You know what I don't get?
Marilyn Manson routinely tears pages out of the Bible whenever he performs a concert, which means he goes through a lot of Bibles when he's on tour, but nobody other than Fred Phelps or possibly Rick Santorum wants to see Manson's head adorning the top of the Washington Monument. It's a Bible. Although Christians recognize the text as sacred, they also realize that more Bibles are printed every single day in almost every language known to the civilized world. Even Klingon.
But try burning a few copies of the Quran that have been demonstrated beyond question to pass secret messages between Taliban prisoners at Bagram AFB in Afghanistan, and all of a sudden, Army officers are being assassinated, our chain of command is apologizing up and down the line as though they accidentally buzzed Mecca with a Predator, and now some people are calling for the White House to be razed as atonement.
The same principle applies. It's a Quran. They print more every single day. The Quran isn't going away just because we denied some Taliban prisoners the ability to send clandestine messages to each other while in our custody.
Peace be upon us all.
