International Protests Begin Ahead of Sept. 11 Koran Burning Event in Florida
Source: Fox News
International protests have begun -- with some demonstrators threatening jihad -- in advance of a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Koran on Sept. 11.
Roughly 100 Indonesian Islamists protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta on Friday, Agence France-Press reported, with some threatening holy war if the plan to burn Korans on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks comes to fruition at the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla.
-----
FBI, state and local law enforcement agencies are monitoring the threats of violence promised if the church follows through on the event, Gainesville Police Department Maj. Rick Hanna told the Gainesville Sun.
-----
Evan Kohlmann, who tracks radical militant websites for the New York-based firm Flashpoint Global Partners, told the Gainesville Sun a homicide bomber has threatened to drive a truck into the church. Others have discussed setting the building on fire, he said.

3. A "homicide bomber"?
I'd bet that isn't how the guy described him. Nobody in the world except fox news uses that term.
He's right.
We really should be more considerate of the feelings of people who strap explosives on to their bodies to kill other people in mass numbers.

7. Sure they have every "right" to do this... BUT,
shouldn't they be a little "sensitive" to others feelings? Isn't that what everyone is saying about the Muslim community center in New York? :nopity:
Stupid though this church may be (vis-a-vis the presumed mission of a church), I'll hazard a guess that they would not be engaging in this stunt were in not for the GZVM.

19. No.
That's what some people were saying about the "Islamic Cultural Center" cum mosque in NYC.
Of course, most progressives--the people most up in arms about the Quran burning--believed that the First Amendment right to build (if local zoning permitted) trumped any calls for respecting sensitivities.
At the time I pointed out that when it came to the Quran burning the positions were reversed--an asymmetry that shows quite neatly that it's not principle at stake but who the actors involved are.
Lousy freeper troll.

15. That would be *exactly* the wrong thing to do. The RW would say "See, told you so"
Have the Feds step in for a violation of a local fire ordinance? Substitute "American flags" for "Korans" and see how well
the idea sits with you...
Not that are any 'good' things to do in this. One set of pseudo-religious dickheads are bound and determined to piss off
a second set of pseudo-religious dickheads, who will take out their ire on innocent third parties.
Where did all these freeper trolls come from?
ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

17. IMHO the local FD should just be standing by with hoses connected
And as soon as the fire is lit turn them on. And just frog march them right there for violating local fire ordinances.
Okay then. So the next time you commie cum guzzlers light an American flag on fire in protest we know what to do.

14. That is their goal
They want a holy war with Islam as much as the radical Muslims what a holy war with Christians. Moderate religious people and Atheists like me are caught in the middle of the psychopaths.
And UBLs declaration of war against us throughout the decades doesn't already count?

16. Even if these idiots burn Korans....
they won't have caused any attack, should one occur. These idiots burning Korans harms no one. The idiots that use violence because they are offended are the ones that cause an attack.
****ING FREEPERS WTF!!!!
