    Insult to WWII heroes: Graves of British troops smashed and desecrated by Libyan Islamists in protest over U.S. soldiers' Koran burning

    A furious mob has desecrated dozens of Commonwealth War Graves in a Libyan cemetery amid continuing fury in the Middle East over the burning of the Koran by U.S. soldiers.

    Headstones commemorating British and Allied servicemen, killed during World War II campaigns in the Western Desert, lay smashed and strewn across Benghazi Military Cemetery.

    Protesters rampaged through site on Friday, despite efforts by America to calm tensions sparked when it emerged U.S. soldiers had burned Muslim holy books in a pile of rubbish at a military base in Afghanistan.

    President Obama has apologised to President Karzai for the unintentional burning of the Korans at NATO's main Bagram air base after Afghan labourers found charred copies while collecting rubbish.

    White House spokesman Jay Carney sought to counter criticism, telling reporters on board Air Force One: ‘It is wholly appropriate, given the sensitivities to this issue, the understandable sensitivities.’

    But it appears to have had little affect on sentiment among many in the Middle East.


    Twelve people died today during the bloodiest day yet of protests over the incident.

    Immediately after news broke of the incident, more than 2,000 furious Afghans - some chanting ‘die, die foreigners’, other throwing rocks - gathered outside the giant US air base at Bagram, 40 miles north of the capital Kabul, as reports of the burning spread.

    Military sources said that books were removed from the library of a nearby detention center because they contained extremist messages.

    Prisoners had been writing in the books as way of communicating.


    There were immediate fears the Taliban and other insurgent groups would try to exploit the claims, using it as a rallying call against US, British and fellow Coalition forces.

    The protests come as the FBI announced it has removed hundreds of pages of training documents that painted inaccurate or stereotypical views of Islam.

    The counter-terrorism training materials referred to the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, as a cult leader and included graphs that implied devout Muslims got more violent throughout history, while Jews and Christians became less violent.

    Typical savage Islamic behavior. It is what it is. But, what is foolish is for progressives to insist that the West allow these savages into Western nations as immigrants. There will be no end of problems with them.

    The British don't care about their war dead. The sceptred isle is actually the land of forgetfulness. The desecration of the memory of their war dead doesn't register or resonate with the British.

    I think they do. They just think their war dead deserve to be desecrated and if there is anyone else to blame it's not the savages who did it but the US and Israel.

    This doesn't surprise me one bit. The pigs have no problem desecrating the graves of war dead but burn their precious Koran and they sh*t themselves silly.

    Bloody hypocrites.

    And, of course, Abu shows up right on cue to try and justify the desecration because the "Evil Jews" do it too.

    And naturally this type of headline must never happen :-

    " American graves in Texas smashed by Muslims protesting against US Torture Programme ."

    But that's not fair, you big girls squeal .
    How rotten and primitive that Muslims should protest at their country being invaded , raped and thrown away for Western oil companies .How dare they .
    "As honest and caring Americans we would turn the other cheek , if they behaved toward us as we behaved toward them ."
    Yes . And my name is Dobby the Tractor .


    Of course you wouldn't behave with compassion , understanding and decency. You are Americans -- blind and with very long noses .
    I think , hypocrites, is the term .

    I take it from your pitifully irrational little Islamofascist rant that in your mind burning a couple of books justifies desecrating the graves of British and American war dead.

    Are you sitting comfortably , Jason .

    If a people who have been invaded , raped ,shot , pillaged etc only smash a few graves , you should thank God for being the luckies bunch of people alive .
    In their position they could be forgiven pouring a few bags of cyanide into your drinking water .


    I use the word "you" because silly UK was just part of the proxy front face for the US and NATO .
    No wonder some of the kids hop onto planes with things in their shoes -- other than their feet .

    Ray, you're always using that anger management line toward other posters. I'm just wondering, if the world is wrong, maybe it's you.:laughing:

    No wait. The racism in this thread defeats belief. Honestly. Of course it is wrong to desecrate war graves. It is also wrong and unhelpful to incite racial hate. Hopefully the situation will be defused before more damage is done.

    Ray, I'm probably one of the nicest and humane people that you could ever meet. I simply never get angry.

    As for treating the opinions of others with respect, I most certainly do if they're are deserving of respect. In this case justifying the desecration of soldiers graves because a couple of books were mistakenly burned is just plain disgusting.

    To you they are books. To others they are more than books.

    It's not as if this type of 'mistake' was the first. It isn't and it won't be the last. There is something about Americans that makes them repeat the worst in them but I don't know for the life of me why they don't learn from them instead of repeating them, whether it's burning books, pissing on the dead enemy, taking pictures of corpses or committing acts of torture.

    Young Jason and many of his fellow countrymen get rather confused when answers to questions cannot be answered in Black and White terms .
    They develop selective vision and go deaf --- listening ears , please chaps .

    Be it Iraq , Afghanistan , Egypt or Libya , Muslims have been treated unbelievably badly by arrogant American boy soldiers .
    Which is why so many Muslims hate Americans and why almost all Muslims neither respect or trust them .
    And it would be astonishing if matters were any different .
    No American claiming to be decent and intelligent should dare express surprise ---- when the most angry of the Muslim Brothers choose to exact some sort of revenge , whether desecrating graves or through other more overtly Terrorist actions . In fact they simply behave as the American Terrorists did initially -- with no respect to the Rule of Law

    For Jason , Muslims didn't have books on their mind . They were thinking about whole countries raped and devastated .
    For Don ,
    I cannot believe you still fail to see that France and the UK acted for the US by proxy in Libya . That war was carried out for matters relating to Oil and how it is paid , and the big companies were and are mostly American
    And have no illusions , NATO is America . Other countries make up numbers and are an attempt to dress it as respectable ( spit)

    It is the Racism throughout this Forum that is despicable .
    You have seen that I will not cow to Racists and in terms of discrimination I will not stand for Gays being abused .

    The sheer acidity and venom of many people here is astonishing and hugely distasteful .
    I may respond with anger sometimes , and , though I regret it , this is almost forgivable , because , invariably , the racists are not the brightest buttons on the shirt , and , to put it bluntly , they are mannerless and ignorant .
    Where I live , they would be removed permanently , forcibly if necessary , and without any interest in their explanations or excuses .

    There is a saying that Americans exhaust every possible wrong option before finally trying something that sounds right.

    Nobody finds that little bit interesting? These soldiers are being fed hate propoganda, so makes you think, the Quran burning was no accident. Hundreds of pages of insults to Islam.

    I'm sick of the US being so sensitive to 7th century morons. We should take a page from the Soviet book.

    In 1985, a Muslim group in Lebanon kidnapped 4 Soviets and killed one. The Soviets sent in a detachment from Spetsgruppa A, who identified the kidnappers, then kidnapped their familes and proceeded to send body parts to the kidnappers with the message that more parts would arrive until the Soviets were released. The Soviets were released and nobody messed with SOviets until 2006 in Iraq.

    If the Afghans kill a US citizen over some Koran burning, we should switch to burning Muslims. Take them all out. Do the world a favor.

    Wow, some very demented thoughts floating around in your head.

    But, try and use it, if you burn Muslims it will be infinitely worse than burning Qurans.

    I suggest you get help, with those kind of thoughts, that you think are so right you share them on public forums.

    Who murders people for drawing a cartoon of mohamed, or making a movie or writing a book? Who riots in the streets and murders dozens over a probably accidental book burning?

    Who stones women to death for leaving Islam? In fact, who stones people to death at all?

    Who murders Christians simply because they are Christians?

    Who straps bomb vests on women and children and sends them into markets to kill people - including muslims - buying food?

    Islam is demented and the rest of us have had enough of its 7th century barbarism.

    You need to understand the Afghan perspective, I would assume it is something like thials: Americans came and brought nightmares to Afghanistan. War. Violence. Death. Slaughtered thousands of innocent people. Families. Now, these same soldiers burn our Holy Book, spitting in the face of Muslims. How do you expect them to act! You are calling to burn people because a few died! Well, thousands of Afghans have been killed! Ad the same people killing them burns the Quran! Of course they are going to be angry... You just spat on their religion, their lifestyle, their beliefs, the only hope they have left after you invaded their country...

    But the burning was no accident, these soldiers are fed anti-Islam propoganda. I'm sure they knew what they were doing, and had a good laugh as they did it. Like the ones who pissed on the dead bodies, was that an accident too?

    Stoning is not an Islamic punishment actually, oops your ignorance is showing. Not metioned in the Quran, it is in the Torah. Why is it used in some Islamic countries? I'm sure you would ask that. Unfortunately I'm not too sure. I haven't asked any of the leaders why.

    Where does that happen? And do you think that doesn't happen to Muslims too?

    Exactly... these are the "Jihadists" who do suicide bombings, killing innocent people and Muslims. 3 sins in 1. How can they be Muslims when their final actions on Earth are 3 sins?

    But none of this justifies what you called for in the other post.

    And life under the Taliban, who ruled under Islamic law, was so great?

    The Taliban and AQ started this, they planted the seeds, now they reap what they sow. If you don't want US troops in your home, don't f(*)(*)k with us.

    I will admit the mistake the US made was in trying to nation build in Afghanistan and Iraq. Just like you can't teach an old dog a new trick, you can't teach a barbarian to be civilized. We should have gone in to Afghanistan, cleaned house, said "bother us again and we will be back and will finish the job for good", and then left.

    Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. At this point, I dont care. I've had enough of this Islam crap.

    As to pissing on the dead bodies, thats better than what the muslims do. What do the muslims do? Mutilate, burn bodies, hang corpses from bridges, drag them through the streets, have a party over them.

    How about live people? We put muslim terrorists in a hotel in the Carribean, muslims behead and torture our soldiers. Have you ever seen a beheading? Its not fast and painless like in tv, its long and slow and the muslims make it into a party singing their little allah is great song.

    You can act like islam is the religion of peace, nobody believes it. You are a hypocrit.

    Stoning is not in the koran but it is in the hadith in multiple places.

    But lets say you are right and the hadith is wrong (and by the way, there is a fatwa out on people that oppose stoning, so you better watch out questioning your fearless mullah leaders), and stoning is not permitted. Then what is the punishment for adultery? Death.

    How about rape? The woman is put to death unless 4 men can confirm it was rape. Sure, a man is going to rape a woman and have 4 witnesses present to testify he raped her.

    How about "honor killings"? Who does that? Christians, Hindu's, atheists? No, only muslims.

    And back to stoning, who practices stonings? Only muslims.

    So even if stoning is not explicitely in the koran, it is embedded in muslim culture, along with all the other barbaric practices. Even if the koran is a great and wonderful book, the culture it created is corrupt and disgusting. The fruits of its labor convict it as a false religion.

    Islam declared war on the "infidels" a long time ago. Its time we recognized it and applied some 21st century technology to solving the problem.
