@Guess: They make them. As you can tell its not the real American flag. The real American flag has 50 stars.

barbarians.

Allah will indeed deal with them at day of judgement who dared to burn His book.

@harish.. Who is barbarians? These people or NATO troops?… I guess you are talking about NATO troops not these people..

I wonder why these same people never protest like this against corruption, poverty, social justice, equal rights and the like. These people are hypocrites who take religion to an extreme.

@Muhammad:
Why would you expect these people to protest for other things? These are so-called religous parties, so obviously they protest for their own purposes, its foolish to expect them to protest for other things!
But seriously, its Americans who are at the fault here, not these people!! These people have nothing else to do other than protesting, so Americans should be careful themselves!! And I dont understand who would buy theire “it was a mistake” excuse! They keep doing stuff on purpose knowing what the consequences would be!!

I do condemn this act by NATO, but why they remain silent when hundreds of copies of Quran get burnt in attacks on mosques, mazaars and Imam bargahs

An apology is simply not enough. This is not the first time they are degrading a scared religion. First they came up with rubbish on Facebook last year. Then came the Danish Newspapers with the silly cartoons. If that was not enough the US Pastor from Florida tried to fill the gap. Then the news came from Guantanamo Bay. In a series now comes this event. Even it incites me as a moderate & enlightened Muslim. Mere apology wont do. Bring all these perpetrators in front of the world.

For Americans their flag is as dear to them as Quran is dear to you. How will you feel if the people in photos were non Muslims and instead of flag it was your dear book? Many people feel same way after seeing such photographs.Recommend
@harish:
Barbarians with real bad teeth….

@A R Khan Yusufzai:
If such exaggerated accusations incite you so easily, then you are not moderate or enlightened. Sorry.

@let there be peace
“For america their flag”
V won`t mind if they burn our flag in reply, rather than burning
our sacred book…After all,these people r not burning their bible
or any other sacred book of the people of another faith…
Besides I believe,Fire belongs to Allah as well as book..
Its just the message and hatred americans every now and then,
send to this ummah…and I know what`s going on against Islam
on youtube……………..It will keep spreading even though the
disbelievers hate it……..Recommend
It does not matter who burn Quran or kill Hafiz, no one will be able to finish Islam in Hearts untill the day of Judgement. Islam is spreading very fast.
Recommend
Islam as a culture/religion is indeed spreading but quantity is not equal to quality. What has muslims achieved, eitehr for themselves or for others in the world, say in the past 100 years? They havent even made a BALL PEN.
Islam as a culture is oppressive, backward, narrow minded and intolerant. This is easily proven by the corrupt, poor and mismanaged state of muslim countries. Wherever msulims go, they create problems. We need to look at ourselves first before pointing fingers at others.
