The Greatest Nation of All Drenches a Qu'ran


Only weeks after faux outrage was directed against Newsweek for claiming the Holy Word of Allah met an untimely demise in a Guantanamo Bay commode, the Pentagon now claims that a Qu'ran (and its owner) may have been desecrated by the Greatest Nation of All.
The Pentagon confirmed Friday evening — after the networks' evening news shows had aired — that a U.S. soldier had deliberately kicked a prisoner's holy book. The report also said prison guards had thrown water balloons in a cell block, causing an unspecified number of Qurans to get wet; a guard's urine had splashed on a detainee and his Quran; an interrogator had stepped on a Quran during an interrogation; and a two-word obscenity had been written in English on the inside cover of a Quran.
But there's no need to be alarmed about this, because it turns out that detainees have desecrated their Qu'rans as well.
White House officials noted that the investigation last month, by Brig. Gen. Jay Hood, the commander of the detention center, also found 15 cases of detainees mishandling their own Qurans.
Well if the terrorists are doing it, why can't Uncle Sam?
