I'm sure many people here have been following the riots in the Muslim
world that occurred when the US newsmagazine Newsweek reported that
American interrogators at Gitmo had flushed a Quran down a toilet in
order to "rattle" the prisoners. Turns out that the "Pentagon confirmed"
report was untrue. Their source was wrong. All a spokesman for Newsweek
could say was the equivalent of "oops". "Words have consequences", he
told the American TV network ABC. 16 people have died in the riots and
Muslim clerics are now calling for a holy war against modern
civilization. The problem is, Bush really believes that it IS a holy
war, Christianity vs Islam, may the best God win. I believe that that
conviction is behind the West's repeated offending of the Muslim world,
from Abu Ghraib and other abuses at US prisons (which are much, much
greater and more serious than US media has reported) to sexual
harassment of Muslim men at Gitmo to this. Bush needs to pull his
drunken, cocaine snorting head out of his ass and realize that if he
fails, we ALL die. I'm willing to commit ritual suicide, but most
Americans, and certainly most Europeans, aren't willing to die as
martyrs to fundie Christianity. Bush has said that he doesn't care about
the verdict of history and future generations on his actions because
"we'll all be dead". If he doesn't straighten up and fly right, those
words will be horrifically accurate. Are YOU willing to have your head
cut off by Muslim fundies? I am.
