[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 946821, member: 1246"] The fact that they say they want the soldiers "tried & punished" assumes guilt. That's backward from the way we view it. [U][COLOR=#0066cc]Reuters)[/COLOR][/U] – 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. [B]“The council emphasized that the apology for this evil act can never be accepted.[/B] Those who committed this crime must be publicly tried and punished.” Despite the apology from U.S. President Barack Obama, the desecration of the Korans at Bagram air base ignited a wave of anti-Western fury across the country. Muslims consider the Koran the literal word of God and treat each book with deep reverence. [/QUOTE]
