The Real Quran Desecration

';

Indian Muslims hold the Koran during an anti-U.S. demonstration in Bombay May 16, 2005. The protesters were skeptical about an apparent retraction by Newsweek magazine of a report that U.S. interrogators desecrated the Koran and said U.S. pressure was behind the climb-down. The report in Newsweek’s May 9 issue sparked protests across the Muslim world from Afghanistan, where 16 were killed and more than 100 injured, to Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Gaza.

The real question we need to be asking is not why these Muslims are protesting the supposed desecration of the Quran (based on a story that Newsweek has since basically admitted was wrong), but rather why we have not seen similar scenes from Muslims protesting the real desecration of the Quran by terrorists who are killing in the name of Islam.

    What desecration of the Quran is there in fighting the Jihad, killing infidels, dying as a Shahid, and conquering non-Islamic countries?

    That is what much of Islam is about. And Islamists can prove it to you through both verse and actual historical context.

    Wise up, world!

    The birthright, the sons of Isacc / Jacob (Israel) and the sons of Ishmael no? Politicians drunk with the lust for power embrace Islam because they recognize a religion through which people can easliy be controlled through clerical puppets. These politicians and their media counterpart hate Christians, Jews and the G-d of Israel because they are their competition for the minds and hearts of the people and promote freedom from bondage.

    The Koran should rightly be desecrated for being the worthless fictional book it is.

    It’s pages though do make for good use as toilet paper sheets.

    First off being a Muslim is not all about terrorism because it’s the terrorists who have been not corrupted thus it is not justifiable that ALL muslims are that way… and the Quran itself is not something that is useless…it is these terrorism who had terrorized our world had a wrong misconception about their religion…there has been brainwashing going on behind the scenes to train these terrorists so it is not justifiable to criticise the Muslims that way…

    and Shahid is about dying in war , sacrificing your lives in a battlefield or a mother who died during childbirth…and thus you may go to heaven… but apprently the terrorists thought of killing the Christian believers or setting off bombs in public places is being a Shahid…which is not so true!

    on the other hand about the U.S. interrogators desecrated the Quran , is wrong too which nobody would want to be in the posisition of being discriminated against

    and people please, search on the net first of what is really a Muslim religion is all about before you blast your machine guns…

    it is so disheartening to see how people are being so hostile races of the people are against each other

    the Bible is the answer for everything.

    the Bible is the words of God.

    Do you believe that the Bible is the words of God?

    there are many evidences that prove that.

    neverthless the Bible is written by almost 40 writters who were living in different places and generation, all the stories are connected.

    there are many prophets in the Bible and we can see that all the prophets are true.

    at last, i want one to read the Bible then you can believe the existence if God

    I can’t believe how ignorant some people in this blog are. Have you taken the time to learn what Islam is about? It is all about peace. What you see and hear in the media about Islam is about a small fraction of fanactics, and the same can be said for all religions including christians, jews, hinduism… The problem with the media is that when a muslim is headlined, they target the religion ‘Islam’ and don’t focus on the person, that person does not represent all muslims. When was the last time a crime committed by a Christian denounced all Cristians? All the muslim people I know are the most peaceful people around.

    Peace be to all!

    Apparently, the Quran preaches reconciliation between people,doing good and giving to the poor(4:114) and at the same time it protects it’s followers from abuse/agression.(42:39-43)

    The only pollution to the way of life promoted by the Quran is the unauthorized hadith coupled with arab domination and persistance that they are the true ambassadors of Islam but they are actually (9:97). The arabs promote the Quran to the west not by wisdom but by declaring war against the west by shooting rifles in the air while holing the quran in the other hand. To make matters worse, they have a systematic hate education stemming from the knowledge of the hadith. The hadith promotes forcing instead of freedom(2:256), following blindly instead of thinking(21:10,67:10), and roping the masses instead of individual responsibility(17:15), intolerance instead of coexistance, subjugation to the leadership of religious leaders although there is clearly no human leadership in submitting to God. It’s between you, the message and God. (2:166-167 9:34 9:31)

    All verses taken from the Quran. Do your research. Peace.

    I think the best way is to let all the bible things and the qurant things a side. The religieus just part the people. We can live peace without bible or quran. We can stil live peace with our peace of mind. No differences between. So be one and leave all religieus stuff. Move on be real and beleive in your self and your experiences and be peaceful withou them.
    Religions is fear so leave the fear and follow your heart.

    Exactly! My thoughts as well!

    (well I dont think the “codes” work here, but any ways..) good observation.
    I think those who do crime in name of religion (legally or illegally) are either
    1-idiots , 2-are paid or 3-both! I am sure the unseen organizers are paid by govts 1. the participants are idiots 2, and the middle men are agents 3!

    As mentioned earlier, the Quran “preaches reconciliation between people, doing good and giving to the poor.” Read a book, people. These terrorist are not true Muslims, they are radical Islamists. I consider these people similar to the “Christians” in America that preach “God hates queers, Blacks, and Jews!” and all that nonsensical B.S.; not every mind thinks alike, therefore, interpretations aren’t always going to be the same. That being said, QUIT ACCUSING EVERY SINGLE MUSLIM OF BEING FUCKING A TERRORIST.
