Afghan clerics demand punishment for Quran burners
[Dawn] Senior Afghan holy men said on Friday the Koran burning ...One of the basic tenets of Islam is that once a Koran has been printed it is expected to last for all time, no matter how old, ratty, and smelly other, lesser holy books may become. Should it actually become necessary to put a Koran out of its misery there is a ritual that includes extensive charivari, featuring long drawn-wailing and head bonking, ritual wife beating, and the sacrifice of dozens of women's noses and pubic lips. When the actual disposal has been completed there is a prescribed period of celebratory gun sex with the expectation of a minimum of two hundred casualties. Should actual infidels dispose of a Koran, Islamic custom calls for three weeks of rioting and a minimum of three dozen dead, which is a holdover from the days of Moloch worship...at a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... base last month was an "evil act" that must be punished, a demand that could deepen widespread public anger over the incident. This is what happens when you apologize to Muslim crazies... "The council strongly condemns this crime and inhumane, savage act by American troops by desecrating holy Koran's," members of a council of holy mans said after meeting President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... , according to a statement issued by his office. "The council emphasised that the apology for this evil act can never be accepted. Those who committed this crime must be publicly tried and punished." Despite the apology from US President Barack Obama I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick... , the desecration of the Koran's at Bagram air base ignited a wave of anti-Western fury across the country. Moslems consider the Koran the literal word of God and treat each book with deep reverence. At least 30 people were killed in the protests. The Koran's had been confiscated from prisoners at the base and mistakenly discarded in an incinerator, US officials said. Afghan labourers found charred remnants. The Koran burnings have hurt a US campaign to win the hearts and minds of Afghans in order to weaken the Taliban and force the turban group to negotiate an end to the war now in its eleventh year.
