MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Because it was “evil”, and we all know how much radical Islamists hate “evil” things, especially when they’re “inhumane” and “savage.” Given the history of the Obama Administration, don’t be surprised if senior advisers to the President begin urging him to call the Afghan clerics to apologize for the apology. In other recent news, Islamists burn down seven non-Muslim schools in Nigeria, an Imam rapes a fourth-grade child at a mosque in Bangladesh, and an “I-Would-Do-It-Again” child-killing Muslim terrorist is given her own talk show in Gaza …

By Hamid Shalizi – “(Reuters) – Senior Afghan clerics said on Friday the burning of Korans at a NATO base last month was an ‘evil act’ that must be punished, a demand that could deepen widespread public anger over the incident.

‘The council strongly condemns this crime and inhumane, savage act by American troops by desecrating holy Korans,’ members of a council of clerics said after meeting President Hamid Karzai, according to a statement issued by his office.

‘The council emphasized that the apology for this evil act can never be accepted. Those who committed this crime must be publicly tried and punished.’

Despite apologies from President Barack Obama and other senior U.S. officials, the desecration of the Korans at Bagram air base ignited a wave of anti-Western fury across Afghanistan, including protests that killed 30 people.

The Koran burnings are a setback to the Western campaign to win the hearts and minds of Afghans in order to weaken the Taliban and force the Muslim militant group to negotiate an end to the war now in its 11th year.

A joint investigation, conducted by U.S. military officials and members of the Karzai government, has concluded that five U.S. soldiers were involved in the incident on a NATO military base, officials said on condition of anonymity.

But the joint probe of the incident, one of three being conducted, did not provide specific recommendations on possible disciplinary action the soldiers might face, the officials said.

A separate U.S. Army probe, which has not yet been completed, may contain such recommendations.” Read more.

Despite an apology from US President Barack Obama, the burning of the Muslim holy book at the Bagram base north of the capital ignited a wave of anti-Western fury across the country… ‘After the first step of a profound apology, there must be a second step … of disciplinary action,’ Jan Kubis, special representative for the UN secretary-general in Afghanistan, told a news conference.” Read more.
