Are the lives of the people killed as valuable as the Koran? What sort of value system is this? Aren&#8217;t the rioters responsible for their actions?<\/p>\n<p>There are a few points here that have not been stated often enough. The Korans were accidentally burned. They were originally confiscated because prisoners were using them to send messages. How did this news travel so quickly in a country that doesn&#8217;t even have electricity in many parts of the country? How many Korans has the Taliban burned when they have attacked mosques? Islam is a violent religion that stirs up its followers to violence. It is not conducive the free societies or peaceful nations. Until the followers of Islam renounce violence, there will never be peace in countries where Islamists are in control or in regions of the world controlled by Islamists. When in charge, the followers of Islam are violent people. History has taught us that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=f636a14e-ce0c-4f60-a4b3-4fe6af501aa1\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday CNS News\u00a0posted an article about Afghan President Hamid Karzai&#8217;s response to President Obama&#8217;s apology for American troops accidently burning the Koran.
