While American Muslim organizations have welcomed the apologies offered by President Bush and the Army commanders, they pointed out that the actions of our men and women in uniform reflect on the U.S. government and people and such incidents contribute to damaging America's image around the world.

Executive Director, Samina Faheem Sundas of American Muslim Voice, was not surprised to hear about the Quarn being used as target practice because “since 9/11 our administration has created a culture of fear, hate, anger and division among all Americans which has resulted in Islamophobia. Many fellow Americans feel justified and honored to insult Islam and Muslims because of that.”

I wonder how many sons lost this man has personally accepted

"It is a dangerous case. We had been silent and accepted the killing of our sons, the destruction of our homes and the theft of our money, but we do not accept insults to the holy Quran," he stressed.

Ernest, after Bu$h said your above

comment, the Chicken-Hawk Bu$h asked if they would send him the bullet riddled Quran so he could piss on it and use the pages as toilet paper too.

The first thing Bu$h said on his War Of Terror campaign was, this is a "Crusade", which I doubt few recall.

I sincerely apologize as an American citizen to all Muslim's around the world, and deeply ashamed that a "Kissinger" STUPID soldier would pull such a thoughtless stunt, who should be strung up by his testicle's and stoned to death.

Therefore, I give all Muslim's of the world permission to do the same to as many Bibles that you can find, as retribution. But I know you hold a deep respect for Mary Magdiline, the woman who bore the Prophet Jesus who you recognize both in the Muslim religion.

I hope you can find in all your hearts the ability to forgive my nation in its "War Of Terror" being waged domestically and abroad.

Not being a religious person,

I just realize that I combined 2 Biblical Mary's into 1, please excuse my oversight about this.

What I ment to say was Mary-mother of Jesus.
