FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The opinion poll, conducted from February 29 to March 11, indicates that nearly 48.2 percent (4,279 people) of the 8,871 participants in the survey believe that burning of the Holy Qur’an will accelerate the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.
According to the poll, nearly 27.7 percent of the respondents (2,464 people) maintained that it will have no impact on the presence of invading US troops in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, 23.9 percent of those polled (2,128 individuals) stated that the public outrage will prompt the US to adopt a more violent approach against the Afghan population.
On February 20, US soldiers burned the copies of the Holy Qur’an and other Islamic texts at the US-run Bagram airbase, located 11 kilometers (7 miles) southeast of the city of Charikar in the northern province of Parwan.
The sacrilegious act by US forces sparked days of violent protests in Afghanistan, resulting in more than 30 deaths, including two high-ranking US military personnel killed in Afghanistan’s interior ministry.
Following the Qur’an desecration, US President Barack Obama conveyed a letter of apology to his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai, saying the incident was not intentional.
Observers believe that the desecration of the Holy Qur’an underscores the persisting insensitivity of US-led forces to the cultural and religious values and rituals in Afghanistan, over 10 years after they invaded the Asian nation to dethrone the Taliban from power.
Insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan despite the presence of some 130,000 US-led forces in the war-wracked country.
