Seven US military trainers were wounded in a grenade attack at a base in northern Afghanistan.
Reuters reported:

Seven U.S. military trainers were wounded on Sunday when a grenade was thrown at their base in northern Afghanistan, police said, as anti-Western fury deepened over the burning of the Koran at a NATO base.

Despite an apology from U.S. President Barack Obama, riots raged across the country for a sixth day on Sunday against the desecration of the Muslim holy book at a NATO air base at Bagram. Some protesters hoisted the white Taliban flag.

The Afghan Interior Ministry identified one of its employees as a suspect in the fatal shooting of two U.S. officers in its headquarters a day earlier, an attack that prompted NATO to recall its staff from ministries.

One civilian was killed, 15 more were wounded and three policemen injured in riots near the NATO base in northern Kunduz province, where the blast that wounded the Americans took place, regional police chief Samihullah Qatra told reporters.

Sounds like it’s time to mini-gun the crowds, since napalm is no longer used.

Hey! Don’t forget that mooslims belong to the Religion of Peace, per federal propaganda. They use any excuse to riot and murder. We need to pull out and cut off all future aid. Let them rot.

A mini-gun would be nice, and some cluster bombs for good measure. It might be fun to grab some AA-12s and just walk down the street.

Burning the koran is no excuse for all of the evil their spewing over there. They simply don’t want NATO there and their looking for excuses to commit jihad against any non-muslim. Although jihad isn’t supposed to involve any sort of military command, the evil that’s in these people won’t let the fact go that there are people who don’t believe in their allah. They are embossed with anger from their dictators and have been trained from little on that killing Jews and Christians is what allah wants and they will be rewarded for this action by allah himself and given something like 72 virgins from allah. Would be funny if they were all fish.

Well all of this has given a new meaning to the term “Holy War” or “Religious War”. That battle was supposed to be more on a conscious level and not in hand to hand combat. Sad!

I say get the heck out of there and let the idiots train themselves and then they can fend for themselves when they finally end up forcing us to go to war with them.

Islam is not a religion of peace it is a cult of death. Building Islamic nations is an absolutely absurd strategy, and how tragic it is that so many great men and women have died as a result of it.

Hopefully a critical mass of folks will begin to see the light on this, but I’m not holding my breath.

“Afghans stepped in to rescue the books, though some were already burned.”

What a perfect setup for Marine snipers.

That is such a target rich picture. Why don’t we just repay Afghanistan for what they are giving us as a reward for our sacrifice and drop a few bombs onto their riots and end pictures like this.

They’re right. The U.S. should leave. We are far too cruel and intolerant.

Presidential Apology Fails

President Obama’s apology for the burning of Korans by US troops stationed in Afghanistan failed to stem riots that have already claimed numerous lives, including two US soldiers.

“The burning was inadvertent,” Obama insisted. “Troops ignorant of the document’s demands that Muslims have a religious obligation to kill Jews, apostates, and unbelievers thought they were burning terrorist propaganda. We have been trying to reeducate our servicemen, but it is difficult to break through to people raised to believe that ‘turning the other cheek’ represents a religious ideal. They cannot conceive that a holy book might command the faithful to slay those who offend their beliefs.”

A spokesman for the Taliban called the apology “totally inadequate. The Koran is the word of God. No one may desecrate it. The act of these unbelievers is punishable by death. We call upon all Muslims everywhere to attack, kill, or capture any American who is within their grasp in retaliation for this outrage.”

This is the sobering result of wanting to be liked, instead of feared.

When it’s so obvious, even illiterates will recognize weakness.

I’m so glad the POTUS personally apologized to that old, bearded, grandpa shown in the photo above.

I’m sure the President’s apology managed to quell that respectable representative of the “noble people of the Afghanistan” anger.

I agree with Earthmover’s post…..they “all” need a bath!!! They look like a bunch of uneducated pagan barbarians and probably smell bad. Bring our troops home now….after we drop a few “Mother of All Bombs” on them.
