Ironic Bombings (for lack of a better title)?
Anyone else see the irony in the whole "non-believer touching a Quran = desecration" while the radicals in Iraq/Afghanistan have taken to blowing up muslim mosques?
I know this is a loaded question, but where are the huge public displays of outrage, where are the protests?

Heck, Muslims have been blowing up "the Koran" for decades in terrorist acts. Most recently we have the strikes in Iraq, Afghanistan and even 9-11 (there were numerous Koran copies in the twin towers at the time of the attack). I guess it's OK when a Muslim or non-Muslim terrorist does it. But if anyone (even a Muslim) does it while defending against terrorists, then it is bad.

people do ironic things, maybe hypocritcal things all of the time. It depends on who is calling the shots. Bin Laden has Al Qaeda in Iraq kill innnocents all the time even though the Quran says not to. Bush passed a law in Texas giving Doctors, not families the decision to pull the plug on patients.
The terrorists do crazy shit all the time and they deserve to be killed, period. Its not a political thing Arles. Remember, we're the one's who have declared that "we're the good guys and they're evil." so lets act like the good guys and have them act evil, lest people become confused as to whom is whom.

Who says muslims cared about the Koran "desecration" at all? The "riots" were just as made up as the Newsweek allegations...

Could be. My main point though is that there is scant evidence that muslims were actually outraged by the desecration stories--the story was barely covered in the Middle East. Also, nobody could confirm that anybody actually died in any of the alleged riots... |
