Show Description: A short article in the May 9th edition of Newsweek magazine, by Michael Isikoff and John Barry, stated that United States' interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba had desecrated a Koran while questioning Muslim terror suspects. The Newsweek article set-off rioting and violence in Afghanistan, and other Muslim countries, and lead to the deaths of at least 15 people. A number of items are very troubling about the Newsweek article. First of all, the article, that caused all the violence and death, has now been retracted due to Newsweek?s inability to provide sources to substantiate the desecration claims. Secondly, and potentially most disturbing, is the fact that Muslim people are willing to riot and kill each other over the presumption that a holy book, the Koran, had been desecrated. If someone desecrated a Bible, that would personally upset me, but I cannot conceive of an instance where I would be moved to violence. It appears that a number of elements within the Muslim faith are successfully hijacking the Koran and Islam and using them for violence and aggression. What drives this violence and hate? Can we turn the tide? I will be speaking with Kamal Nawash of the Free Muslims Coalition (www.freemuslims.org), this Sunday, and we will discuss the grass-roots effort that he is leading to reject radical Muslims and supporters of terrorism. See you on Sunday!
