Is anyone paying attention? This is how we screw up so badly. We don't understanding other cultures. Worse yet, we don't give a damn.
Protests across Muslim world over Koran report
Folks, this is a REALLY big issue for the Muslim world.
We have started a fire that may engulf more than the fringe elements in the Muslim world. We have violated one of the most sacrosanct items for Muslims. We have desecrated their Koran.
If you know anything about Islam, then you will appreciate the danger that we now face. This touches EVERY Muslim. If you think 9/11 was bad, wait `til you see the repercussions of this one.
People could argue away our abuses by saying that, by-and-large, it was done to people who deserved them. E.g. Abu Gharib, Guantanamo, ...
But how do you justify desecrating the Koran?
What the hell were those buffoons thinking? Who the hell authorized this crap?
