Help Me Understand

OK, maybe I’m just dense.

If you park a car bomb in front of a Mosque and detonate your explosives, thereby killing yourself and 40 Iraqi worshipers and destroy the Mosque, how many Quran’s are damaged or destroyed?

Dozens?

Dozens of dozens?

Since there have been a number of Mosques destroyed recently, I want to know what is the big %$#*& deal about a US soldier kicking a Muslim prisoner’s Quran or throwing some water balloons and getting a Quran wet?

U.S. Confirms Gitmo Soldier Kicked Quran

By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer

WASHINGTON - U.S. military officials say no guard at the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects flushed a detainee's Quran down the toilet, but they disclosed that a Muslim holy book was splashed with urine.

In other newly disclosed incidents, a detainee's Quran was deliberately kicked and another's was stepped on.

On March 25, a detainee complained to guards that "urine came through an air vent" and splashed on him and his Quran. A guard admitted he was at fault, but a report released Friday evening offering new details about Quran mishandling incidents did not make clear whether the guard intended the result.

In another confirmed incident, water balloons thrown by prison guards caused an unspecified number of Qurans to get wet, and in a confirmed but ambiguous case, a two-word obscenity was written in English on the inside cover of a Quran.”


First, I’m wondering why they don’t more accurately call Robert Burns, the “AP Military Writer,” a “Military Critic?”

Further, why isn’t Robert Burns, AP “Military Writer,” breathlessly telling us about the number of charred remains of Qurans that have been found clutched in the dismembered hands found outside the destroyed Mosque?

Why isn’t Comrad Robert Burns, AP “Military Writer” (Columbia leftist Journalism School class of 1990) printing photos along with his stories showing the stacks of Qurans soaked with water sprayed on the Mosque by Muslim firefighters dousing the fire started by the wild eyed Islamic Jihadist Towel Head Muslim that blew himself up?

Yeah, you know the answer as well as I do…
