Recalling Abu Ghraib, Marines Video Damages America's Image | |
By Daniel Scheschkewitz |
The ostentatious desecration of dead Taliban fighters in Afghanistan is a bitter setback for US efforts to improve its tarnished image in the world. It is a slap in the face for President Barack Obama, whose first term in office has been marked by serious attempts to build bridges with Islam. It is also fodder for those forces which doubt the West's operations in Afghanistan are about human rights. The desecration of a body not only violates the Geneva Convention but all codes of civil behavior, regardless of culture or religion. -- Daniel Scheschkewitz http://www.newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamIslamAndWest_1.aspx?ArticleID=6375 |
