THINKING ABOUT THE KORAN ABUSE

Look, does anyone really believe that "Any disrespect to the Koran and any other religion is not tolerated by our culture and our values," as Col. Jim Yonts is quoted as saying? Especially among the military? At a time when we're told that our own Air Force Academy is proselytizing cadets for the religious right and harrassing non-evangelicals? When one of our most visible generals, Jerry Boykin has described the War on Terror as a "holy war against Islam"?

This whole debacle is not the result of a short paragraph in a Newsweek report, which was previously alleged in many, many other reports; it's the result of a pattern of religious warfare being waged not only against foreign cultures and non-Christian faiths, but against our own people.
