Disposing of a defaced Koran is not defiling another's religion.Quote from cgroupman:
Santorum didn't look to good on Meet the Press today. Trying to defend the don't go to college statement. It's too bad, in a way, since I really think he meant that there are many ways to get a job in America, but it came off like he was pandering and against education, implying that it makes you liberal or something. Sort of like 'curing gay's' or whatever, hard to take. Hard to get by sounding like you're anit-education. His attempt to defile Obamba because of going to school, probably not a good thing overall.
And, to the OP. No one should defile another's religion. All religions are hanging on by mere faith to begin with. If anything they should support each other IMO.

Only a very ignorant people would think they were justified in killing people over the burning of a book.
It just illustrates the futility of any western attempts to civilize Afghanistan. We should have been out of there after the first week when the Taliban collapsed.
You aren't going to turn that area into a suburb of the USA with a 7/11 on each corner. It is the most backwards illiterate region on the earth outside of sub-sahara Africa.
Its time to leave them to their own filth and ignorance. We can return briefly and crush them again if they start spawning terrorist groups.
