Relgious Freedom???

I'm getting all political up in here today. This from a news story on yahoo:
http://news.yahoo.com

"The US Defense Department, announcing the result of an investigation this month, said that overall US soldiers at the camp handled the Islamic holy book with respect.
But it said military personnel at Guantanamo Bay once kicked the Koran and a copy was sprayed with urine in another incident."

Ok, ok, what? "Overall" they treated the Koran with respect? Kicking it and pissing on it is respectful? I have serious problems with that.

I'm not a terrorist apologist, so don't even go there. If these men were involved in terrorist activities, then we have the right to investigate those allegations. (FYI, those who have reported these acts had been held for FOUR YEARS without charges, and now they've been released from custody after being 'cleared' from the non-charges that put them in there in the first place.) But the fundamentalists in this country are always screaming "persecution" because of their faith. They get all up in arms when kids can't bring bibles to school or say prayers at football games. But if you're a brown-skinned person who doesn't read the bible or believe in Jesus Christ, then your beliefs be damned? We'll just piss all over your faith because what choice do you have but to sit there and take it? It shouldn't matter if they are in prison or here on a freaking work visa. Religous freedom should apply to EVERYONE.

Land of the free, home of the intolerant. Leave their holy book alone and watch where you point that thing.

Oh, and Newsweek - grow some nads.
