Perv wants punishment for those who allegedly desecrated Quran
2005-05-27
Hardline Islamic groups were expected on Friday to hold protest rallies in Pakistan over the alleged desecration of the Quran at the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, a day after President Gen. Pervez Musharraf demanded punishment for anyone found responsible.
Sure Perv, and why don't you punish the ISI boys Taliban up north?
Musharraf told visiting US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs Christina Rocca that people in Pakistan were "deeply dismayed by the reported desecration of Holy Quran at Guantanamo Bay" and called for a "full inquiry to bring to justice the perpetrators of this shameful act," a Foreign Ministry statement said. Rocca assured the president that "the US government was investigating these allegations and those responsible would be held accountable," the statement said. There was no immediate comment from US officials on the meeting.
"Are you nuts? We certainly will say no more!"
On Friday, hardline Islamic groups are planning to hold riots protest rallies in Pakistan over the desecration allegations. Anti-US sentiment has risen since earlier this month, when Newsweek magazine reported that interrogators at the US prison placed copies of the Quran in washrooms and flushed one in the toilet to get inmates to talk. The magazine later withdrew its story and apologized, but Pakistan has said this was not enough.

#6  Perv is wafted by the same Islamic breezes as Fazl and Qazi and Sami. It's a different color flag, but they flap in the same direction, competing for the salutes of the rubes...

#5  I don't think that Perv understands that the desecration is a myth generated by released detainees in order to shakedown the US governement by capitalizing on the low regard that European journalists haveof the US military. It appears as if the grain of truth in the story is that Korans were flushed .. by prisoners trying to make a nusiance by plugging the commode with the only paper available that doesn't dissolve.
Maybe we can capitalize on Pervez' gullibility by explaining that the perpetrator has been identified as one, Beetle Baily, and provide a cartoon of Sarge kicking Beetle's ass to prove that he has been punished.

#4  Nevermind the carbomb slaughter of mooselimb pilgrim folks going to the mosque shrine for a religious holiday we got this serious alleged, so-called, possible, rumored, Coor-ann flushing to consider. Does killing people at their place of worship on a holy holiday rank below a rumor about coor-ann desykrashun on the seething rage flowchart?

#3  Message above this one is about someone in WakiPakiLand blowing up a Shi'ite Mosque.

He can start there if he wants to stop Koran desecrations.

#2   French Shoemaker Accused of Desecrating The Image Of Lord Rama

French shoemaker Minelli is manufacturing women’s shoes showing mythological images of Lord Rama on the surface of the shoes.

Hindu leaders claim the shoes are a display of contempt for the spiritual beliefs of Hindus and has caused fury and outrage among the one billion Hindus across the world.

Attorney Brij Mohan Drir said the matter could end up in the European Court of Human Rights. He wrote in a letter to Minelli; "Your act and conduct showing Lord Rama on shoes is rather degrading, defaming, agitating, upsetting, intolerable, outraging our religious beliefs and emotions, spreading ill will and hate between the communities, and against the norms of democracy and fraternity or brotherhood and against law and order as it may cause breach of peace in the world."

Hindus are peaceful people and a similar reaction to the false story in Newsweek, alleging desecration of the Koran, is not expected, but it is probably safe to assume Airbus can kiss their hopes of sales to India goodbye.

So I guess that evens things up between France and India. France withdraws it’s support for a seat for India on the UN Security Council and India buys Boeing, the real looser is...
