For any Muslim who believes the sacredness of the Quran as God's final revelation to humanity, that very same Quran condemns and rejects such anarchy in many of her verses and teachings.
All you have to do is go back to George W. Bush's presidency to see that -- gasp! -- presidents apologize all the time when America does something wrong, or stupid, or both.
What's happening in Afghanistan this week really hits home. Every time I see the headline "Deadliest Day in Quran Protests," all that dormant fear re-surfaces and I can barely swallow.
