” Burning the Qur’an (to me, at least) isn’t nearly as offensive as trampling on the United States Constitution. The Qur’an calls for the subjugation or death of American citizens; the Constitution demands our protection, even from our own government. The Qur’an severely limits the rights of women, Christians, Jews, etc.; the Constitution enshrines equal rights for all citizens. The Qur’an has been a constant retrograde force calling people back to the ideals and attitudes of seventh-century Arabia; the Constitution has brought progress both to the United States, and to nations who have imitated us. Strangely, many U.S. politicians (not to mention judges) now find it more prudent to honor the Qur’an than to honor the Constitution.

And here’s what’s happening. If Muslims weren’t murdering so many people in Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and Somalia, and Nigeria, and Sudan, and Europe, and . . . well, you get the picture; and if Western governments weren’t behaving in such a cowardly fashion, the world would never have heard of Pastor Terry Jones or Ann Barnhardt. People like Jones and Barnhardt are standing up to condemn Islam’s violent teachings because they’re sick of Western leaders bowing to Islam. So the next time you’re wondering why there’s so much “Islamophobia” (where “Islamophobia” simply means “Constitutionally protected criticism of Islam’s most horrendous teachings”), look no further than people like Senator Lindsey Graham.”

Exactly.

The Islamic world is full of nutjobs that need very little excuse to go on on murderous rampages and this idiot provides them a gift wrapped excuse so that our allies are murdered and our troops are put in danger.

Do you really believe that the Taliban relly care if this idiot burns a Koran?

No. They welcome it because it serves their purposes just like the burning of the Reichstag served the Nazis.

The Koran was written when there was an America?
