That's completely out of line. You can't do that to someone's holy scriptures. I'll treat a Quran like a Bible and vice versa.

It's a shame when lies and falsehoods cause large amounts of destruction. Unfortunately republicans only feel that way when they find lies that disagree with their worldview. WMD and ties to terrorism are convenient lies that bother you little, but find a factual error that doesn't support your worldview and hear the GOP chorus sing of the need to regulate the media.You forget or ignore that the news media helped spread the lies and inaccuracies put forth by the Bush Administration on Iraq. These lies have consquences that we are still dealing with to this day. The last few weeks were some of the most violent weeks Iraq has experienced. Becuz of the lies you supported the US lost $300 billion, 1,600 lives, a few thousands limbs, and in the process weakened its economy, weakened its military, embarassed itself in the eyes of the world, and further enraged the muslim population. Yet there is no outrage from the right, instead we only find arrogant support of an incompetent administration by bigotted individuals that can't tell the difference between picking sides in politics and choosing their favorite baseball team.Basing an extremely inflammatory news item on a single source without any corroborating evidence, affirming witnesses, or any stated caveats regarding the possible unreliability of such a piece, strikes me as a bit sketchy. And now their single source suggests that he might have been wrong?Yeah. That’s JUST like the Iraq war! Good analogy!

Again let me explain something more simply since you have a hard time putting 2 and 2 together. You said specifically this story had "no corraborating evidence." That is the only point I ever argued against. What you think the Newsweek retraction has to do with you being completely off base to suggest this story has no corraborating evidence is beyond me. If you read my post above and my posts in other threads which I'm sure you've seen (altho I'm not sure if you actually read them since you apparently have a hard time reading anything that conflicts with your bigotted worldview) you would realize you were wrong. If you can't look reality in the face and admit you made an error don't even both responding.
i piss on the bible and i wipe my ass with the quran
1. Newsweek had corraborating evidence. A Human Rights Watch Report cited American mistreatment of the Qu'ran in October 2004.In fact, Newsweek wasn't even the first to break this story. The Philadelphia Inquirer broke this story in January 2005.
Muslims are fucking insane. Thousands and thousands of them are having violent protests because they think some American flushed a Koran down the toilet. Big fucking deal. In many of their countries, women aren't allowed to learn how to read or write, aren't allowed to vote, can't go out of the house without a man, etc. In many of their countries, Christians and other religious minorities aren't allowed to practice their religion, try to convert other people, etc. I know that in Saudi Arabia in order to be a citizen you have to be a Muslim, and it is illegal to celebrate Christmas in public. How come there is no outrage over those things? Which is worse.Just more proof that Muslims are stupid as hell.

The problem is not that some books were burnt, the problem is that it's a direct disrespect towards the muslim religion, which will ultimately lead to heavy uproars and people will eventually (have already) die. If I was caught burning an american flag, I would never be able to get a green card or citizenship, and that is understandable. However, I just burnt a bit of cloth? There is more to that.
