The Quraan has been the subject of Bush’s attack against Islam and it was the cause of a furor against Holland after a Dutch MP Geert Wilders produced a cheap publicity stunt against the Holy Book.Protests in Afghanistan and Iraq, two occupied Muslim territories under US military command, were registered against the Nato and the US after it was revealed a Quraan was used as target practice by a US soldier in Iraq. The Quraan with 14 bullet holes and with graffiti scribbled on its pages is the latest example of violations and disrespect by the Americans.A Nato soldier and two civilians died after violent manifestations in Afghanistan denouncing the profanation of the Quraan by the US soldier, a sniper who has since been removed from Iraq. Another soldier associated with Nato and seven more Afghan civilians were wounded in the demonstrations.There are fears that this incident may spark more violence in other Muslim countries though it is not expected to see any attacks on US targets anywhere around the world. Muslims sees the Quraan as a holy book – which it is indeed – and defacing it or committing acts of profanation against the book is a terrible crime for Muslims.A U.S. commander held a formal ceremony apologizing to Sunni tribal leaders in Iraq for the incident and US President George W. Bush, the worst president alive in the world, apologized to Iraq’s Prime Minister and Washington’s puppet in Baghdad. The Bush apology is not available publicly – and may never have been uttered as claimed by the American press – but it is revealed that the ignorant American president said he was sorry for the incident to Nouri Al Maliki.The Quraan has been the subject of Bush’s attack against Islam and it was the cause of a furor against Holland after a Dutch MP Geert Wilders produced a cheap publicity stunt against the Holy Book. It was also revealed that American soldiers have defaced the Quraan in Guantanamo where at least 400 Muslims are being held against their will, illegally by the US warmongering regime.At the start of the war against Islam, the Bush administration called for a new ‘crusade’ against Muslims and Islam calling world leaders to be with him or to be against him in this war. Since then, Islam, the Holy Al-Quraan and the Muslims have become the easy targets of anyone who want to take a shot at somebody or something.The war on terror – which is a real war against Muslims and Islam, has altogether given chance to anti-Islamic elements to attack the rights of Muslims from Malaysia to Great Britain, France and Turkey.During the 7 years of state terrorism sponsored by the US government, American soldiers have desecrated several Muslim prayer houses or Masjids, even killing wounded Muslim insurgents in Masjids. They have also destroyed many copies of the Holy Al-Quraan while in Guantanamo their soldiers used the Holy book as toilet seat or even stepped on it. These are only mild examples of what the Americans have done while we refrain from publishing the worst.According to Islamic beliefs, those who desecrate or mistreat the Quraan will pay a personal but very high price. Time, which cures most of the ills, will show and if we are lucky enough we shall witness the pain and agony that the desecrators and abusers of the Holy book will go through.However, we also wish that such incidents will not occur again and that the desecrators thinks ten times before they commit such odious crimes.Comments (0)

A gold mania could happen.
Here's why... Gold manias begin when investors flee real estate, currencies, bonds, and stocks because their prospects are so bleak. We're close to that right now.

The Australian government and justice system should stop the farce in the trial of Muslim Journalist Belal Saadallah Khazaal of the New South Wales in Australia. It has been proven that the police did not do its investigation properly before sending the accusation papers against Belal to trial. This has not only damaged the image of the Australian Muslim but also that of Australia as a nation that is too pushy to prove that Muslims are terror suspects.
Read the transcript of the trial below:
Are the Muslims fond of the United States of America which they may be seeing as the new ‘Caliphate’ that can bring them back to world power? This is what it appears to be with the lack of response from Muslims and their leaders with regard to the events in Georgia and Russia.
It is the season of swearing with the American song ‘I swear’ turning the atmosphere into a happy swearing mood! While Anwar Ibrahim is the only one who says ‘I won’t swear’, the rest of the cohorts are swearing over the Muslim holy book or unofficially and even to clear their hands of scandals.
SINGAPORE, Aug 23 - Singapore is on the verge of a hand, foot and mouth disease outbreak, the Straits Times reported on Saturday, quoting government health officials.
Another horrible story of American inhumanity
