I wonder how many Bibles are desecrated every day in Muslim nations and nobody says squat about it....
How about here in the good ol' USA? Remember "Piss Christ"? The government funded "art" that featured a crucifix immersed in the artist's urine? How about the antics of ACT-UP the AIDS activist group that stormed into churches during services and threw condoms at parishoners? These aren't acts of desecration? Now I have to ask you, how many people died or were hurt because of these acts? Right.... zip.
How about Ted Turner's public and not very flattering comments about the Pope and the Catholic Church? How about the insulting comments made by then Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders that "the Catholic Church should get over its love affair with the fetus?". I don't think even one bandaid was needed after those comments.
Then of course, there is the oft repeated and repeated line about pedophile priests. Nevermind that the number of offenders make up way less than 1% of the total priests in the United States (yet, for some odd reason, we never hear about pedophile social workers, teachers, psychologists and psychiatrists which have molested far more children that all those priests put together). Again, not a single person killed, probably more blood is shed when I cut myself shaving than was spilled over those comments.
But oh boy, don't even think about insulting those Moslems and their faith! Why? Don't we worship the same God? Why is the Left so incensed when Allah is insulted and mocked but not Yahweh?
I'll tell you why flushing the Koran incites such sanctimonious outrage among the liberal elite. It's not about the Koran or God or defending any sort of faith. It's all about the Left using any pretense at all, even religion, which they so detest, hate and despise, to attack what America and Christianity stand for. If the truth be told the Left thinks, but won't admit, that those Moslems are nothing but a bunch of ignorant backward brown types in need of the enlightenment of the Left and their gods, Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin. It's like the White Man's Burden revived and updated but without the racist overtones.
The Left isn't for liberty, it's for license. The irresponsible squandering of liberties that valiant patriots fought and died for. They aren't for freedom, but for slavery, the slavery of immorality. Consequences? That's a construct of the bougouis capitalists to keep the masses sexually repressed and oppressed! And damn the torpedoes, who cares who gets hurt, as long as the Left and those who belong to it look good, that's all that matters.
And these idiot journalists, wrap themselves in self righteousness and the Constitution. How DARE the White House question the journalistic standards of Newsweek! How DARE the White House criticize the High Priests! Why, why.... that's.... that's BLASPHAMY... is what it is! And then when they apologize, they do it in such a way that it isn't an apology and they make it sound like it's all Bush's fault.
