Top Pentagon Official Now Apologizing At U.S. Mosques For Koran Burning In Afghanistan…

So friggen pathetic.

STERLING, Va. (AP) — A senior Pentagon official is apologizing to Washington-area Muslims for the burning of Qurans at a military base in Afghanistan.

Peter Lavoy, acting assistant secretary of defense for Asia and Pacific security affairs, says the military is investigating and that all troops are being retrained in the handling of religious materials.

Lavoy’s remarks were Friday at a mosque in suburban Washington, D.C. They come after protests across Afghanistan over the burning of several Qurans at a U.S. military base. Military officials say 20 people have died in the protests, including two U.S. soldiers.

President Barack Obama has apologized for the burning, which authorities say was a mistake. But the protests continue.

    Here is a simple question with an obvious answer: Is President Barack Obama more deferential to the religious sensibilities of Afghan Muslims or the religious freedom of American Catholics?

    The answer: Obama is more deferential to the religious sensibilities of Muslims in Afghanistan than to the religious freedom of Catholics in the United States.

    WTF!?!?

    did this pentagon person go to the mosque for the purpose of apologizing? or was he there was other purposes, and then since the story came out he apologied while he was there anyways?

    This has gotten beyond pathetic, where the hell was the muslim community in this country when ft hood happened? when those 2 army personnel were killed at some recruitment center or in germany when 3 personnel were shot on a bus??
    I wonder what future recruitments for our military think of the pentagon and the constant apologzing for muslims and islam?

    10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Islam Contrasted With 10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity

    10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Islam

    #1 “Islam has always been part of America”

    #2 “we will encourage more Americans to study in Muslim communities”

    #3 “These rituals remind us of the principles that we hold in common, and Islam’s role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings.”

    #4 “America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”

    #5 “So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed”

    #6 “Ramadan is a celebration of a faith known for great diversity and racial equality”

    #7 “As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith.”

    #8 “I look forward to hosting an Iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan here at the White House later this week, and wish you a blessed month.”

    #9 “That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”

    #10 “I also know that Islam has always been a part of America’s story.”

    10 Quotes By Barack Obama About Christianity

    #1 “Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation”

    #2 “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.”

    #3 “Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?”

    #4 “Even those who claim the Bible’s inerrancy make distinctions between Scriptural edicts, sensing that some passages – the Ten Commandments, say, or a belief in Christ’s divinity – are central to Christian faith, while others are more culturally specific and may be modified to accommodate modern life.”

    #5 “The American people intuitively understand this, which is why the majority of Catholics practice birth control and some of those opposed to gay marriage nevertheless are opposed to a Constitutional amendment to ban it. Religious leadership need not accept such wisdom in counseling their flocks, but they should recognize this wisdom in their politics.”

    #6 From Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope: “I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex—nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the Sermon on the Mount.”

    #7 “I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That’s just not part of my religious makeup.”

    #8 “Those opposed to abortion cannot simply invoke God’s will–they have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths.”

    #9 On his support for civil unions for gay couples: “If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount.”

    #10 “I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.”

    Meanwhile, I’m watching World War II in HD on the History channel.

    Ike announced the D-Day landing: “Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months.”

    Now he would be condemned for saying “Great Crusade” because it upsets the Soldiers of Allah.

    This is what the moozie world as dhummitude status of the US when the idiots “officlials” go around apologizing for this issue – hey the Soldiers did right by burning the trash.

    Now I want CAIR, ISNA, etc to come forward and apologize to the US ARMY for the moozie afghan soldier killing to 2 Soldiers.

    If they don’t, this exercise in appeasement will never cease… this is a case of diminishing US power… Time to stop the madness…

    Lets allow our military to work here at home and send each and every Islamic refugee from the middle east back to nation of origin. (orany Muslim)

    And finally: clean our own government house: top to bottom, get rid of each and every Islamic appeaser and send them with the refugees back to the middle , maybe then they’ll understand what they have done to America only we will not allow them to return: Jimmy Carter first in line followed by Barack Obama

    I personally find this a total insult to the brave men and women of the US armed forces. They are disciplined, patriotic and enduring in their great effort to turn Afghanistan into a civilized country and all they get is ROE’s and insults from their CIC. A pox on this coward, if the American people cannot recognize this POS for what he is and what he is doing to the awesome country that America is, they deserve what they get.

Instead he should be apologizing to the american people. A real leader and christian will be protesting the muslim people through world prayer that are about to execute the christian pastor.

    not sure if someone has brought this up, why is the pentagon apologizing to the members of this particular mosque in VA?

    Does the pentagon think there are members of this VA mosque who have family in Afghanistan that are attacking our troops? And this is true, then these are supposedly muslim AMERICANS, why aren’t they voicing their opposition to the deaths and attacks on our troops over there? Is that why the pentagon is there, to apologize to them so that they then try to sway their family over there?

    We are still waiting for an apology for the burning of Bibles which were sent over to Afghanistan in 2009. Why could they not have just sent them back to the churches that donated them. Instead they burned them. There was no apology and never will be. It seem we only apologize to people who hate and belittle the USA, Christians, Jews the Bible and anything that is related to them.

    Why is Obama still apologizing to Afghanistan! Now he is having our generals apologize to muslim mosques in the USA . Why did they not apologize to churches in the USA when the Bibles were burned? Christians would have said, okay we forgive you. Muslims will not; they will continue to hate and try destroy us and our way of life no matter what we do. And that includes a lot of muslims in the USA. Why do they come here anyway? It seems they would want to live in a country that completely believes the way they do.

    Roanoke Co. father confirms soldier son’s death in Quran burning protest

    Cpl. T.J. Conrad, who grew up in the Roanoke Valley and graduated from Northside High School, was killed in Afghanistan on Thursday, his father said this afternoon.

    Conrad, 22, was one of two American troops who was shot and killed by a man wearing Afghan military or police fatigues during a protest over the burning of Qurans on a U.S. air base, according to Tim Conrad.

    “It was basically an ambush,” said Tim Conrad.

    T.J. Conrad leaves behind a wife and 7-month-old son. His family is traveling today to Dover Air Force Base to receive the body after a ceremony.

    Tim Conrad said his son had been in the Army for about four years, including time in the Reserves. He was set to be promoted to sergeant on March 1.

    T.J. Conrad was a standout on the Northside High School wrestling team while a student there. He graduated in 2007.
