Muslims excused from being civilized?

OK, I've had about enough.

Apparently a week or so ago in Afghanistan, some Muslim prisoners -- being held as criminals or terrorists of some kind -- were found to be passing notes by scribbling messages to each other in a couple copies of the Koran that were available to them.

According to a NATO statement, it's a violation of Muslim ethics to write in a Koran, not to mention that the authorities didn't want the prisoners communicating with each other.

Also according to NATO, the proper way to destroy a copy of the Koran is to burn it. So the Korans were burned. 

So Afghanis have gone nuts. They're running through the streets of Kabul like the bulls at Pamplona, uvulating about "the Great Satan," burning US flags -- you know, all the usual. One Afghani soldier working with US forces shot and killed two US soldiers. And, to date, 18 of their own people have been killed in the violence.

The Comrade has apologized twice for the burnt Korans. To no visible effect.

So here's an idea. The Afghanis, and radical Muslims in general, seem to have a US flag on the spit somewhere at all times, waiting for CNN or the BBC to turn a camera upon it.

So why don't we take to the steets? Surround and throw rocks at a few Mosques? Kill a few hapless Muslims as they make their way to the supermarket?

Why? Because we're civilized people. We value human life.

It's extremely clear that Muslims do NOT value human life.

In other words, there's no "moral equivalency" here. It's NOT like, "They have the same rights we do. They're just different"

No, they show themselves over and over again to be a pack of murdering thugs. Not as civilized nor as respectful even of each other as wolves in the wild. We -- and I mean the West generally, and most areas of Asia, even -- are much superior morally than they are. We respect and protect human life. They don't. They're barking lunatics and actually dangerous. Can't be trusted in civilization. They haven't figured out the Golden Rule yet.

Why do we allow them to control our behavior by bowing to their insane and impossible whims?

So what are we doing in Afghanistan? We should pull out and let them slaughter each other. In fact, that would be a real relief. We can let Iran and Abracadabrajab scorch their sorry butts with their atomic weapons.

They see US soldiers -- or any NATO personnel, for that matter -- and they perceive them clad in armor, hoisted on a draught horse, carrying a lance, and flying some Crusader flag. I've said before -- and it's true -- they're not much more than shamans and goatherds.

Things haven't changed or evolved in Afghanistan since maybe the 10th Century. They don't deserve a seat at the international table until they learn some basic human decency -- and the impulse control that any Western child has mastered by the age of seven.

And Save OUR Republic.
