US military: soldier shot at Quran for practice

Facetious

Moderated
Iraq is not a threat to the world. It had tanks and missles and bioweapons and it wasn't a threat. You really think that a few guys with 1980's AK-47's and RPG's are going to be a threat now?

terrrorism is one of the safest things in the world. Mcdonalds is more deadly than terrorism (far more people die from heart attacks than car bombs.)

it's a fucking joke.



Which of the above statements is a "joke" ? :confused:
 
Think about this,

If religion didn't exist then 9/11 wouldn't have happened because no one would have thought that flying planes into buildings would've gotten them a one-way ticket to paradise where they could bang 72 virgins all day. (poor virgins by the way)

Because 9/11 never happened, our government wouldn't have been able to rush us into an illegal war. Therefore, no American troops are using the koran for target practice.

Plus the koran wouldn't exist anyway because religion doesn't exist.

Problem solved.

But it does exist, and to those who belive especially Muslims who take their faith extreamly seriously, doing this is a sign of disrespect to the people who the US is trying to help.

Im not religious and yes the world would be better if religion did not exist but I can see that shooting at a religious text especially in these times is bound to cause issues particularly to those who like to strap themselves with explosives or put bombs in cars.

I searched my post to find out what might be a joke, and I had difficulty finding one.

the only phrase that I could come up with that might be considered a joke is "the world." oh yes, one big fucking joke it is.
 
Dubya AND Dale Earnhardt merchandise, you say?

Welcome liberators! :bowdown:

I'm not sure what you mean but just so you know where I stand:

Dale Earnhardt - One of the best men to ever walk the earth

George W. Bush - Common piece of shit.

tubuler -excellent post regarding the authoratative manipulation of religion.

that is like an muslim coming over here to america using a bible as target practice.. i wonder what we would do if that happened?
Most of us wouldn't give a shit but we're not radical Muslims living in an occupied state, we actually have something more to live for than the maniacal ramblings of some fictitious book (except for the Catholics).
 
Muslims will always find contrived motivations to be upset about us infidel pigs. They don't need a GI's practical joke to give them an opportunity to rant against humanity, secularism and reason.

With Israelis like you, no wonder peace talks remain a joke in Israel/Palestine/Gaza - whatever that fucked up place is called. You sound more extreme than virtually all Muslims I know, so prooves extremism on all sides.

Man, we should just leave Iraq, and stop supporting Israel and leave all you extremist pigs to slice each other's throats, I have no clue why the West is investing so heavily there. Eradicating extremists like you and the Islamists would get us peace far shorter than arming/supporting one side against the other and sending our best and brightest there to die.

Our foriegn policy as a whole is so fucked up...
 
at the end of the day, sure the Koran is bullshit, but when you go out of your way to antagonize people for their beliefs, you are just being an asshole.

Sure I'll rip on religion on these boards when we are having a discussion about it, but I don't make a thread just to announce that idea, and I really don't go to people's churches and tell them to their face that they I think they are full of shit. what would be the point? that would be rude and disrespectful.

Maybe most of us here don't really care about such things, but Dream Sparrow is right. If the situations were reversed, if it was a foreigner in America desecrating the bible, you know that tons of people would be pissed off.

Totally agree, can't have said it any better myself. I'll rep you too if I could - just give ma a G-string and boob implants lmao. :rofl:
 
That's bad. Very bad. :nono:

I don't really believe in organized religion, but I respect other peoples' choice to do so themselves.

Believe it or not, though, not all Muslims are terrorists. They don't deserve to have their holy book desecrated.

What would all you say if someone shot up a copy of the Torah?

might have something to do with oil.

They took down the 2 towers, part of the pentagon, 4 passenger planes, killed 3 thousand people in one day,killed sons mothers daughters wives, husbands, ect.,the terror and pain they must have suffered, the children who must grow up without parents, and the financial cost was billions upon billions.
And they say they are going to do it again, but on a much greater scale.

And some of you are worried about a book?
What happened?

Are you talking about the Iraqis, or Muslims?

Do you get most of your information from Fox News?

They does not mean all Muslims were responsable.
Just the ones involved in it.

I just don't hear too many Muslims or U.S. citizens condemning that act which was one of the worst mass murders in recent history.
I do see many however condemning the shooting of a book.
So its a question of proirities to me.

Thanks for calling me a queer in a private message tuby.
Thats not what I said at all.
I'll write slow so's you can understand.
This is a isolated incident. One time occurance done by one person and the victim was a book.
So whats the big deal?
Should muslims riot and burn churches and kill people like they did over the comic strip a few years back?
Or maybe stone to death the shooter and finally bash his skull in with a giant rock like they did to that little girl who liked a christian boy last year?
Or should the U.S. apoligize to aviod this possibility?
You know, kiss thier asses.
Be tolerent, don't be judgemental =
Neuter yourself.

One generalization deserves another. :rolleyes:

(emphasis mine) What rock have you been living under? Plenty of muslims and US citizens (including US citizens professing Islam as their religion) have roundly condemned the attacks.

Amongst the first foreign nations to call and offer condolences were Arab States.

I will never forget the headline of the French newspaper ("Le Mode" I think it was) which proclaimed "Today, we are all Americans".

cheers,
 
What about the terrorism that takes place in India, is that America’s fault ? Bali, Philippines and Morocco too ?
Actually, it's not the same argument.

I agree with DS. Infact, Osama Bin Forgotten himself states that one of the "other" reasons the US is a target of his entity is because we favor nations that oppress muslim peoples - be it our support of Arab dictatorships or democratic governments in India (which has a long standing feud in Muslim majority Kashmir) or Philippines and their insurectionists.

I wouldn't argue that Morocco is a "victim" of Islamic terrorism. Probably the opposite.


Let me put it this way: I'm old enough to remember when the Ayatollah came to power in Iran on the wave of his "Islamic Revolution". For years, he tried to instigate a jihad against the "Decadent West" using the argument that we were 'corrupt, immoral, given to sin, decadent' etc. (the cliched "they hate us because we are free and prosperous" argument).

Guess what?

Not a whole lot of shit. Try as he might, he was unable to get large numbers of muslims to blow themselves up to defeat America.

Osama Bin Laden doesn't focus his ire on the fact that we have Freeones, titty bars and allow women to work. Fact is, he focuses his mission on key points - all of which can be traced to our "interventionism" abroad... specifically interventionism in the muslim world.

If there was anything I learned as a combat soldier from our abominable debacle in Vietnam (and from my Father's experiences as a soldier in Korea and WWII) --- listen to what your enemy is trying to say. Osama has never hidden his grievances from the West. In fact, he's broadcast it time and time and time again - only we in the West (especially our cowardly so called independent media) don't choose to pay attention.

Those Marines didn't get killed because they were stateside - they got killed because they were in Beirut. This forced even an avid interventionist as Ronald Reagan to reconsider his policy and withdraw troops - by stating that middle eastern politics was simply too irrational for us to comprehend!

Instead of asking the question "what the hell were United States Marines doing in fucking Beirut?" most Americans skipped to the part of finding someone to blame. Hey! Apparently our Government can do no evil. The very same "conservatives" who wouldn't trust the Gubmint to run their local school or hospital magically become true believers when it comes to that same Gubmint running a WAR and rebuilding a nation. I don't know what you folks call it but it smells "hypocrisy" to me.


cheers,
