing people just because you read that a symbol of your religion was flushed in a toilet.
Why are we (the US) tiptoeing around that nation trying to keep their feelings, freedoms and religion in tact? If we are at war with them then they dont have these rights in my opinion… they had these rights, but they obviously cant handle anything. How many Americans are they going to behead, or how many US flags are they going to burn over one holy book being flushed? I dont see how one inanimate object (the Koran) can equal deaths of any human and a hatred for an entire nation.
I dont think Newsweek should retract or apologize for this. I dont think Bush should apologize for this either. I think we should blast them.
That is my rant, and I am sorry if it isnt positive or peaceful, but I think we have tried that route with this area of the world, only to find failure.
Additionally, the al-Qaida put out a statement claiming that the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s recent visit to Iraq has desecrated their land. Good. Lets send her back… desecrate their land. Better yet, bomb the hell out of their land. I try to understand their point of view, but they never cease to amaze me in their ignorance and lack of any logic. They only want to fight. They even say : “You should know that our (the Sunni) way is fighting you.”
How can we debate with them or try to talk sense into them if this is their way of life? Only one way: violence. They say : “You will not get away with insulting God’s book.”… I say “You will not live much longer, so you better start reading your book a little bit closer.”
What kind of religion puts its own symbols above another human life? I dont think its the religion, I think it is a mass of very insane people trying to use a religion to explain their insanity. There is no cure for them I am sorry.
Ok, end of my angry and bitter rant.
For more info on these stories:
Right on.
And what the heck is this all about… “People lost their lives. People are dead,†Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said. “People need to be very careful about what they say, just as they need to be careful about what they do.â€
People need to be careful about what they say??? Isn’t America built on the idea of FREEDOM OF SPEECH? Shouldn’t we be allowed to say WHATEVER WE FEEL?? And I was under the assumption that if someone is in PRISON then they usually did something to deserve to be there. Right? So why on Earth are the damn detainees even given a copy of their holy book? They should feel lucky to have a shirt on their back, and some food in their belly. Take everything away from them! Tie them up to a post and let them rot. We don’t even allow PRAYER IN OUR SCHOOLS, so why should the damn prisoners get what they want???
Here’s another wonderful statement… On Tuesday, Pakistan’s Information Minister, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, said “the apology and retraction are not enough.â€
“They should understand the sentiments of Muslims and think 101 times before publishing news which hurt feelings of Muslims,†he said of Newsweek.
Think 101 times before publishing news which hurts your feelings??? Just about every news story out there hurts my feelings. Children being abducted from their bedrooms and slain, old ladies getting raped in their houses, people using abortion as a means of birth control, PEOPLE CRASHING AIRPLANES INTO BUILDINGS!!!! Those things hurt my feelings, yet they happen, and there is nothing I can do about it. Suck it up. Shed a tear. Life goes on. If you don’t like the story, DON’T READ IT!
Let’s just carpet bomb that whole area of the world. But first, be sure everyone has a copy of their holy book…
It’s interesting how the second article is now different from what it was yesterday…
If the Muslims hate the US so much… what are they doing hanging from every word our media says? Americans dont believe most of what our media says, so what is the Msulim world half way across the Earth doing reading Newsweek?
I dont think Moslems have much to hope for in their lives. Im not even sure they have a word for hope or peace or even love… which saddens me.. the only sure way to Allah is to blow yourself to smithereens… some god they worship >.<
i think that the comments were inappropiate and should not be spoken or read about. It may be an opinion but not a hatred. And mostly get your sources right for the four responses you people assume to much why don’t you open a book for once and read about religions instead of over exaggerating. Idiots.
I think the comments should be read and talked about, especially since we have a little right called “Freedom of Speech.”
I dont think a book about religion would help me understand what the outrage over the Koran is all about. I also dont remember assuming anything more than what our media has said about this ridiculous and sad event.
Instead of calling names, why dont you lay some of your book reading knowledge on us. Help us to stop assuming, spread your wisdom… unless you are lacking as well.
