US troops use copy of Qur’an for target practice in Baghdad.


In a dispatch posted at 10:45pm Baghdad time Monday night, the Yaqen News Agency reported that US troops engaged in target practice using a copy of the Islamic holy book the Qur’an for a target in the ar-Ridwaniyah district of Baghdad on Sunday.



Yaqen reported eyewitnesses as saying that three US armored vehicles accompanied by Humvee drove to the shooting range near the Police Support Center in ar-Ridwaniyah and put a copy of the Qur’an on a stake. They then proceeded to shoot at it. After leaving obvious holes in the book, they wrote a filthy English expression on it, left it there, and went away. The American troops carried out their act of desecration in front of the guards of the Police Support Center, where the damaged and defaced book is being kept.

How would US Troops like it if Iraqi Resistance forces had draped a US flag over a Bible and did the same thing? Fortunately, the people of Iraq are not that stupid.

This is perhaps one of the most outrageous and provocative displays possible short of butchering yet another innocent family. This ain't cartoons, people-this is REAL!
