US sniper shot at Koran in Iraq - BBC

Nor do I think introducing some context by drawing a valid comparison is really "off-topic". Otherwise, there isn't much to say, is there.

I just was surprised at how quick this "comparison" was made before any comments on the actual story were made. :rollseyes Previously I've seen posts which were more related to a certain topic getting deleted, but not this time I guess.

A more germane question might be why the original story was posted. What was the point?

Why don't you post your little puzzle in this section?

Don't be trolls ya'll....

Oops I should stop, before I turn into one of them!
 
It is an Islamic forum after all. Don't expect us to dismiss something like this. The Qur'an for us is our pride as is Islam for us. Your post would make sense had it been on a forum that had nothing to do with Islam.
We condemn anything that's against Islam, including killing innocent people. Just cause you don't hear it or see it doesnt mean we don't!

Back to topic shall we? Don't be trolls ya'll....

Very well, what do expect the US Army to do? They clearly recognized the cultural and religious sensitivity of the issue and they took prompt action.

Don't just say get out of Iraq, either. :)

What concrete action do you want? Do you want concrete action or is it just the same old beat up on the Americans routine? At some point it begins to look like the Danish cartoon thing. After all, this was a single individual acting out of authority. Regardless of how that soldier feels about Islam it was a foolish thing to do as it inflames tensions. Quite likely he had received specific training on things not to do and he is going to be in BIG trouble. Now what?

Yeah, i jumped in with the comparison, not because the forum had gone into a feeding frenzy, although that was alaways possible, but because I'd seen other reports on this, you tube commentrys, other forums.
The reaction was powerful enough to get a general making a personal apology. My point is that a similar reaction and solidarity against wanton slaughter would be nice as well, not that the shooting was trivial.

Hmm I don't see where I beat up anyone. I responded to your awkward statement as it needed a response. That's all.

Everyone on this forum knows how Muslims would feel if the Quran were disrespected. It was simply a stupid thing to do. Do you expect non-Muslims to simply reiterate the obvious or might a more useful discussion arise if a non-Muslim perspective were heard.

Thanks for that. Perhaps you could tone down the condescension a bit.

No, you didn't beat up anyone, but refering to other posters as 'trolls' might be seen as offensive. Please be sure to step in again whenver I seem a bit ungainly.
