Taliban wants Muslims to kill and beat Americans over Qur'an burning

As I pointed out, no amount of apologies will make this go away.  The religion of the perpetually insulted cannot let go of a fundamental tenet; you must behave badly when a symbol of that religion is treated in a disrespectful manner.  No other religion takes it upon itself to kill, maim and destroy if one of their holy symbols is desecrated.  They may moan, whine, complain, protest and picket, but they do not murder.  That is a fundamental difference between Islam and all the rest.

The Taliban are a declared enemy of the West, so this proclamation is so much window dressing.  Some Muslims will continue to make an uproar and stay on the killing path, and most of their victims will be of their own kind.  Practicing sharia begets poverty, and the violence supposedly directed against the infidel will take the innocents more often.

Taliban's Response to Obama's Apology: 'Kill Them, Beat Them, Take Them as Prisoners'

(CNSNews.com) – In the wake of President Barack Obama sending a three-page letter to Afghan President Hamid Kharzai, apologizing for U.S. forces having mistakenly burned some Qur'ans at a U.S. air base in Afghanistan, the Taliban is calling on Muslims to kill Americans or beat them and take them as prisoners.

The call for violence against U.S. troops in Afghanistan came as Muslims in South Asia and elsewhere prepared for Friday prayers--a potentially volatile time.

Islamist groups in Pakistan, meanwhile, drummed up protests against the burning of the Qur’ans, with some leaders appealing for jihad against the United States.

Echoing incendiary calls by the Taliban for Muslims to react violently to the mishandling of the religious texts, militant leaders charged that the incident was a deliberate plot against Muslims.

Yes, we go out of our way to insult Muslims because we know they will react violently to whatever we do.  Sure, that makes sense.
