| #12 And what if the Newsweek report were true? What difference does the disposition of any particular book make? It's not our holy law. The US doesn't punish anyone for insulting the Prophet, his Quran, or for leaving Islam for another religion. Sharia is not in effect in the US, not yet anyway. |

| #11 The Parliament of Pakistan - house of enlightened and moderate islam http://www.dawn.com/2005/05/14/top1.htm âThis century will be the century of Islam and a day will come when the banner of Islam will fly on the White House,â said MMAâs Sahibzada Abul Khair Mohammad Zubair. âThere no need to complain to the enemy, it is necessary to take revenge, it is necessary to launch jihad against it,â said another MMA member Maulana Abdul Hakim from the NWFP. A woman MMA member, Shahida Akhtar Ali, said those defiling the holy Quran outside Pakistan should be punished in the same manner as those committing such act inside the country, and called for a fatwa against them similar to one issued by the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeni against Salman Rushdie for writing The Satanic Verses. After the passage of the resolution, the house was adjourned until 5pm on Monday. |

| #6 U.S. must apologize over Koran report Sometimes, things won't go your way, and crying over it solves nothing. This might be one of them. |

| #5 Such opporunities for American Torte Lawyers [tm] to sign up those who have been injured or had family members killed, to sue Newsweek for publishing unsubstantiated rumor thus creating havoc. IIRC a famous Supreme Court comment, its roughly, 'you can not scream fire in a crowded theater'. |

| #4 This isn't our fight, folks. Newsweak is without a doubt saddened this report didn't kill Americans. Mebbe the MooseLimbs should apologize to Newsweak for failing to kill Americans. Oh wait... I forgot. Mooselimbs are pussies and don't like standup fights. My bad. |

| #3 An apology for something we didn't do? Well, maybe if Clinton was still in office you'd get the concerned, biting-lip type of feel-good nonsense, then we could all hold hands and sing "Give Peace A Chance" like in one of those sappy Coca-Cola ads from the '70's, and wouldn't that be just freakin' wonderful? No chance, ragheads. You drew first blood, not us. So go hump a few goats for me, will ya? |

| #1 I've got a better idea, why don't you apologize to us for killing innocent civilians, causing the mobilization of our forces and the deaths of our servicemen trying to stamp the crazy turds amongst you out. RoP my ass. |
