Where are the protests in the Muslim World about this? When that Pastor in Florida threatened to burn the Quran, there were riots and protests.

But when fellow Muslims do it. Not a peep is heard.

Such hypocrisy.

MONAWAR: Taliban’s ‘Burn a Koran Day’
Extremists torch everything - even their own holy book

By Wahid Monawar

I have always said that the Taliban are a bunch of hypocrites and unsophisticated individuals that used Islam as an ideology to promote a fabricated cause, attract like-minded criminals and inflame the emotions of innocent civilians. Furthermore, the Taliban have miserably failed to demonstrate that they are good for a progressive, democratic Afghanistan. Certainly, my notion of partiality is questionable since I have a clear aversion for the Taliban and what they stand for - but perhaps my prejudice is justified.

usual non-sense.. no comments on this

@mercenary2k

On July 12, an American Christian pastor from a small congregation in Gainesville, Fla., Terry Jones, fired off a series of messages on Twitter disparaging Islam as repressive and lambasting President Obama’s support for a new Kenyan constitution that could permit abortion and codify Islamic law. His final message or tweet for the day read: “9/11/2010 International Burn a Koran Day.”

So is the guy comparing the barbaric, illiterate, animal-nature and not-good-for-democracy TALIBAN with White, Educated, Democracy-Lover, Civilized pastor ??? is there any comparison between the two or he is just trying to defend the act of the pastor by saying look even Taliban did it.. so why to criticize Pastor???

Mr. Jones fatwabegan a campaign that quickly went viral and caught the attention of groups including the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the State Department. Even Gen. David H. Petraeus, the current commander of coalition forces in Afghanistan, warned that the images of burning Korans could endanger U.S. troops. Mr. Jones’ act precipitated anger among Muslims, ending in deadly riots in Afghanistan, threats from jihadists and pleas from world leaders that he call off his provocative stunt.

means if people from the world wouldn’t have apposed the act… it is OK for a pastor to burn the holy book of the religion he do not believe in… wow these some pearls which we never knew existed in the western societies…

@mercenary2k

In Afghanistan, an imam convened a demonstration in which protesters burned an effigy of Mr. Jones and chanted, “Death to America.” Some threw stones at a passing U.S. military convoy, but organizers quickly reined them in. Similar protests happened across the country later that week.

In Pakistan, where at that time national attention was focused on devastating floods and deadly bombings, this issue surged to the forefront. About 200 lawyers in the central city of Multan burned a U.S. flag in a protest of the plan, and several Pakistani officials and religious leaders lined up to denounce it.

Mr. Jones finally overcame his sophomoric slump and canceled his “Burn a Koran Day” stunt. You definitely cannot blame Mr. Jones, who had little knowledge of Islam and, according to a court deposition obtained by CBS News, he hardly knew any Muslims.

no we cannot blame Mr. Jones… he is White, citizen of USA, have access to all the sources of knowledge.. yes he can’t be blamed for it.. he was just an innocent american citizen… who didn’t knew what he was doing… !!! what a logic mr. wahid

@mercenary2k

Please forgive my inanity

ooooo sweeto!, you being modest, obviously like Mr. Jones you have no idea what you saying…

@mercenary2k

, but here is a group of extremists, the Taliban, who have made a living out of so-called “defending” Islam. But in reality, they have hijacked this peaceful religion, created a fictional cause and become slaves to Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) as well as to Saudi Wahhabi lunatics, killed thousands of innocent Afghan and Pakistani civilians and intimidated women and children. To top off all these unabashed atrocities, the Taliban burned the Holy Koran. The sham defenders of Islam burned the sacred book that they claim to defend.

WOW he have accused ISI aswell for the incident.. can he back his claims that ISI orders for burning of Schools or it is just another thing he dreamed off?

@mercenary2k

Recently, a group of Taliban descended upon the province of Laghman, Afghanistan, to intimidate feeble villagers and to carry out their Pakistani masters’ order and perform what they do best: burn schools. As these thugs approached to burn a newly built school, the school headmaster, risking his life, warned the Taliban that there were at least 400 copies of the Holy Koran in the school and if they burn the school they will, obviously, burn the Holy Koran. The Taliban commander laughed off the warning. So up in flames went the newly built school and all the copies of the Holy Koran. Nangyalai Seddiqi, the district governor, told CNN that the school was built by an American provincial reconstruction team.

Alas, at least i reached the point where something related to topic title is mentioned…

Which is sad incident.. the schools should have not been burnt or destroyed in the war-fare…

@mercenary2k

This story has received excellent coverage throughout the country from one of Afghanistan’s leading media groups, ToloTV, which clearly showed half-burned copies of the Holy Koran. I am sure it was broadcast in Pakistan and, perhaps, throughout the Muslim world. Nonetheless, I have yet to see one condemnation from the imams in Afghanistan, from the 200 lawyers in Pakistan or from any Muslim throughout the world. Where is the Muslim world’s outcry?

One thing i need to ask from the writer of OP, is there anyother news link for this incident!!! i have tried but couldn’t find any other link for the news item… the writer claimed that the incident was covered by the one of the leading media groups… then why only one man show…???

@mercenary2k

The deceitful world of extremists continues to unveil itself - from an arrogant supreme leader in Iran to a gluttonous Saudi king. Yet there is a lesson for all of us in this, especially those who would like to see peace and prosperity in Afghanistan and an end to the 32-year conflict. While, as freedom-loving citizens of the world, we would like to see a peaceful settlement to end the war in Afghanistan, it is quite necessary to factor in the imponderable wickedness of the Taliban. Negotiating with a group that has no respect for its own religious law raises a serious red flag and tilts one’s judgment that the conflict, probably, will recur after a negotiated settlement.

wow, Saudi King ( for not mediating may be)
Irani President ( for his anti-jews remarks maybe)
are also cursed and accused…

The whole article is utter non-sense… most of the time the writer is cursing, bashing people for opposing Mr. Jones, then he took one more step forward and get ISI involved in it… and then news had been covered throughout Afghanistan… and CNN also reported it… i searched for about 30 mins.. but couldn’t locate any such news item… would the OP or the write care to disclose his source of information… as this is sad incident which shouldn’t have occurred in the 1st place but since the writer with all his hates against Anti-Americans… need to provide something to support the news item… It would be suicidal fo Taliban of Afghanistan to do such things.. and one more thing i have noticed, the writer have indirectly said that Taliban of Pakistan are also controlled by ISI… i wonder what is the real name of the writer!!!
