Republicans Only Like The Bible

After discovering that Koran's were burned at the U.S. Baghram airbase in Afghanistan ISAF and President Obama issued apologies over the incident saying that there would be a full investigation. Obviously Newt Gingrich Republican candidate for U.S. President proved just how intolerant, obtuse and racist he is by issuing this statement about what happened in Afghanistan. This isn't the first time for Gingrich to issue such a statement. In December of last year he stated that the Palestinian people were a made up people which just completely dehumanizes them. 

Gingrich lashed out at President Barack Obama for the formal apology after copies of the Muslim holy book were found burned in a garbage pit on a U.S. air field earlier in the week
Obama's apology was announced Thursday morning. A few hours later, news organizations reported that an Afghan soldier had killed two U.S. troops and wounded others in retaliation for the Quran burning.
Campaigning in Washington state, Gingrich said Afghan President Hamid Karzi owes the U.S. an apology for the shootings.
"There seems to be nothing that radical Islamists can do to get Barack Obama's attention in a negative way and he is consistently apologizing to people who do not deserve the apology of the president of the United States period," Gingrich said.
"And, candidly, if Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, doesn't feel like apologizing then we should say good bye and good luck, we don't need to be here risking our lives and wasting our money on somebody who doesn't care."

It's just amazing that the First Amendment  to the U.S. Constitution clearly establishes that religion shall have no place in American politics yet Republican candidates for the U.S. Presidency insist that the United States is a Christian nation when it clearly is not.
