Remember, Joe Biden said the Taliban are not our enemy.
(CNSNews.com) – In the wake of President Barack Obama sending a three-page letter to Afghan President Hamid Kharzai, apologizing for U.S. forces having mistakenly burned some Qur’ans at a U.S. air base in Afghanistan, the Taliban is calling on Muslims to kill Americans or beat them and take them as prisoners.
The call for violence against U.S. troops in Afghanistan came as Muslims in South Asia and elsewhere prepared for Friday prayers–a potentially volatile time.
Islamist groups in Pakistan, meanwhile, drummed up protests against the burning of the Qur’ans, with some leaders appealing for jihad against the United States.
Echoing incendiary calls by the Taliban for Muslims to react violently to the mishandling of the religious texts, militant leaders charged that the incident was a deliberate plot against Muslims.
Two U.S. troops and at least seven Afghans have been killed in three days of rioting in Afghanistan.
“We should not be satisfied with mere protests and empty slogans but the military bases of the invaders, their military convoys and their troops should become a target of our courageous attacks,” spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement directed to Taliban fighters and the “zealous and faithful people of Afghanistan.”
“Kill them, beat them, take them as prisoners and teach them such a lesson that they never summon the courage to abuse the Holy Qur’an again,” he said.
“Kill them, beat them, take them as prisoners” … so much for appeasement Sheik Obama! Remember YOU are the one who is currently committing the “unpardonable sin” of keeping our Troops over there AND you sent more to other Middle Eastern Countries. Looks like you’ve lost whatever radical Muslim base you thought you had! I don’t think they like YOU very much any more (if the ever did)!
Your appeasement, bowing and scraping and gutting the military has portrayed the [once] mighty America as a wilted paper tiger giving our EXTERNAL enemies the attitude “We have nothing to fear from these pathetic wimps”, thank you very much!
Roosevelt had it right “Speak softly and carry a big stick” Look what you’re giving us – a TOOTHPICK!
I applaud the Afghans for the protests. They have learnt an important lesson of history: http://andreasmoser.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/book-burnings-here-and-there/
Another great example from the “religion of peace and tolerance”
