Muslim organizations across the United States tell TMZ they are outraged by the disturbing footage which appears to show Marines urinating on the bodies of dead Taliban fighters.
"We are appalled by the video" ... a rep for the Muslim Public Affair Council tells us ... adding, "We ask Secretary of Defense Leon Penetta to reprimand these soldiers.
These soldiers don’t stand for what our nation and our army and armed
forces fight for on a daily basis."
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) had a similar opinion -- saying, "We condemn this apparent desecration of the dead as a violation of our
nation’s military regulations and of international laws of war
prohibiting such disgusting and immoral actions."
CAIR adds, "If verified as authentic, the video shows behavior that is totally
unbecoming of American military personnel and that could ultimately
endanger other soldiers and civilians."
TMZ broke the story ... the U.S. Marine Corps is conducting an investigation into the footage to find out when the video was shot, where it was shot and if the men are indeed U.S. Marines.

Let the muslims know there are a few people here in the US that are upset about 9/11. We are almost even.
Boo hoo muzzies.
Stop chopping heads, stoning your women, dad's murdering their daughters, brothers killing their sisters all in the name of religion. Local communities live in dread and fear from the Talibans.. Only TMZ would want to now call out the military over this.
or is Evan's undies in a knot again?
Oh sure, let's all worry about what the Muslims think. Not right but 9-11 waasn't right either.
hmm these boys are going to be in trouble....better to pee in the shower like george costanza
THEY SHOULD OF DROPPED A FRESH "HOT" TURD ON EACH ONE OF THOSE COWARDS FACES...
I think the first paragraph says it all. The Marines urinated on dead Taliban soldiers who just happen to be Muslims. I don't think the Marines gave a damn about what faith the Taliban are - they were urinating on a nasty enemy. They should have been more careful about the video though.
Why can they keep this kind of pics or video in the dark? It only make us look bad in the eyes of others. TMZ or other news didnt have to plaster it everywhere. I pee on the tiliban too if i have a chance and those muslims who live here on U.S but hate us.
What aren't Muslim groups furious over?
Resentment and Envy are part of their DNA.
It's funny how the muslim groups will all be up in arms over something like this, but you rarely ever hear them condemn terrorism.
It was incredibly stupid to video tape the soldiers urinating on those dead bodies and then upload it to youtube, but at the same time I don't really care one way or the other that it actually occurred.
Who gives a fu*k if a few dead brown people get pissed on.
What do you think the taliban would do if they got thier hands on an American soldier(dead or alive)?
@Sharlie Cheen:
I promise you one thing mate, we don't 4get **** like this either. To any who find pleasure or humor in these things, your minds and souls are warped beyond hope of repair. To all those animals, you'll get what's coming to you. 9/11? Don't make me laugh you disgusting piece of ****, 9/11 was nothing in comparison to all that's happened. Nothing about this is even ****.
remember you boneheads,,there are a lot more muslims than us so we better learn to live with them..or u just might find yourself walking to work and paying 10.00 a gallon..every time these crazy people get upset the price of gas goes up.
Nice work, TMZ. It's kind of a surprising to see actual news covered here.
Right, because it's only justified when they are the ones committing some foul, dehumanizing act.
