Protesters decry alleged Quran abuse

Women in black Islamic veils marched through Srinagar, Indian-held Kashmir's capital, burning the American flag and copies of the US constitution, as schools and offices closed to protest against US soldiers' alleged desecration of the Quran.

"The defilement of our holy book is outrageous because we consider it to be the word of God," said Asiya Andrabi, head of the women's group Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or Daughters of the Community.

I really don't care what they think. I really don't.

 

[Redneck]

Isn't that sending a mixed message? Oh. We'll buy your flag, so we can burn it, so that we have to buy another one.

 

[SUNSTONE]

They closed the schools for this?

Where is the ACLU when you need them?

muslim resentment against the usa is far more widespread and deep than people realize . i remember after the start of the iraq war , restaurants owned by muslims in bombay refused to sell pepsi , coke and any us products

Pentagon confirms Quran desecration
​

The Pentagon confirmed for the first time on Friday that a US soldier deliberately kicked a Guantanamo Bay prisoner's Muslim holy book in violation of the military's rules for handling the Quran.

In other confirmed incidents, prison guards threw water balloons into a cell block to cause an unspecified number of Qurans to get wet; a guard's urine splashed on a detainee and his Quran; an interrogator stepped on a Quran during an interrogation; and a two-word obscenity was written in English on the inside cover of a Quran.
