NATO Agrees to Trial for Koran Burners - Afghan Government sez
H/T Gatewaypundit
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Following the insulting and shameful act of burning Quran in Bagram airbase that injured the religious sentiments of the Islamic world and particularly of the Afghan Muslim nation, two delegations comprising of representatives from government, the National Council of Ulemma and the National Assembly were assigned and dispatched to investigate the circumstances and causes that have led to the inhumane incident.

The delegations, while deeply touched by the religious sentiments shown by the Afghan Muslim and Mujahid nation, inform our citizens of the following:

1. In view of the particular security situation in the country, we call on all our Muslim citizens of Afghanistan to exercise self-restraint and extra vigilance in dealing with the issue and avoid resorting to protests and demonstrations that may provide ground for the enemy to take advantage of the situation.

2. After the shameful incident by the US soldiers stationed in Bagram, senior NATO and American officials expressed their deep apologies to the Muslim nation of Afghanistan and assured that such incidents will not happen again.

3. NATO officials promised to meet Afghan nation's demand of bringing to justice, through an open trial, those responsible for the incident and it was agreed that the perpetrators of the crime be brought to justice as soon as possible.
Should this NOT be entirely a fabrication by the government of the Sharia Abomination Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, bring all Westerners out of Afghanistan now! If this causes chaos, ruin and devastation in Afghanistan, that would be an additional benefit. Afghanistan became dangerous when the Taliban regime stabilized.
4. The assigned delegations demand from the government of Afghanistan to take over from the Americans the authority of the Bagram prison so no such incidents can recur and calls on the US government to fully and comprehensively cooperate to this end.

5. The delegations also want from the Afghan government to formally praise those brave Afghan army soldiers and all others who showed feelings against the disrespectful act by preventing more religious books and Quran copies from burning, so that the pure Muslim sentiments of our honored Mujahid nation can remain alive.
This article was published in English by the Afghan government, so it may not be entirely for domestic consumption.
Reading this piece one could get the impression that this was part of an instrument of surrender (the US being the party surrendering.)

This is the reward for Western restraint and mercy after 9/11. Bush broke with historical precedent to spare the Afghans great suffering. Here's the punishment for that good deed.
