At Bagram Air Base, officials pulled several Korans from the shelves of their detention center library because they were found to have been scribbled in with extremist slogans and inscriptions by inmates. So they began burning the defaced holy books according to the Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n

But more than 2,000 Afghans protested the incident outside the Bagram Air Base that stoked rising anti-foreign sentiment and fueled Afghan claims that foreign troops disrespect their culture and Islamic religion even as the Americans and other NATO forces prepare to withdraw by the end of 2014.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators who gathered outside Bagram Air Field, one of the largest U.S. bases in Afghanistan, shouted, “Die, die, foreigners!” Some fired rifles into the air. Others threw rocks at the gate of the base and set tires on fire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the commander in Afghanistan apologized for being so insensitive;<\/p>\n

“It was not a decision that was made because they were religious materials,” [Gen. John Allen] said. “It was not a decision that was made with respect to the faith of Islam. It was a mistake. It was an error. The moment we found out about it we immediately stopped and we intervened.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the other side of Afghanistan, the Taliban was busy beheading four innocent men<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“The four men were civilians who were beheaded by Taliban for allegedly spying for government,” provincial spokesman Daud Ahmadi told AFP.<\/p>\n

The Taliban had found satellite phones in the men’s possession and thought they were spies, he said, adding that mobile phones do not work in that district and it is normal for people to use satellite phones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So I guess we can expect thousands of Afghans to begin protesting the Taliban with shouts of “Die, Taliban, die” and firing their weapons in the air and burning tires outside their Taliban base. That will more than likely be followed with an apology from the Taliban commander in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
