"Blasphemous Balls" Cause Afghan Anger

it's wierd that nobody is really bothered when Christians and their God are constantly kicked around. By those same Muslims who are so sensitive. Ask the Christian Korean hostages.

yeah one is that it is ok to insult Jesus and horrible to insult Mohamed. I would say those are different issues. I bet the Athiests and Anti Christians who go around defacing the image of Jesus would stop doing it  If Christians went around beheading those who insult Jesus. But Christians do not go around beheading people I wonder what religion does.

My question is why would a Saudi Arabia who are predominately Muslim let a Saudi Arabian company who one assumes is a Muslim company allow soccer ball to be emblazoned with a religious icon?  I would like to think the US Army were unaware this was wrong as they recieved the balls from a Muslim country in the first place.

Blame should be place, not on the US Army, but the country of origin who placed the labels on the balls in the first place.  

Barry your insight is amazing someone effed it up. But they just should play-------"GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL'!!!!

There aren't Muslim bookstores in Afghanistan selling Mohammed on a keychain or shot glass.

Even in no one else did it, Christians will put Jesus on a football themselves. Don't criticize them for taking their religion seriously.

After all this time it's not rocket science to understand that a Muslim would have a problem with sacred writings being "kicked" around. Even Comedy Central understood it.

Either gross incompetence or a deliberate act. If I was cynical, I would say it was a deliberate act.

citizenx did you say taking their religion seriously? are you kidding? how seriously do think they take it, maybe serious enough to blow up San Diego? Oh sorry isn't that were you live?

What I said applies to graven images. You won't find Mohammed on a keychain or a pot holder or maybe an apron, but you will find Jesus.

I don't really think it is necessary to threaten people on here.

CitizenX I do not plan on blowing up San Diego, I'm a loving Christian catholic raised boy. I just found it interesting that you refer to a religion that is involved in an orgy of violence killing anyone they just feel like killing, children Women and then hide behind those that are most vulnerable and point the finger at us when there is colateral damage. And you say not to critisize them for taking their religion seriously. And if given the chance would destroy any U.S. city even Miami were I am.

Actually you could make the case the MOST Muslims just want to live their lives as MOST Christians do.

I'll tell you what, I won't unfairly call Christians terrorist for blowing up abortion clinics and you don't call Muslims terrorist for what Al-Queada (sp) does.

I am really not here to argue with you, nor am I here to make baseless statements.

abortion clinics? are you comparing one Christian Crazy to the millions of Muslims on jihad who are currently blowing up our soldiers in battle? You should quit before you look more foolish.

That Would be China Barry.

phrolen,LOOKS LIKE THE USA HAS KICKED ANOTHER "OWN GOAL" IN AFGHANISTAN :)

Dear Chrissy Ill send you some Jesus toilet paper for Xmas. So you can pray in private every time you wipe. 

Ahhh... so you agree you shouldn't base our opinions of a group of people on the actions of a few! Wouldn't want to unfairly categorize people.

The South Korean Chritians aree obviously Enemy Combatants, and are being treated the same way as any Enemy combatants would by the USA. That is Kidnap them, Render them to a secret location, Hold them in definatly without Charge, and Dissapear them if it is expedient.

Thanks to the Messianic Christian agenda the Geneva conventions do not apply.
