Quran Abuse Investigation

[LostInSpace]

(CNN) -- A U.S. military investigation into the mishandling of the Muslim holy book at the Guantanamo Bay prison for suspected terrorists has determined that detainees -- not U.S. soldiers -- attempted to flush the Quran down the toilet there.

That would be great news if it were not for the other incidents.

However, the report did find four confirmed incidents in which U.S. personnel at the base mishandled the Quran, including guards kicking a detainee's Quran; a guard's urine "splashed" a detainee and his holy book after coming through an air vent; and guards got in a water balloon fight that resulted in two detainees' Qurans getting wet.

You know, if someone in this country did any of this to a Christian Bible, I kind of think the attitude would be "Yeah, so?" Honestly, the muslims who hate us will use this as an excuse, but it's a cop out. They hate us anyway, and will go on hating us.

This abusing that Quran crap is just that, CRAP...

Some way out there whacko muslims may treat the quran like that, but 99% understand that it is a fricking book, it is not the book itself that is holy, but the words and idea within.

This is just another excuse to hate America, and for the press to write another story that they hope will create another story.

Puh, Pizzonem. They burn our flag in their streets. Do we care? It's just a flag. The Quran? It's just a book written by men and they miss the big picture like every other religious fanatic on the planet.

They can keep fooling themselves with a Holier than thou attitude. It won't save them from their own inequaties nor will it excuse them from placing an inanimate object above God.

The only way to battle hatred is with love. Our only mistake is we keep loving them with our weapons. Loving them to death baby!
