* Tiberius wishes more people would actually read the article.

Quote:Thousands of enraged Afghans have taken to the streets for a fourth day, after US soldiers inadvertently set fire to copies of the Koran.

Quote:In a letter to his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai, Mr Obama said the books had been "unintentionally mishandled".

US personnel apparently put the books into a rubbish incinerator at Bagram air base, near Kabul.

Bolding mine. This is (as far as I can tell) an honest mistake, and certainly not a valid reason for losing pay or getting court martialed. This is just another example of the religious getting pissed over something completely ridiculous.
