Flush, With Evidence

The completely overblown story about US soldiers flushing copies of the Koran down the toilet at GitMo has taken on some odd turns. As I had previously noted, there were allegations that it was the detainees themselves who desecrated Korans provided to them by the US military.

Some apparently sought to agitate others into a frenzy, claiming that it was the US who desecrated the korans. Now, the US hasn't provided the logs for the time periods involved, but the details emerging suggests that the detainees - terrorists captured in Iraq and Afghanistan purposefully sought to destroy Korans and make it look like the US was at fault.

I once again ask whether a Muslim who desecrates the Koran is subject to execution for defiling the Koran.
