Afghanistan: Death Toll From Koran-Burning Temper Tantrum Hits 20…

Maybe if Obama keeps apologizing they will stop rampaging over a few burnt books?

(BBC) — Thousands of enraged Afghans have taken to the streets for a fourth day, after US soldiers inadvertently set fire to copies of the Koran.

In the deadliest day of unrest so far, at least 12 people died across the country, as mobs charged at US bases and diplomatic missions.

More than 20 people have been killed since the unrest began, including two US soldiers who died on Thursday.

President Barack Obama has apologised for the Koran-burning incident.

In a letter to his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai, Mr Obama said the books had been “unintentionally mishandled”.

US personnel apparently put the books into a rubbish incinerator at Bagram air base, near Kabul.

Most of the deaths reported on Friday were in western Herat province, which had seen little unrest previously.

A group of demonstrators tried to attack the US consulate in Herat city, burning police vehicles and leaving several officers injured.

Hospital officials confirmed four people had been killed, but it was unclear how they had died.

    Who knew all we had to do was burn a book instead of sending over troops.

    “…after US soldiers inadvertently set fire to copies of the Koran.”

    No, no, no….after US soldiers properly disposed of defaced korans as per islamic rules.

    All this violence and protesting is egged on by the assatollas and iman freaks.

    I am pissed at EVERY SINGLE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE US WHO COWTOWED TO THESE FUCKS.

    My question is, how was this book burning leaked to the media? They were burned to protect our troops, from harms way, after the ENEMY were passing codes through them, right? Shouldn’t it have been kept a military secret? … Or, is it something Barry wanted to be exposed?..

    Love this Site and am only asking a question..

    Does anything sum up the religion of pieces more than this murderous outbreak?

    What thinking person, of any color or creed, can rationalize or explain this bullshit away as acceptable on any level, on any terms.

    This is the most inexcusable form of heathenism as anything imaginable.

    Boo hoo, the poor babies had their feelings hurt.

    Big. Fucking. Deal.

    Someone remind me why we are there in the first place. I thought it had something to do with killing terrorists. Prevent the taliban from oppressing the people? These people deserve the taliban. Get our troops out, and nuke what’s left.

    Maybe Kim Jong O should go over there and apologize in person. @ Ute Guy, lets burn a few more books of satanic verses. Rushdie was right.

    How many Korans will we have to burn so that they all end up killing themselves?

    I’m down for 1,000 Korans if it will help eliminate this plague.

    Search for the phrase “Karzai has apologized” — 5 results, all in reference to the ransacking of the Pakistani embassy in 2003.

    Search for British spelling of the phrase “Karzai has apologised” — 36 relevant results, mostly in reference to the killing of three British soldiers in 2010.

    Search for “Obama has apologized” — 1,370,000 results.

    They should BLAME Barry Obama since as Commander in Chief, HE ORDERED IT and is RESPONSIBLE for it(personally I’m not complaining0–hey can burn all the damn hateful Korans)

    Just like HE ORDERED the extra judicial killings of Gadaffi and Osama Bin Laden. Now he apologises. Cowardly wuss. And we shovel money to Karzai whose government and family has misappropriated the whole lot to Dubai.

    I thought earthly shit only ever happened because it was predestined to happen in the first place by allah – you know, “inshallah” and all that rot.

    So a few books got burned. Allah obviously willed it to be exactly so.

    What fucking dolts.

    Yeah i guess we see where the Tea Party and OWS went wrong.
    Apparently we have to riot to get Obamas attention.
    Next muzzie dinner he has at the WH maybe we should charge in with rocks and scream alot.

    Enough.
    They’re a scourge on humanity.
    Leave, end all aid to them and Pakistan.
    Tell them we won’t return.
    Give them a pamphlet, in Arabic, explaining carpet nuking.

    You’d think, that after all the other Muslim bullshit, the Media would wake up and start laughing at these barbarians, instead of making excuses and trying to “understand” them.

    Why do we accept what is going on? How can our society “understand” that they routinely riot and kill over these incidents?
    When is someone going say, “what the fuck is wrong with these Muslims”?

    Just how fucked up are these people that they would riot and kill each other over this?

    People are rioting and being killed over what?… their stupid ass “holy” book?

  31. Pendog says:

    In lieu of being able to kill more Americans, they have settled for killing each other, jackals.

    February 25, 2012 at 8:05 am

    Something tells me that we will be engaging these ignorant hordes some time in the near future. I say we save a lot of western lives right now. Oh, and at the same time take care of that pesky reduction in our nuclear arsenal problem.

  33. nerkbuckeye says:
    February 25, 2012 at 8:18 am

    The left better decide right now if they want to live in a Judeo-Christian society or under Islam. With their leftist policies weakening the U.S. I hope they have a good grasp on the wearing of burkahs and being stoned for having an affair. There is no such thing as’ tolerence’ in Islam and sharia law

  34. Rufus says:

    TWO MORE Americans were killed in Afghanistan today, over their dumbass book.

    http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/02/25/2-nato-troops-killed-at-ministry-afghan-officials-say/

    Described as “NATO Troops”, but really American soldiers.

    I saw this first on the morning news, where they were more focused on the scummy muzz, rioting AGAIN, instead of saying more than two fucking words about 2 more dead Americans.

    Burn a Koran today for our side!

  35. Junius says:
    February 25, 2012 at 8:41 am

    Get every last man, woman, and piece of equipment of ours out of this islamic sewage pond and let these savages go back to killing each other. That is all that they are good for, killing. For good measure lets send some cruise missles over to destroy Mecca and get rid of this death cult called islam.

  36. Rufus says:
    February 25, 2012 at 8:41 am

    And… why is it the only Republican candidate we’ve heard from on this is Gingrich?

    Being that they are all in Michigan, are they afraid that they’re going to lose the Muslim vote?

    Newsflash: Obama is going to get 100% of the Muslim vote. There’s not one muzz in this country who will vote Republican, so why not stand up for our country?

    They’re all politcally correct cowards.

    These people living in the 6th century need to be isolated in their countries and not allowed to leave.

    We never had to be nice to the Afghan people. This was an option we chose. Typically an apology is the most they could hope for under any circumstance from the US government. The truth be it known a lot of people would prefer not to be nice. The Afghans are fortunate to receive an apology from the president. The president would never apologize to Americans for any reasons.

    February 25, 2012 at 9:48 am

    Rufus makes a good point @7:53am. When would folks wake up and realize that these savages are just that; uncivilized hordes bent on destruction?

    How pleasant it must be to be that blissfully ignorant being a Liberal.

  41. a human says:
    February 25, 2012 at 9:58 am

    It is known that most of these folk could not care less about Quran’s being burned, what these folk are really about is getting paid by the folk that profit from this instability. Even the Mullahs couldn’t care less as long as they are making a living.

  44. BART SIMPSONSSON says:
    February 25, 2012 at 3:25 pm

    Hey! How about we round up all the Korans we can find and burn them all, and televise it? Maybe the muzzies will riot, worldwide, to the max, killing every one of themselves……….Just thinkin’………..

  45. BART SIMPSONSSON says:
    February 25, 2012 at 3:26 pm

    Hey again! I mean burn them after we wipe our collective asses with them first…………

  46. Michelle Therese says:

    If the Korans were put into the incinerator… how did the locals find out about it? Who squealed??
