[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 946502, member: 1246"] [h=2][URL='http://weaselzippers.us/2012/03/01/un-demands-american-troops-be-punished-for-koran-burning/']UN Demands American Troops Be Punished For Koran Burning…[/URL][/h] Dear UN, [I]eff[/I] off. [INDENT][URL='http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/03/01/afghanistan-un-korans-idINDEE8200B020120301?feedType=RSS&feedName=southAsiaNews&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=70621'](Reuters)[/URL] – The United Nations joined Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Thursday in calling on the U.S. military to take disciplinary action against those who burned copies of the Koran at a NATO air base, calling the incident a “grave mistake”. Despite an apology from U.S. 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. At least 30 people were killed in protests, including two American soldiers who were killed by an Afghan soldier who joined the demonstrations. “After the first step of a profound apology, there must be a second step … of disciplinary action,” Jan Kubis, special representative for the U.N. secretary-general in Afghanistan, told a news conference. “Only after this, after such a disciplinary action, can the international forces say ‘yes, we’re sincere in our apology’,” added Kubis, without elaborating on what action should be taken. Obama, in a letter of apology to Karzai last week, said the burning of copies of the Koran had been “inadvertent” and an “error”. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
