This is absolutely unf…ing believbable. After reading this article I’m almost totally speechless. Read it for yourselves. Here’s the link.
Mods, if I have wrongly used this link please correct it for me so that everyone can read the article.

I read about this too… This is something I literally may picket about. It makes me absolutely sick.
Not to mention another source stated its within practice to burn a Koran if it had been marked in…
NATO has agreed to have the soldiers who burned copies of the Quran face trial…
See there is the problem right there in red.
So I guess we are going to hang our US Soldiers for burning a couple copies of a trash book?
I might just buy a few copies on Amazon today and use the pages to fire-start my new Chiminea I bought.
:lol:
Part of the three-page letter to Karzai said, “I extend to you and the Afghan people my sincere apologies. We will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible.”
Three page letter? WTF, and I don’t mean Win The Future.
I assume they would be charged with some kind of conduct charge, not some sharia law citation. The article is interesting, but a little misleading and over the top.
Did some 9/11 remains just get dumped in a landfil? How many court cases over that?
I always thought Quran burning was good extremist indicator. Light up a Quran and pop any one in the head who attacks you. I was outraged when Sinead O’conner ripped up a picture of the Pope. I just stopped listening to her music.
NATO officials could mean US Generals. Either way, these dumb troops are gonna be hung out to dry so we can appease our muslim masters. The most powerful military in the history of the universe bows to a bunch of peasants.
I am literally almost sick at my stomach over this.
It’s bad enough to fight and die in the sandbox. It’s worse to do so for a bunch of panty waist Beta-male pussies who get all weepy eyed that some enemy soldiers’ baby feelings might have been hurt.
Shouldn’t we instead be hunting down and killing the TERRORISTS who killed US troops simply because they burned a book that advocates violence to non Muslims?
This is like putting Patton on trial because he pissed in the Rhine river and that offended Germans and made them fight harder.
It really is as simple as this:
If you burn a Koran Afghan Muslims will hate us and want to kill us.
If you DON’T burn a Koran Afghan Muslims will hate us and want to kill us.
I am continuously astounded that those in charge of the war don’t seem to understand this simple fact. The reality is the only thing that WON’T make Afghan Muslims will hate us and want to kill us is IF we all converted to Islam and even then there are no guarantees.
This whole “putting US soldiers on trial for offending Muslims” really only accomplishes one thing, it makes us seem weak to our enemies and that encourages them to continuing fighting.
I’m not surprised. Isn’t that sad? The worst part, this bullshit has become the norm. We can’t even reasonably claim outrage any more, because this is the game we play now. this is what we signed up for, letting people impose extreme political correctness on us.
The fact we’re still in NATO disgusts me. The fact we aren’t manipulating our position as the most powerful nation on earth disgusts me. The fact people get butt-hurt over this disgusts me.
To quote someone better than me:
“FUCK I HATE THE ENEMY!!!
I can not believe the voluntary ankle-grab the planet is continually posturing in for these stone age parasites.”
Another thing that really pisses me off about this whole issue is that in the initial reports state the reason the books were burned was that they were written in by Taliban/Afghan prisoners at the prison at Bagram and those messages were being passed on to others outside of the prison. According to Islam writing in the Quran would make the book impure and the only way to purify it would be to burn the book. So the military followed Islamic law and burned the books acccording to their laws. However, the administration has shown no outrage at what is going on over there and has not put forth the true reasoning behind the burnings. Instead they have thrown our military under the bus and promised to hold those responsible accountable. Obama apologizes and shows no spine what so ever. Typical
Gimme a break.
This is never gonna happen. It’s just another bullshit story from a fundamentalist religious website looking to stoke up some controversy.
Search the intergoogle. This same story is popping up on all the ultra-conservative websites. That should be a clue. When somebody finds one credible source to substantiate the claims in the article, get back to me.
And isn’t the actual reason the korans were burned because detainees were using the books to pass messages back and forth? Isn’t writing in the koran considering defacing a sacred text? So why isn’t that POS Karzai calling for public beheadings of the Afghans scribbling mash notes to each other? Sorry, but it’s time to tell these fucking people to settle their own hash and get the hell out … yesterday!
ETA: Sorry, watrdawg, for the repeat. I should have been reading instead writing.
Except for the fact that we’ve already done this kind of thing many times. Gitmo ring a bell? I know WND is hardly an unbiased source, but it remains plausible in cases like this.
Truth has nothing to do with an opportunity to demonize the US so we can start ass kissing those who would kill us if given a chance.
Guys what can we do to help support them?
Guys, this is just silly. Karzai has shown time and time again that he is willing to throw his American and NATO “allies” under the bus to placate the islamists and the Taliban. His grip on power is so tenuous he has no choice but to kowtow to the extremists lest they fry his ass. He’s playing both sides of the street and everybody knows it. That’s why both sides loathe him and no one trusts him. He’s going to tell the Afghan people whatever it takes to buy himself another 24 hours.
As for American serviceman being turned over to an imaginary Afghan national government that can’t even control the capital to stand trial for burning a fucking book, what are you guy’s smokin’? I realize a large number of M4C members consider President Obama an incompetent and a fool, but do you truly believe a Commander-in-Chief is going to let these shit-stained neanderthals pass judgment on U.S. soldiers operating in a combat theatre? And in an election year, no less? That’s just beyond stupid.
You have to be shitting me??? Do you for one second TRULY believe that the “CoC” actually cares about those that he’s supposed to “lead”??? Really?
Do you really think he cares much about an “election year”?? By his action in just the last couple months, I think not!
Oh, for chrissakes, grow up.
Can we get some confirmation from a site that isn’t always full of shit?
That being said, if true it is bullshit.
Ha thats the best line in the whole move. “What is this a center for ants”
I can’t find any credible sources to confirm this. In addition, I can’t imagine that Obama would be stupid enough to allow this during an election year. The public outcry would be deafening.
