I agree, too. Frankly, I doubt the guy intends to burn the Koran. I think he’s just saying he will for exactly the effect he got. (Or if he does, he is a bit screwy). Moderate people like Sarah Palin will ask him not to. The whack jobs on the left and in the mosques will threaten him. Point made.

Agreed.

I am bothered by this story because I know, not think, KNOW that churches are going to be destroyed and innocent Christians are going to die around the world because of it.

Doesn’t anyone remember the way the Muzzies went freako when the Pope quoted Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus? What do you think they are going to do when the MSM flashes images of a burning Koran around the world?

Yes, they have the freedom to do this, but the level of insanity that is going to be unleashed because of it, worldwide, is just too high.

I agree...I mean, what is the point? What is accomplished by the stunt? It is just a stunt. So you throw down an insult, flip the bird in different way. If you just make someone angry to no effect, that isn’t the same as standing up for yourself, your religion and your way of life. It’s just tossing an insult at them. It’s irrelevant to the matter at hand.

I agree with her points -the one stated, and the one implied. Both premised in principle...

First -yes, it may be legal to burn the flag, burn a book, or build a mosque; HOWEVER, legality does not make something right...

Second, a response premised in fear of reprisal is nothing but surrender of one principle for political expedience... A principled response to the question must as well declare the building of the mosque wrong...

Sarah gets it -0zero remains clueless

Are you kidding? Try many.........It's too bad they are too ignorant to consider the number of American Muslims actually serving in our military, supporting our war against militant Islam.

And these are the same people who once praised Gen. Petraeus but now call him an idiot simply because he has genuine concern for the repercussions against his troops if this idiotic Koran burning takes place............

I thought "winning the hearts and minds" of the Iraqi's and Afghani's was the primary objective of the war against terrorism. The same war that all the Free Republic members supported.............

The publicized burning of THEIR Koran is certainly going to going to win their hearts and minds isn't it???????
