MSNBC Host on Koran Apology: ‘Americans Wouldn’t Go in the Streets & Start Killing People’

The situation wasn‘t all rainbows and ponies on Monday’s episode of “Morning Joe.” Host Mika Brzezinski defended Barack Obama’s recent apology over the burning of Korans, while Willie Geist seemed much less inclined to agree that it was necessary. The discussion included former George W. Bush foreign policy adviser Dan Senor, who explained that the burning of the books was not, in fact, an anti-religious act.
“I think what puts some people off is the context in which we’re in a constant stream of apologizing in this administration,” Senor said. “Every other week there’s an apology for something wrong that America does.”
Brzezinski disagreed with this vehemently and claimed that Obama’s “we’re sorry” was more than warranted. She turned to Geist and cited the example of an American flag being burned to compare the incidents and the need for a nation’s leadership to apologize for such an action.
“Let’s say the American flag was inadvertently burned. Would that not require an apology from another leader?,” she asked Geist.
“No, because Americans wouldn’t go in the streets and start killing people,” he answered. “So that’s a different situation.”
Geist then turned to Senor and, in an effort to be fair, asked if the former Bush adviser could sympathize with a war-time president doing whatever was needed — including an apology — to protect U.S. troops.
“If President Obama actually believes that this apology is going to tame down the violence, then of course — it’s worth doing anything,” Senor responded. “That’s not the case here. The president apologizes, his surrogates apologize, the commanding general on the ground apologizes — the violence is still spiraling pretty much out of control…”
Following this, Brzezinski was still undeterred.
“I think [the president] has some leverage to apologize without being criticized,” she continued, citing the fact that Obama has been “pretty tough on foreign policy.”

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 1:03pmIf we had done NOTHING there would be attacks, killings at another time- this is their religion (to kill all infidels NO MATTER WHAT) and I don’t know why it is so hard for us to accept that and we keep defending them.
Report Post »They are always looking for “excuses” to murder/rape and this was perfect. When they apologize (profusely) it sounds like we are indeed the guilty ones and confirms how gullible we Americans are.

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 2:58pm@ JZS….any morsel of respect that I had for your opposing views was just forfeited with that lame comment. You would defend apologizing for burning Korans that were already defaced by prisoners to communicate secretly back and forth and yet give a pass to the murdering horde????? Your values are messed up. You are crossing the line of calling good evil and evil good. Tell me, should Muslims apologize for the death of millions of Christians in Africa or were they provoked to murder by those nasty Christian people? Women who had infants they were nursing were raped and then both breasts were removed in brutal fashion by Muslim men so they wouldn’t be able to nurse their babies anymore. Or how about the many women raped in Pakistan by Muslim men because they didn’t cover up enough and when the woman files charges she is jailed for adultery and then sometimes executed. Or maybe you find the woman’s rights of such stellar and exemplary quality in Muslim countries you would like to go and live there. You seem to be all about defending them and their way of life against the evil brutal USA. So pack up and move to your paradise in the middle east !!!!!

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 6:42pm@JZS- I’m going to assume you meant to say “George Bush promised to discipline a soldier WHO, not to, shot a Koran”. Was the “shooting” intentional? Are you able to source your claim? And last of all, as an Obama supporter didn’t you expect “change”? I find it odd that every time Obozo does something outrageous, his lemmings compare his actions to those of Bush. The very person you found to be so objectionable. It would seem to me as though you didn’t get the change you expected. Yet you continue to cling to that worn out mantra. So strange.

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 8:30pmOtherhand, I can’t seem to post my original comment after three tries. I guess somebody didn’t like it. Bush apologized for a soldier shooting holes in a Koran (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7410367.stm). That’s just what Presidents do. They have other motivations than stoking your own hatred and the hatred of others.
Don’t bother explaining the rational for your hatred of another religion. You’re just repeating what others do here regularly. Honestly, I’m not impressed. The hatred of an entire group of people is commonplace both in the US and abroad and has been forever. It’s been Catholics, blacks, jews or whomever else and the language is just the same. Your not clever, you’re just following in the footsteps of other who have spoken much more eloquently of their hatred than you. Those people have never done much good for the world I’m afraid. And skip the insults too friend, they make you sound uneducated.
I’m sure there are Muslim terrorists posting right now the same kind of things you did, except about Christians instead. Thanks, I guess for holding up high the hatred of your version of Christianity, but you sound more like Bin Ladin than Christ to me.

Your jabs at me personally as you stand on some supposed high and lofty ground do nothing but expose your own pride. And my disdain is not for a large group of people just murderers. Call me crazy if you don’t share the same dislike for crazy out of hand violence over the burning of paper. I seemed to notice how you just skimmed right over the SYSTEMIC brutality across Muslim countries for women and people of different faiths. We can have a serious discussion when you show the same disdain for those acts of brutality. Your ability to justify knows no shame or boundaries does it? And if you think your comments somehow make you sound educated then that is about the funniest thing I have seen posted today. You always like to justify your positions and sympathies by pointing to other things you think justify them. The only problem is you forget to include the full context of most all of those situations because the context would paint an entirely different picture than the one you are trying to paint. BTW I could careless if I am judged by you. Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of righteousness JZS. There can be no peace with people who murder first and talk later.

You give some examples of the kind of things – true or not – seen here frequently being the kind of website it is, and say all 2 billion Muslims in the world do, say and believe exactly the same thing. You’re afraid of the 2 million Muslims in this country I guess, although outside the Ft. Hood guy, I doubt you can name another who has committed a crime. This may surprise you, Christians commit crimes too.
What you don’t see is that all prejudiced and bigotry is the same: against Jews, Christians, blacks, Irish, Mexicans or whatever other ethnic group here or abroad. You paint a bad picture, and say they’re all the same: blacks are stupid, inferior, want to murder you and rape your family and steal your money. Whatever.

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 10:54pmI see, like other posters, it takes two posts to reply to one of mine. Anyway, the Koran says, “If someone kills another person it is as if he had murdered all mankind. And if anyone gives life to another person, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. (Surat al-Ma’ida: 32)
I have a better idea though. Ask a Muslim. Go to a mosque or give them a call! You’ve never actually met a Muslim have you?
Let’s see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yelwa_massacre. 650 Muslims were massacred by Christians. Which proves that all Christians want to kill Muslims. And Christian husbands sometimes beat or kill their wives, so that proves they all do. And the conservative Christian Anders Behring Breivik only did what all Christians are just about to do when they get the chance: kill liberals.
You think you are different from people who hated or still hate all Jews or blacks, but you’re not. You just hate them and like other bigots, you have your reasons. People like you always do.

No one is holding a faith hostage based upon what a kook or kooks do all faiths have had their false members.

Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed. (Exodus 22:19 NAB)
Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.

Secondly, how many Christians organizations are committing terrorist acts sponsored by governments around the globe? For all your drivel and misdirection you STILL have not answered 2 questions. What about the millions of Christians killed or abused by Muslims in Africa and the women abused by Muslims in Pakistan as the courts penalize the woman under Sharia law. Second is a Muslim who kills unbelievers condemned or praised? C’mon now enough dodging. BTW I gave you an entire link to numerous teachings about killing infidels and unbelievers or those who leave Islam. My guess you know very little about the Qu’ran and what is taught in the 4 schools. Try lQQking in the hadith as well. My guess you are Googeling everything your posting and lQQking to others arguments to debate me. Funny how you think I am engaged in justifying when I have given and could at nausea give examples of violent Muslims killing and raping on mass systemic scales.

You claim all Muslims believe in killing non-Muslims, give the examples you read from your Islamaphobic websites, yet dismiss the peaceful nature of 2 million American Muslims and 99.9% of the rest of the Islamic population. The Bible teaches Christians to kill non-Christians, but you say God changed his mind about that (nice move!), and conveniently ignore the blood on the hands of Christians.

Second, The old Testament was a different covenant with Israel and was under the Mosaic law, for someone that likes to use scripture in their debate you know very little about its history or context. Third, you keep using the term bigot as if it were eventually going to stick even though I am dealing with factual information about doctrines found in the Qu’ran, the Hadith, and taught in the 4 schools of Islam. BTW in Islam it is OK to lie about who you are and your true nature to infidels. Islam is like the Borg it seeks to absorb everything in its path politically, economically, judicially, and spiritually. There is no liberty of religion in Muslim countries period you ignorant person. Have you traveled to Saudi Arabia or Iran or Syria? How about the Sudan? If it is so peace-loving let me book you a trip to Pakistan, deal? I didn’t think so. You are in lala land where evil doesn’t exist and everything is love and peace.

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 3:05pmHand, I’ve answered your question several times, and the Koran addresses it as well. Hm, wonder if you’d believe George Bush? He said, “Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America.” He was talking about this crowd I guess.
I guess you don’t believe in the teaching of Christ either, the guy who taught us to love our neighbor as well as our enemy. So if you don’t believe the Koran (or quote it out of context), actual Muslims, Bush or Christ, I don’t know what to say.
Sadly bigotry and hatred of the kind you proudly espouse do not lend themselves toward objectivity. If you remembered any world history from high school you’d know the cost in spilled blood across the world and across time from prejudice like yours (no, sorry, you’re not unique). One religious, ethnic or racial group decides another group is subhuman and deserves persecution and death. And the result of those beliefs is persecution, war and genocide.
Your kind have never improved the world hand. Hatred and bigotry are not a basis for solving conflicts.

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 4:10pm@ JZS….you have not answered my question !!!!!!! Would a Muslim be praised or condemned for killing an infidel? What is your thought of the mass murder of Christisans in Africa at the hands of Muslims and of the serial raping in Pakistan of women that are then jailed for adultery and immorality? What country is your dream Muslim country to live in? They are so peace-loving and tolerant of other faiths and beliefs. What country are just in love with that is Muslim? Answer directly PLEASE…..And I couldn’t give a flying fart what GWB said about Islam. I can’t personal stand him as a president. He also said he looked Putin in the eyes and believed him. Didn’t work out quite that way huh? And you can beat the drum of hatred and bigotry all you want it isn’t true so keep clanging there JZS. That is debating from a point of weakness. You are a dangerous person and I have been right all along. You are Googeling your replies, you have no clue what the Qu’ran or hadith or the 4 schools teach. You are a single white relatively young female with no children who will not condemn murdering and raping. You want answer a simple question with a direct answer because you know the answer is that they would be praised for killing an infidel. You won’t stand against honor killings.

Posted on February 28, 2012 at 5:15pmHand, Coretta Scott King said “Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.” Having personally experienced the kind of bigotry marks your personality, she knew you and your kind. And she knew you weren’t trying to “help” people.
Hand I answered your question with the Koran, the Bible, various quotes etc. Except it appears you, who have never once spoken to a Muslim about religion, know what all two billion of them believe, and come up with a different answer, one more suited to your prejudice and hatred.
Sadly, you and your fellow bigots, those who demonize entire groups of people, have never done the world any good. Yes, I see you have listed more reasons for your hatred, but we all seen that same list before, against the Jews, blacks, Mexicans, Catholics and so on. It’s a copy and paste.

Now you’ve switched your argument to claim you are standing up for Muslim women. Sure you are! Republicans are constantly standing up for women’s rights. Still Hand, you know the women want to kill you just as much as the men, because they are Muslim too. Watch your back! Did you know there may be actual Muslims in your town?
While you’re spreading the word of hate about Muslims in order to save their women, perhaps you can revile other groups too, to make the world better. I have an idea, why don’t you spread hatred about all those Christians who are defacing and burning Mosques in the US, and the Christians who are murdering Muslims overseas.

Posted on February 27, 2012 at 1:54pm@ ZORO51- According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Islam is the world’s fastest-growing religion by number of conversions each year: Although the religion began in Arabia, by 2002 80% of all believers in Islam lived outside the Arab world. In the period 1990-2000, approximately 12.5 million more people converted to Islam than to Christianity. This was again shown in the 2005, 50th anniversary of Guinness Book of World Records, although the number of conversions was not mentioned this time.
In 1990, 935 million people were Muslims and this figure had risen to around 1.2 billion by the year 2000, meaning that around this time one in five people were followers of Islam. According to the BBC, a comprehensive American study concluded in 2009 the number stood at 1 in 4 with 60% of Muslims spread all over the Asian continent: A report from an American think-tank has estimated 1.57 billion Muslims populate the world – with 60% in Asia. The report was done by the Pew Forum Research Centre. The forum also projected that in 2010 out of the total number of Muslims in the world 62.1% will live in Asia.

There should therefore be a fort, as big as the infamous Area 51, where we have a secure storage for all the Qurans that have been seized for security reasons.

I hope that there have been hundreds of secret Quran burning, millions of Bible burning and so on. If the Bible ever gets used in such a manner, I have no problem with it, even a million of them being burnt.
