todays "the idiocy that is a symptom of religion is the cause of most of the worlds problems" post.

http://edition.cnn.com...05/20/britain.protest/

and I quote:
'Martin Mumbanga told CNN: "The soldier picked up the Quran and threw it on the floor."

Holding their Qurans high, they called for death and mayhem, praising the destruction of New York's twin towers on September 11, 2001, and saying the White House is next.

Before they broke up, the protesters joined in meditation, and then they all prayed.'

...

OH MY GOD!#%!#%$!#% NO!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!! WE HAVE TO KILL SCORES OF OUR OWN PEOPLE AND CALL FOR THE DEATH OF GEORGE BUSH AND TONY BLAIR, THE NUCLEAR BOMBING OF THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE PENTAGON AND TOTAL JIHAD BECAUSE A BOOK GOT THROWN ON THE FLOOR!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!

read the article. I think it speaks for itself.

(and for the record, I'm aware of a hell of a lot of back story on this situation, but at it's root is the horrible politics of the US, not just the Bush administration, and also of the religious conflicts that have been going on for centuries. (un)fortunately, my point still stands.)
