Burning of the holy Quran by NATO in Afghanistan

[Thuganomics]

The incident stoked anti-foreign sentiment that already is on the rise after a decade of war in Afghanistan and fueled the arguments of Afghans who claim foreign troops are not respectful of their culture or Islamic religion.
One protester, Mohammad Hakim, said if U.S. forces can't bring peace to Afghanistan, they should go home.

The U.S forces are leaving Afghanistan.The savage Afghans are free to resume their sanguinary ethnic feuds and return to their barbarism so long as they don't give shelter to international terrorists.

The gaalo savages actually did the muslims a favour. I would rather the word of Allah SWT be consumed by purifying flames than be in the hands of people who don't even wash the hands after using the toilet.

Wallahi I was thinking the exact same thing

Nato has dropped the ball and looks only forward to leaving afghanistan since they have failed so hard.

I read this earlier this morning. The story of what happened keeps getting worse, classic chinese whispers. This morning this is what they said happened, even in this article you can see the story changing.

the Korans were in rubbish that two soldiers with the US-led coalition transported in a lorry late on Monday night to a pit on the base where waste is burned.

When five Afghans working at the pit noticed the religious books in the rubbish, they stopped the disposal process.


General John R Allen: 'When we learned of these actions, we immediately intervened and stopped them."
"Foreign troops tried to burn a container of holy Koran books at three o'clock in the morning, but the Afghan mujahideen employees working at the base did not allow them," protester Mohammad Zahir told the BBC.

Why were there Qurans in the rubbish

"These were religious materials that were gathered up at the detention facility in Parwan [province, where Bagram is located] and inadvertently given to troops for burning," the Isaf statement said.

And when the Nato troops run back home the taliban will just resume business as usual.

How is it possible the most advanced military org in the world have not been able to iradicate a few hungry shepherds with armed only aks and rpgs?

Hubris. Sheer hubris. Now they have spent billions, countless dead, corrupt afghans in "power" and the Taliban still at large. No amount of Quran-burning is gonna get back any of your lost pride or wasted resources.
