How silly!
Opps.
I thought it was the Book of Mormon Sir!
Sorry.

heh!
Not good.
We've made a lot of gains over there during the past year, especially with the Sunni militias.
No need to **** it all away.

Better than flushing it down the terlet isn't it?
What a waste of toilet paper.

Has it ever occurred to any of you that these people get all fired up and seek to cut off the heads of those who disrespect a book purportedly about God, yet have absolutely no compunction about mass killings of human beings they also believe He created?
To me at least, it also seems completely inconsistent to hold that God is all powerful (e.g. Allah Akbar!) and in the same breath, call for the death of those who they deem to have disrespected Him. As if an all-powerful God needs human help in settling a score?! Pfft I say! If God believed He had suffered an actionable affront to His sensitivities, He is more than capable of eradicating the offender without Jugdish Al-Mofuzzi's help.
IMHO, there is something fundamentally flawed with such a belief system. Thank goodness Christianity got past that sort of thing by the end of the 17th century. I therefore believe the world would be better off if that brand of Islam were eradicated. Not the adherents mind you, but their dangerous and morally bankrupt world view.

I don't think anybody should apologize for anything. If gov't money can go to putting Jesus in a jar of ****, why can't her bullets shoot the Quran? This war is beyond retarded and expensive, Iraq's people are rubes and don't deserve Democracy, they deserve to be lorded over because in the end, you get the government you deserve.
I know that sounds harsh, but inorganic revolution is generally an incredibly bad idea, almost always unjustifiable in the Mideast, save Afghanistan which had it coming.

I agree, Christianity is WAYYYY more reasonable.Originally Posted by Okla-homey
You can just tell.
Is it against Military Regulation to shoot the Quran?
If it's not...I say EAT LEAD YA BASTAGES!
Of course I could be wrong since I still haven't had coffee yet.
Maybe I should think this through.
Ouch! I think a virgin just scratched my anus.
I met a man in Reno once.
He says he took a bullet in the chest and the only thing that saved him was the Bible in his overcoat.
Lets see if a Quran can do that!
so they didn't get to watch him die?
what a gip
and shooting a Quran over there while people watched is just ****ing stupid
I use the Quran to wipe my *** on a daily basis.
If you want some... come get ya some.

i could care less what you do in your bathroom. are you the face of the US Military to people over there?
I have a feeling that a large % of them feel the same way that I do. If not, that's what makes America so beautiful. Free will and freedom of speech.

When folks stop desecrating the American Flag here in the US and around the World...then I might find time to worry about the folks in the Middle East getting their feelings hurt about some guy shooting a book.
The deal is...over here...you might **** some people off. Over there...they'd probably kill you over it. I think THEY need to open their eyes and their minds instead of getting hurt everytime one of our Military folks did something to hurt their feelings.
Heck...if they would just take over their Country...we'd go Home.
Stupid idgets.
you lose a lot of free will and speech when you put on the uniform
you are pretty dense if you think it was a good idea to do what he did, regardless of rules and rights
No need for a personal attack and I reread my previous posts and never did I say what he did was a good idea. I was only speaking for myself.
Reading comprehension, get hooked on it.
