A Provocation 2 Thought

Don’t believe everything you read, hear or see (even on this site). Most of the “news” in print, on the radio, and on television is commentary. Not NEWS. Even the “facts” in a story are usually presented in such a way as to leave you thinking as the writer. Sometimes the “facts” are made up, or so distorted they no longer resemble the truth. My goal is to provoke you 2 thought. Read between the lines. Glean truth from many sources. Then… Think for yourself. Make up your own mind.

Koran Abuse?

At Guantanamo Bay, Cuba the guards are not allowed to touch a Koran. This would be sac religious. Our government, the same government who's courts have ruled that having the words “under God” in the pledge is unconstitutional, has made rules for handling the Koran. Our government has essentially told the guards to treat the Koran as though it were a rare, fragile piece of art. This same government would never place such rules on the handling of a Bible, though far more Americans believe in the Bible than believe in the Koran. We have gone WAY, WAY out of our way to honor the religion of terrorists, in prison.

A few weeks ago, Newsweek published an article in which they erroneously wrote that a guard had flushed a Koran down a toilet. Hundreds of Muslims rioted in Afghanistan killing 13 people! Newsweek later retracted the story because it was FALSE. Too bad for those 13 people and their families that Newsweek didn't get its facts strait BEFORE going to print. But I digress.

My point is this. Just the reporting of ONE Koran mistreated caused all of these Muslims to riot. I am sure that all of the rioters have a negative view of America. I am sure they had it BEFORE the Koran story, and that was simply an excuse to do something they wanted to do anyway. Nonetheless, that was the final provocation. One Koran mistreated.

To a Muslim the Koran is holy. I suspect that at any given time you could find dozens of Korans in a mosque. I am sure that a mosque is considered holy. My guess is that the body of a Muslim cleric would be considered holy as well. I would even go so far as to say that a funeral is holy to Muslims also.

So, on Wednesday when an al-qaida homicide/suicide bomber bombed a mosque, (probably destroying many copies of the Koran) during a funeral for a Muslim cleric, killing at least 20, and wounding at least 42, where were the riots against the blasphemous al-qaida?
