You remember the Libyans. The people whose goodwill we were supposedly earning by providing the military might to liberate them from Moammar Gaddafi, the guy who was slaughtering and oppressing them?
Yeah. Them. They destroyed the graves of British World War II casualties because of the accidental Koran burning by American forces in Afghanistan. Some real class-acts these Libyans.
Obama was quick to come groveling to Islamists by apologizing for the burning of the Korans, which — by the way — contained extremist notes from detainees. The books were being burned to prevent the notes from being passed.
Military sources said that books were removed from the library of a nearby detention center because they contained extremist messages.
Prisoners had been writing in the books as way of communicating.
But instead of saying, “Hey, the prisoners already desecrated the books, we were just disposing of them in the same way we dispose of our own old flags,” Obama came groveling with an apology.
How has that apology worked out? Two American military officers are dead today, 12 other individuals were killed in protests, graves are being destroyed, and Islamists are rioting in the streets. Well done.
My favorite line from this story:
The protests come as the FBI announced it has removed hundreds of pages of training documents that painted inaccurate or stereotypical views of Islam.
The counter-terrorism training materials referred to the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, as a cult leader and included graphs that implied devout Muslims got more violent throughout history, while Jews and Christians became less violent.
Wherever would FBI profilers get the idea that Christians and Jews kinda mellowed out whereas Muslims got more violent. How dare you suggest Muslims are often violent. Now they’ll riot, desecrate graves, and murder your fellow countrymen to prove you wrong.
