I’m on a roll tonight. This next story isn’t about the stupidity of Islam (which is of course a given), but rather about the stupidity of the American news media:
Newsweek reported on May 8 that US personnel at Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Koran as an interrogation tactic, which has sparked rioting and calls for jihad (que scary music) in Afghanistan:
Newsweek magazine said in its May 9 edition investigators probing abuses at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay found that interrogators “had placed Qurans on toilets, and in at least one case flushed a holy book down the toilet.”
Apparently they didn’t stop to think about the fact that it is physically impossible to flush any book down a toilet–even a book as shitty as the Koran.
Idiots.
Sure enough, this apparently occurred to someone at Newsweek, as they are now backing off the story. Of course, people had to die before they pulled their heads out.
Idiots.
