U. S. general worships Allah

An American soldier uses a copy of the Quran for target practice and is caught (or supposedly - I’m leaving open the possibility of a scapegoat). He is forced to write a letter of apology to Sunni leaders. Now I think the whole act of using the Quran for target practice was fairly childish, and that one shouldn‘t do anything to tick someone else off without good reason, though I don‘t personally think he should be disciplined for it. But what followed was that the general who read the apology to the Sunni leaders kissed a copy of the Quran which he then presented to them. He was spreading the word, I suppose. In case there is any doubt, let me make this abundantly clear. Though the general might not have thought of it this way, his act of kissing the Quran was an act of worship, of idolatry. That’s what your tax dollars are going towards, folks.

The worst part about it is the motivation behind it, which is apparent in the article. We can’t tick off the Sunnis, because they’re our allies in our war. That’s right, our war - not theirs. Read the article here.
