Take away their Qur'ans & solve the problem at Gitmo!

The LA Times headline yells, "Improper Handling of Koran Confirmed." That is a lot different from putting it down the crapper, but "headline scanners" are not going to care. It will be confirmation that fable shall trump fact...and the LA Times in their sensationalist story title will have contributed to it. It ends up being a story of hearsay and one more case of unbridled "yellow journalism" by the LA Times.

I continue to be fed-up with this whole issue. Take away the Qur'an from the detainees and solve the problem. They have no "right" to it, and since the guards keep getting dinged for improper "this and that" with the Qur'an it seems like this is the best course of action for both the protection of the Qur'an and the "sensitivities" of the detainees. We sure don't want to be insensitive do we?

For Muslims tolerance is a one-way street. When will the US get used to the idea that it is never going to "bend over backwards" far enough to satisfy those who look for any issue, no matter how trivial, to bash the US. It reminds me of BOHICA, an old Army acronym. It appears that the Muslims have learned the science of BOHICA well. What does it stand for? (Bend Over Here It Comes Again)

One snippet from the article reinforced the bash attack approach so typical of the LA Times. It has nothing to do with the Qur'an, but the Times needed to stick it in anyhow to keep the flavor of "America Bad" in the report. The Times added the FBI report stated that detainees had said, "The guards dance around when the detainees are trying to pray. The guards still do these things."

GOLLY GEE MAGEE! Maybe these dancing Americans are just praying too? But what would the LA Times know about a bunch a typical revivalist/fundamentalist in a Christian service where swaying and dancing is all a part of the service? This newspaper is too busy irresponsibly carrying on the tradition of William Randolph Hearst to be bothered with fact.

Before you start thinking only the LA Times suffers from ABS ("America Bad Syndrome"). Michelle Malkin reports that most of the major dailies reported this differently, but all in the same vein.
