The Taliban claimed no responsibility, and a spokesman stated:
“The Taliban had nothing to do with this, it was a pure act of responsible Muslims,” spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said by phone from an undisclosed location.
“The foreigners brought the wrath of the Afghans on themselves by burning the Qur'an.”
Did you note that? "...responsible Muslims". He suggests that the foreigners, who had nothing to do with the burning, brought this on themselves.
Christ. If there is any more proof that radical Islam is something that has to be eradicated from the face of the Earth, then this is it. Religion of peace my ass. Islam is so fucking backwards, it is still mired in a 16th Century mindset. It is a cancer on society that needs to be violently extracted.
Take a look at France - whole blocks where the police do not dare to go - populated by Muslims who rule outside the law of the country. This is spreading into Europe and it must be stopped.
