Koran

[Revolution]

^ Just to let you know, I'm not arguing against the freedom of speech aspect, and I could give a shit less about angering Muslims. I just think as a country, we are better than a demonstration such as this.

As a counterdemonstration to a Florida pastor's plans to burn copies of the Quran on Saturday, Father Jim Murphy of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Portage said he'll host an educational gathering about the Muslim holy book on Friday.

Son of a bitch!!

I don't see why anyone has to counter this pastor in Florida. People can take the opinions they want to take, but Jeez! Why the heck do we have to open up the Koran, and read from it just because some guy decides he's going to burn it a couple thousand miles south of us?!

 

Who wants to bet that while the Pastor got national attention, this won't...

I don't support this, but bias of the media is rampant.

If we are serious about not allowing the Muslim "faith" to take over the world, then we have to pray that we act in God's will.  But we also have to act with courage, not the quaking fear exhibited by the left.  Most that object to this act of free speech have far less problem with a similar act committed against any object sacred to Christians, or even to our entire country.  This isn't an expression of tolerance toward the Muslim beliefs...this is an expression of fear.  If we anger them, they'll kill us.  OK...and if we don't anger them, they'll rule us.  Better dead.  Anyone that would sacrifice their freedom of speech, or the American freedom of speech, in fear, deserves to become a slave.

Exactly !!!

I think burning Korans is silly. What point, exactly, are you making?

I think it's an asshole move. It makes the members of that church no better than those animals who burn American flags, or effigies, or crosses for that matter. It's a pointless, attention-whore move.

In all honesty, I just want to piss off the liberals.

I think it's just a start in the fight against Muslims. They are embarrassed by what they believe in. That's why all the blasphemy laws in Muslim countries. That's why they demand we bow to their demands for respect. All you have to do is read a passage from the Koran or tell the recorded truth about the prophet Moo-hammed and they're rioting in the streets.

I think the only way to defeat Islam and Muslims is just tell the truth about their religion, reticule it and their prophet, make fun of them and they will do something we militarily can't do, destroy themselves..

It's completely legal, however it's also childish, petulant, has absolutely no potential to accomplish anything positive for anyone beyond reverend fur-face himself.  It will go a long way to undoing ten years of our blood and effort in SW Asia trying to show Muslims around the world that we stand for doing the right thing.  As a whole, Muslims around the world will not make a distinction between one hillbilly's actions vs. our whole country any better than most of our citizens do when the shoe is on the other foot.

Exactly!! 

Honestly, I could GAF what this pastor does. He has every LEGAL right to do it (except I guess from the Fire Marshall). Again, I ask, is it morally right? We've always been taught that two wrongs don't make it right. I don't like Islam. Christianity has it's skeletons in its closet, too. I suppose I should just say that I don't like or trust "organized religion".

 People that don't THINK that this action will inflame the idiots in the Middle East, they'd better think again. There are already protests and borderline riots over this. BUT......... that does prove that Muslims aren't as "tolerant" & "peaceful" as they'd like everybody to believe. The biggest thing, IMO, is that Muslims, worldwide, need to become VERY vocal about stomping out radical Islam. There have been some rumblings, but it's not widespread enough at the moment to really mean anything.

Couldn't say it any better myself.  Ditto.

This shitbird is no different than Phelps...attention whoring, nothing more.

What rumblings? Muslims ARE Islam. Islam IS radical. The reason the  that those that are not total whack jobs don't speak out is they will be killed too, how do you deal with a "religion" like that?

[Tucker]

Interesting article, perhaps a strawman, but still interesting:

U.S. military burned unsolicited Bibles sent to Afghanistan

[whiffleball]

Now that he's started it he should go through with it. 

As for the 'we might anger them' reasoning - what else is new?  They're angry period.  Honestly, I don't see how this childish act can inflame Muslims any more than they are naturally.

Muslims want the rest of the world either dead or submissive to Islam.  There's no middle ground with them.

[Godot showed up]

I think we'll see an increase in the number of attacks against Christians in Muslim countries, if an increase is possible, that is.

Which proves--as their recent burning of American flags proves, and the need for an Interpol alert proves--that Terry Jones is 100% correct about Islam. An unhappy thing for those victims of Islamic intolerance and violence, but this is the plain truth.

[Taxman]

Radical muslims hate us and would love to destroy our way of life and impose theirs on us.  Given that they hate us anyway, now will they really, really hate us? 

The amusing thing I note in all of this is the duplicity of the MSM.  Were this a burning of Bibles, the MSM would be ho-hum, Barry Obummer would not be taking a stand on it and it would be a non-story. 

From a personal viewpoint, I am against the "preacher" burning the Korans however,  I also view the Ground Zero Mosque as a provocation. 

Appeasement never works with Muslims, Democrats or Libtards. 

[AllosaursRus]

I say no and here's why: 1.) It will just inflame an already homicidal society and potentially cause harm to our troops; 2.) I don't advocate burning the flag or the Bible (or the Torah), either.

Is it illegal to do any of the above?? No. Is it the right thing to do?? Again, no.

Exactly! Don't burn my Flag, don't burn my Bible, and if I stick to the same values, don't burn their Koran.

Nuff said.......

[Duke Nukum]

Apparently the GZ mosque builders and the Koran burners have come to an agreement:

Quran burning canceled; mosque near Ground Zero to move?

I have to admit, if I could lose my head to some nutball in my church because of my adverse opinion, I may not say anything either. Numbers is what they need. Unfortunately, the Muslim faith is such, that you have no idea whether your buddy is a radical or a moderate.

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then , I think the mosque moving is just a ruse to get the Koran burning stopped.

I'd like to point out they are also threatening reprisals if they don't build it!

Bring it on Muzzies, bring it on!

Take a look at what happened to your last martyr. He may not be dead, ( a fact not yet proven, BTW ), but he sure as hell can't walk around in the free world!

Don't know about everyone else, but I don't like having to squat in the bushes to take a crap!

Hey, they're only buying them to keep them off the streets and out of the hands of those evil christians, you know.
