Missing the point.

We stepped and pissed on it, but there's no evindence that we ever flushed it down a toilet (then again, we've said before that there never was any mishandling of any sort whatsoever, so you can believe what you like). Because there is no evidence of any actual flush, we must assume that Newsweek lied. Damn liars!

Some 30 people have died in detention, zero of them because of suicide and self inflicted wounds. Must be the flu.

No Galmin...YOU'RE missing the point. If this had happened (and I'm sure it has) to the Bible anywhere in the world, you'd never hear about it (and you haven't, have you.)

Europe is slowly beginning to bow to Islam the same way they did to Adolph years ago...the more things change, the more they stay the same. :ohno

Of course I would. If the personal Bible of detainees (who were locked up in prisons detached from the juridical system and human rights) was stepped and pissed upon by guards from a state proclaiming its democracy, juridical system and respect for human rights (i.e. any country in the western world), I am certain that I would hear about it.

Bullshit. How can mishandling of prisoners at your end suddenly be interpreted as Europe bowing to Islam? If I condoned the actions in Guantanamo and elsewere, would Europe suddenly not bow to Islam? How can a failure to follow your own laws be Europes fault? Are you, in fact, beyond reason?

I'm most certain you would not. The countries where such things might happen do not allow the media in...so you are making not only an illogical assumption, but a grandiose one as well.

The western world is part of any place whatsoever. It is obvious why you fail to differentiate by writing: "should this have happened in a dictatorship or totalitarian state, you wouldn't have heard about it". I agree, probably not. I woldn't have heard of either misshandled Bibles or misshandled Kurans.

Would you like to compare your country to a dictatorship or totalitarian state? It sure looks different once in writing, doesn't it?
