By All Means, Flush It …

Published on May 25, 2005 By stevendedalus In Politics

Prison abuse goes with the territory — emotions run high no matter the time or particular place. Who among us would be willing to embark on a grim career of prison guard? — needless to say, very few of us. Except for the most arrant, sadistic abuse most violations go unreported precisely because no one really cares, except for the inmates. That said, over time, many prison wardens have enacted remarkable reforms to safeguard within reason the dignity of inmates. However, when non-violent prisoners are thrown in with the scum, their safety and dignity are in jeopardy; no matter how deep the dedication and conscience of the officials, they will turn their back on infractions.

It is an impossible task of our men and women in the service cursed with the duty to oversee the arrant hypocrisy of pious killers; nonetheless — given the few who demonstrate sadistic tendencies — our armed services are expected to respect every aspect of Islamic beliefs that had inspired the prisoners to the blasphemous cause of the Taliban and Al Qaeda who wreaked decimation on our own soldiers and innocent civilians.

It is one thing to demonstrate solemnity for a global religion that is based on peace and good will, and quite another to respect those who defy their own faith. Who among us would not at least want to flush these culprits’ beliefs down the toilet?

The whole sanctity of the Koran thing has always puzzled me. This is a religion so stolidly against idolatry that it espouses non-representational art. In fact, the written Koran is always to take a back seat to the real "word", i.e. that which is memorized by the religious leaders. Otherwise people could read false Korans printed by evil folks and be misled.

I've never been able to rationalize that alongside this "Wash your hands before you touch that book". To me that sounds horrifically idolotrous.

Puzzling indeed! And worse, infidels have to wear gloves to touch the "sacred" scriptures.

oh yes and NO females within their vision or that too breaks some rule the crazies have and desacrates the muslim religion, We really need to see that all the PRISONER TERRORIST do is play the religion card against the U.S. because they know it works.

You are correct. The average person is not as good as the average guard. I would flush it, and damn if I would take any care in its handling.

left hand, for sure. otherwise, it would likely be horrifically unhygenic. (pretty damn hard to wash only one hand tho).

After you finish flushing the Koran, then flush the Old Testament,the New Testament, the Torah, etc. Let's not limit the flushing to only one religion.

FLUSH 'EM ALL

Wasn't the Quran known at one point as the Islamic war manual?

Sorry but steve did NOT advocate flushing the quran down the toilet. He very specifically said their "beliefs"

It is an impossible task for the US services in Iraq .... maybe some Professional soldiers would be better.

maybe some Professional soldiers

Our Soldiers are professionals. You have no idea the level and scope of training they receive. They do thankless, difficult, dangerous jobs for very little pay.

I suppose we should hire washed up KBR has-beens to do our Soldier's jobs (at a price tag of $120K a year), right?

(Sorry for going off-topic, steven, but that comment touched a nerve)

I don't blame you for being pissed, TW - theknitter was way off the mark.

And in this rare instance stevendedalus and I are brothers in arms - you, sd, are rather quite on the mark.

But don't let that go to your head.

Cheers,

You know what is truely funny about all of this? In any religion, God is able to do all. How is it, then, that some one has to not only go on Jihad (of which, to me, does not ALWAYS mean put a gun in your hand but somehow that is what everybody does), but actually copy the ways of the devil in order to win?

That's right, copy the ways of the devil. They are quick to say that America (the US) does it so... this must mean that God is telling them to copy what evil does i order to fight back.

They kill us, we kill them. They kill us idistimiatly, we kill them the same way, even if it goes against our religion to kill women, elderly ad children... This is the Muslim way?

As Bakerstreet says, there are way too many oppisites here for someone to think they are doing the will of God. It would seem that they have just decided to kill because they FEEL they need to (no different from anyone else). It just seems dead wrong to do it in the name of God. I would think that God could just as easily do it for Himself or rather, if you decide to do it then do it, but not in the name of God.
