Not. Gonna. Happen.

KABUL (Reuters) — Afghans will never accept US justice for five American soldiers involved in burning copies of the Koran, and could rise up in a “storm of fury” if there is no public trial, a senior cleric said on Saturday.

The burning of Korans at a NATO air base has incensed the Muslim nation and sparked protests, complicating efforts by the United States to forge a long-term security pact with Afghanistan ahead of an end-2014 foreign combat troop pullout.

“The military leaders who ordered the burning and the offenders should both be tried and punished. . . This evil crime has been done inside Afghanistan so the punishment must be according to the country’s law [Sharia is Afghanistan’s sole source of law],” Qazi Nazir Ahmad Hanafi, head of an Afghan group comprising clerics and parliamentarians investigating the incident, told Reuters.
