You really think that's all there is to it?

What are they alleged to have done to the Qu'ran?

Maybe there's more, maybe not. But so far, that's what it seems to be. Heaven knows the liberal press can forget to check sources when they can blame Bush for something.

I mean: is that all there is to the protests? It is all about one American newspaper report about Guantanamo guards flushing a Quran down a toilet?

Think of the outrage overhere if a Bible or a copy of FHM was flushed down the pan, It might block the loo however.

I think so, judging from this:

The Afghan protests broke out Tuesday after Newsweek magazine reported in its May 9 edition that interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, placed Qurans in washrooms to unsettle suspects, and in one case “flushed a holy book down the toilet.”

I don't doubt that terrorists siezed on that story and inflamed the opinion of people who went to protest.

Exactly... There is nothing more the liberal press love than to print unchecked "facts" in order to incite violence to sell more papers. The more death, the bigger the boner of the liberal newspaper editor. Just ask Dan Rather about putting out unsubstantiated "news" stories in order to cause a negative reaction towards the United States. There is nothing that makes a liberal, particurally a media liberal than printing something bad about the US. The 15 dead is just the cherry on the top.

Those terrorists seem to have a lot of clout, judging by the worldwide wave of protests they are able to unleash, including the Pakistani and Saudi governments:

KABUL, Afghanistan, May 13 - Thousands of Muslims, from Gaza to Pakistan to Indonesia, emerged from prayers today to join Afghans in rapidly spreading protests over reports that the Koran had been desecrated by American interrogators in Cuba.

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia expressed dismay over reports of the religious violations, and political leaders throughout the Muslim world called on the United States to investigate the allegations. American officials have pledged a full investigation, and asserted that such conduct, if it occurred, was outside the bounds of official policy.

This was posted here yesterday in another thread. Im pretty sure the neesweek article was there. I know I found it and read it.So Islam isnt a contributing cause of terrorism huh. To kill people because someone ALLEGEDLY flushed a Koran down the toilet or if they flushed 100 Korans down the toilet is idiotic. Its only a book. I dont care if they flush a thousand bibles down the toilet christains arent going to go on a killing spree. Weve seen pictures of the Virgin Mary covered in dung and the crusifix in a jar of urine in museums and its called art for heavens sake.
