We all look the same to them!!
or something similar - we are all "christians" and all "crusaders" and all "the west".
My Friend here is your Quote and here is my Reply,,, Obama Would Have Apologized For The Bibles Being Offensive To Them and Threatened To Prosecute The Guilty Serviceman or Servicewoman For Offending Them.

It's unacceptable for uneducated apes to be burning religious texts in public. They might not be important to you, but they are important to others, expecially in some cases throughout the middle-east were people are unable to afford their own books to study. It is an insult.
Even though religion (as a whole) is part of the problem and the reason why all major conflicts/wars have started... people's property should be respected.
The upsetting part here is that a british memorial monument has been destroyed on behalf of uneducated american troops. I don't want my country pulled deeper into this mess by the ego's of a selective few american troops.

Revealed: How one war memorial is desecrated in Britain every week By Tim Shipman

The cemetery is one of four in Libya maintained by the British-based Commonwealth War Graves Commission. In neighboring Tunisia, 2,841 Americans are buried at the North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial.
And few Libyans know that a fellow countryman is buried here. His tombstone is the only one that bears the Islamic crescent moon and star, also the symbol of the Libyan rebels. Here lies Omar Hussein, of the Libyan Arab Force, slain in 1943.
Fatour is paid $235 a month by the graves commission. He says he has missed several payments since the rebellion began because the commission's contractor is trapped in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, cut off by fighting. "I'll keep taking care of them whether I'm paid or not," he says. "British or Jewish or Indian or African, I care for them all." Fatour is 52, weary from his life's work.

This is insanity... This is eventually going to lead to another religious war.. you all know its true.. you can feel it.

Err it wasnt there property , muslims had been defacing the word of god themsrlves to spread messages in jail, I thought defacing or misrepresenting the quran was also as equal an insult as its destruction.........once again double standards at play by the holier than thow brigade....

Heh heh, genociding em all may be a bit harsh, tho it'd be nice if the Zealots of the Abrahamic religions could refind the whole peace to fellow humans thing.
Okay, that was too brutal, even for me.
Sorry. Few too many drinks.
Reminds me of a line from a NOFX song....something about 'now is not the right time to sober, now the idiots have taken over'
But i STILL think that christianity, islam, judaism, hinduism and the rest equal dropping a number two in the gene pool.

it was'nt flattened like a pancake. In previous years; Especially after Ghaddaffi - 1969 - kicked out All Christians and converted their Churches into Mosques.
Later they Murdered a WPC in London uk
Then came the Locherbie catosphy
All that after so many WW2 soldiers rescued Liby from Nazis
