About Those Slain U.N. Workers
From AOL News:
"They were killed when they were running out of the bunker," said Staffan de Mistura, the top U.N. envoy in Afghanistan, who recounted their harrowing deaths to reporters on Saturday evening. "One was pulled out alive because he pretended to be a Muslim."
[...]
When the killers forced themselves inside they saw Pavel Ershov, the mission chief who is fluent in Dari, one of two languages spoken in Afghanistan. They beat him, but stopped after he convinced them, in Dari, that he was a Muslim, de Mistura said.
[...]
President Hamid Karzai publicly condemned the March 20 Quran burning, leading some to blame him for triggering the protests. De Mistura, however, blamed the person who torched the holy book.
[...]
"Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of offending culture, religion or traditions," de Mistura said. "Those who entered our building were actually furiously angry about the issue about the Quran. There was nothing political there."...
Interesting words: "nothing political there." Is de Mistura equating Islam with politics? If so, he has admitted that Islam is both religion and politics, in other words, a geopolitical ideology.
And just how does de Mistura define "freedom of speech?" It's fine as long as it doesn't offend anyone? That way lies madness.
