Obama apologizes for this, but doesn't demand an apology for the killing of 2 American servicemen over this.
Disgusting...

I'm not defending the actions of the individuals. I said that the coalition forces are at risk now, and it is evident with Afghanis trying to storm French and American bases.

It is actions such as this that create new terrorists, just as all the accidental civilian casualties, avoidable or unavoidable. Imagine losing your family to a terrorist group or soldiers of a different nation. What would Your Response Be? You lose your wife and children and in-laws and friends, your home and business..... you just might take up weapons and join a group yourself.

ok lets put it in simple terms for you.. here we go..
i understand and respect that those of muslim faith regard that book as "sacred"
ok
well lets say i regard the christian bible as "sacred" they have burned hundreds of them, when was the last time their president went on national television to apaologize?
i'll say it one more time..an innocent human life if more sacred than any book will ever be...eyt hundreds are kidnapped and murdered by muslims...
everything in this world is sacred to someone, yet you dont see the muslims apologizing for the atrocities they have committed against humanity, and god..
cheers "mate"

A rabid dog bites you.
Who is to blame?
You walk into a rabid dogs yard and put your face in his food dish and he bites you.
Who is to blame?
When you understand what the consequences of your actions will be and that they will be net negative but do it anyway, the question of intelligence only lies in those making the "intelligent" CHOICE to get harmed.

Oh boohoo those terrible terrible people! Oh please, go to the bible belt and burn bibles, see how that turns out for you. Go to isreal, burn torahs or however that is spelled, see how that turns out for you. Comparing the burning of flags, to the burning of someone's holy book is absurd. I am not religious and even I see that. It's plain stupidity is what it is, and if it wasn't a blatent provocation, then we have a bunch of morons running our military....

BOO HOO!
who cares... its just a bunch of paper created out of trees, mass produced and printed to brainwash the already feeble minded arab nation.
im so sick and tired of the bs with religion, its sickening, " oh no he burned 300 pages of paper, lets get him and murder him and drag his body through the streets!, im sure this is what allah would want"
enough already, as long as you believe in god, and know his love and teachings in your mind, who cares about some book...
its not like it was blessed in mecca or, some ritual was performed to make it "sacred"
the koran, torah, bible, etc...are all MASS PRODUCED... by MAN, in factories

Ahhh, but you're wrong. It's not just a collection of paper to them. It's a symbol of their faith and culture. By defiling their most sacred book, the soldiers have basically flipped an entire culture the bird.
and how many bibles, havent the muslims burned?
give me a break, its 2012 to me a human life is more sacred than some overrated, piece of paper that contains nothing but lies...
so a book means more to you than a be headed mother? or father? or a hung 15 year old "gay" boy?
HYPOCRITE
this world is full of them..
there is nothing more sacred than human life, once that is violated and tarnished...all bets are off
anything else, including some recycled toilet paper book is definatley NO EXCEPTION partner
