Man they sure are grateful for that help in toppling their dictator. [quote] A furious mob has desecrated dozens of Commonwealth War Graves in a Libyan cemetery amid continuing fury in the Middle East over the burning of the Koran by U.S. soldiers. Headstones commemorating British and Allied servicemen, killed during World War II campaigns in the Western Desert, lay smashed and strewn across Benghazi Military Cemetery. Protesters rampaged through site on Friday, despite efforts by America to calm tensions sparked when it emerged U.S. soldiers had burned Muslim holy books in a pile of rubbish at a military base in Afghanistan. President Obama has apologised to President Karzai for the unintentional burning of the Korans at NATO's main Bagram air base after Afghan labourers found charred copies while collecting rubbish. White House spokesman Jay Carney sought to counter criticism, telling reporters on board Air Force One: ‘It is wholly appropriate, given the sensitivities to this issue, the understandable sensitivities.’ But it appears to have had little affect on sentiment among many in the Middle East. Military sources said that books were removed from the library of a nearby detention center because they contained extremist messages. Prisoners had been writing in the books as way of communicating.

This makes about as much sense as that teen shooting up French soldiers in response to Americans desecrating bodies.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;34872875]Oh grow the fuck up, seriously.[/QUOTE] I'm sure it would of been the same if they were burning bibles. Edited: At least, for the people in the south states.
want to gather up a mob for political power? just tell them someone is burning their holy book somewhere.
What assholes.
While this is a nasty story, I had to see what the commenters had to say: "I'm sure there is text in the Koran about respecting other religions. I do not want to be Muslim, however I respect their right to exist" Wow, what a nice change. A reasonable comment on the Daily Mail website. 730 downvotes. Fuck you, Daily Mail readers. "Worst Rated" - The only place to find decent people on that damned site.

[QUOTE=Aman VII;34873002]Nah even the super nutter Christians aren't that bad.[/QUOTE] Yeah, they may hold a rally, sign a petition, or contact FOX News, but they're not going to go defile the graves of dead soldiers who have absolutely nothing to do with the incident.
[QUOTE=MIPS;34872922]I'm sure it would of been the same if they were burning bibles. Edited: At least, for the people in the south states.[/QUOTE] Bibles have been burned on several occasions but people in the "south states" didn't react with violent retribution against the closest thing near them, or desecrate graves of WW2 victims in [I]another fucking country[/I] I don't mean to defend Christianity but no, this wouldn't happen, and hasn't happen in recent history. Meanwhile every tiny offense against Islam brings the entire region into immature, petulant revolt and it's becoming annoying. Yeah, it's a generalization, I know, but holy shit am I sick of hearing of people dying over this dumb shit. Your fucking book got burned,deal with it like goddamn human beings with dignity instead of acting like a bunch of children and lashing out at everything you don't like.
[QUOTE=MIPS;34872922]I'm sure it would of been the same if they were burning bibles. Edited: At least, for the people in the south states.[/QUOTE] You'd be surprised how little that actually angers people.

These guys are a bunch of fucking bitches, really. All this uprage over a fucking book. I thought religion is about the relationship between man (mankind) and god. Not material goods and other bullshit. These guys should be ashamed of themselves, yes it is cool to be mad. But don't kill, damage or desecrate other peoples stuff. Discussing and shameful and they only make moderate religious people look bad.
All over a fucking book.
[QUOTE=thisispain;34873243]in fact that's the proper way to dispose of a quran according to the quran itself.[/QUOTE] So wait, the soldier who burned the Koran (I heard he was actually an Afghan soldier who burned the books, but I'm not sure if that's true) was actually disposing of it in a completely correct and dignified manner? Then what's the problem?
[QUOTE=thisispain;34873243]yeah because there's no political reason for them to do so. people don't desecrate graves just because you burn their book.[B] in fact that's the proper way to dispose of a quran according to the quran itself[/B].[/QUOTE] pffft ahahahah oh wow
[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;34873509]Then what's the problem?[/QUOTE] there's two problems. first of all a bunch of soldiers, who are known for attacking countries with muslims in them, took a book that for many of these people is the only bit of hope they have, threw it in the trash and burned it in a horrible symbolic fuck-you. second of all, no-body gives a fuck about it. it only takes one loud person with a political goal to use this to his advantage.
That's disgusting. There's no context in which desecrating graves is acceptable.
[QUOTE=thisispain;34873243]yeah because there's no political reason for them to do so. people don't desecrate graves just because you burn their book. in fact that's the proper way to dispose of a quran according to the quran itself.[/QUOTE] you have to first erase any mention of allah and his angels then burn it. or you could throw it in a river with a rock so it sinks
Joke's on them when they wake up with zombie soldiers at their doorsteps.
I know it's true because I read it in the daily mail
Despite the fact that the british forces spent millions on tomahawk missles and aircraft stuff that was used in the liberation of libya, they want to do shit to the graves of british soldiers?

[/QUOTE] I thought they threw it away because they found out prisoners were using the books to communicate.
[QUOTE=Hobo4President;34873910]I thought they threw it away because they found out prisoners were using the books to communicate.[/QUOTE] No it's evil U.S. imperialists who want to kill Muslims and invade their countries. It's the solders who decide to invade the countries too, not the government.
[QUOTE=Hobo4President;34873910]I thought they threw it away because they found out prisoners were using the books to communicate.[/QUOTE] that doesn't really matter.

[QUOTE=thisispain;34874237]that doesn't really matter. [/QUOTE] Uhhhh, it kind of does matter. It means they got rid of the books to stop prisoners communicating rather than getting rid of them in spite of Muslims, which your post suggested was the reason.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;34873023]Yeah, they may hold a rally, sign a petition, or contact FOX News, but they're not going to go defile the graves of dead soldiers who have absolutely nothing to do with the incident.[/QUOTE] yeah, they'll just execute people for being homosexual or rape the lesbianism out of women like they do in some african countries [editline]26th February 2012[/editline] fucking euro-centrists
the solution is to keep burning qurans until they run out of things to smash
Some fucking image they're portraying right there. Supposed peace between mankind and they go apeshit over paper media. It's a fucking print, aren't the ideologies that are written more important? Yeesh
