Newsweek's shame

Newsweek has backed off of their story about desecration of the Koran at Gitmo. The claims have caused riots and fatalities and has shown again what can happen in the rush to get the scoop. It has also shown once again the scope and dangers of Muslim fundamentalism in the area.

That Muslims would riot to the point of fatalities, or execute people for religious insults shows just how different and backward they are culturally. It is hard to exist in peace and harmony with such people. One can only hope democratization can help them find their way out of the 12th century and into the 21st century.
