Now that the “Koran desecration” charge has been so useful as a way of attacking Gitmo, Islamofascists are seeing where else they can give it a try.
The only reason Americans took it seriously in the first place is because people rioted in Afghanistan over the original phony Newsweek report and killed fellow Afghans. So, many in America, who are caring and compassionate, reacted by saying that Koran desecration must be a terrible thing. As has often been pointed out, Americans would have yawned if anything similar had been alleged to have happened to our holy books. We’d just print more of them.
So now Islamofascists have suddenly discovered that, lo and behold, they just found some new Koran desecration, this time in Israel.
We are making a mistake to let these Islamofascists use our own compassion against us. The Islamofascists kill women and children. They have been expanding the number of nations ruled by Shari’a law for 1400 years. It looks like they’re about to expand it into many European nations. They want the U.S. to be ruled by Shari’a. A war to impose Shari’a is currently causing the genocide of Muslims by fellow Muslims in Sudan and Darfur. Under Shari’a, nations permit women to be stoned to death. This isn’t a Hollywood film; this is what’s happening in specific nations in the world right now.
The next time a charge of Koran desecration is made, the U.S. should get a whole bunch of Korans in a big pile, and flatten them under a giant steamroller. We just can’t keep taking these kinds of charges seriously.
Update 6-23-05: I was the first to say this as far as I know; I’m happy to find myself in the company of others whose work I admire. On June 11th, Mark Steyn wrote in a similar vein, making fun of the charges of Koran desecration. Just yesterday I was commenting to friends that it appeared these charges were no longer being taken seriously. And late yesterday I saw an Instapundit link to this article by Ryan Sager detailing why such charges cannot be taken seriously:
There’s an important debate to be had in this country about just how far we’re willing to go in our interrogations. But it’s a difficult debate to even get started when one side thinks that we should be extremely concerned with the possibility that someone, somewhere might have desecrated the Korans of the people responsible for the murders of Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg, Fabrizio Quattrocchi, three-thousand Americans and now hundreds upon hundreds of Iraqi civilians.
I’m proud to have been among those initiating the expression of this view.
