Ms. Al-Qatami invoked the Guantanamo Bay bogeyman and blamed the burned Koran incident on insensitive, ignorant Americans. The case, she asserted, was caused by "a lack of zero tolerance for hate crimes and a lack of information about Arabs and Islam as a whole." Ms. Al-Qatami also told the Roanoke Times: "Let's face it, books don't burn themselves and end up outside of a mosque. It's a willful act."
Muslims in Virginia also expressed their knee-jerk outrage: "It is a shame that people are so ignorant," said Blacksburg mosque member Idris Adjerid. Ahmed Sidky, a Muslim graduate student at nearby Virginia Tech, told the Roanoke Times the case "was certainly very symbolic."
It certainly was a symbol -- a symbol of the knee-jerk penchant among some civil rights groups and their enablers to cry racism, claim discrimination, and criticize U.S. law enforcement authorities for not doing enough to stop "hate crimes."
It turns out, you see, that the burned Koran was left at the mosque by... a Muslim student.

What should we do........shoot the guy who dropped off the burnt Koran but didn't make his intentions clear.......or should we beat the legs of those who complained so badly that they will never walk again? What do you think? We have to stop these people from making false accusations and making the US look bad. Tell us, o wise one, what must we do?
