Egypt Condemns Guards for Quran Incidents By SARAH EL DEEB, Associated Press Writer
Sun Jun 5, 7:05 PM ET

CAIRO, Egypt - Egypt's Foreign Minister on Sunday condemned U.S. military guards and interrogators who desecrated the Quran at the military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay and said those responsible should be held accountable.

Egyptian officials informed their American counterparts of their position, Ahmed Aboul Gheit told Parliament, but he didn't say at what level. Egypt has been a key U.S. ally in the war on terror.

A Pentagon report Friday confirmed incidents of desecration of Islam's holy book at the detention center for terrorist suspects, calling them relatively minor problems.

"We denounce in the strongest possible terms what the Pentagon confirmed about the desecration of the Quran," Aboul Gheit said during his first meeting with lawmakers since taking office last July. "We condemn whoever did this and we expect that they be held to account."

1. Maybe there is a "curse" for Quran desecration?

If so, may those who are truly guilty be forever repentant whilst rotting in hell for eternity for their sins.

2. Didn't the Egyptians get the memo?

It was just a little urine blowing through a ventilator duct, as will happen now and again.

3. Right! Reminds me of those unfortunate incidents in the 1940's...

...when the Germans stopped their healthful country hikes to let their Jewish guests have a potty break. And all their machine guns accidentally went off at the same time.
