First it was all about the holy Mosques in Iraq. Musn't go near them or in them or shoot at them. Never mind that the terrorist were using the Mosques as hiding places, ammo dumps and sniper positions. If so much as a chip of paint was knocked off a Mosque wall the pictures were flashed all around the world. The media fell all over themselves to portray the Americans as desecrating infidels and crusaders. Fortunately, someone in the Pentagon had enough of that bullshit and started taking out the bad guys - Mosque or not.
Now we have this Newsweek allegation that interrogators "in an attempt to rattle suspects, flushed a Qur'an down a toilet..."
The media latch onto it and around the world Muslims go on the riot. And as Roger Simon notes: "299 Words from Newsweek have yielded death in the streets of Kabul". And many more may die around the world with incalculable damage done to international relations; all because Newsweek wanted to outrage the Muslim world against the US. What's worse they quote anonymous sources.
"...sources tell NEWSWEEK..."
Where was Newsweek and the rest of main stream media when The Palestinian gunmen holed up in the Church of the Nativity tore up Bibles for toilet paper?
Where's the outrage? Where's the indignation? Why is the world media so hell bent on portraying Islam as some kind of sacrosanct religion, better and above the rest? Is their book somehow holier than everybody else's? Not bloody likely!
Hat tip Rantburg.
UPDATE
You won't believe this but Newsweek reports on another Koran flushing at Gitmo. This time their source is a former inmate. Unbelievable!
