Revenge fears for U.S. troops as Koran is burned (U.S. troops don't fear Muslim rioters)

Fears were growing last night that American troops could suffer revenge attacks after protesters burned the Koran.

On a third day of riots in Afghanistan, Muslims said they would attack 'foreign bases' in their thousands in response to the desecration of their holy book.

Hopes of calm were shattered on Saturday when the Koran was burned in the U.S. on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Though Florida preacher Terry Jones had cancelled his plan to burn the Islamic holy book, a lone protester at the Ground Zero site set several pages on fire, while in Nashville, Tennessee, two religious leaders held a private Koran-burning ceremony.

Went to Barnes and Noble to pick up a Koran for my next yard waste burning, but they’re sold out.

Of course our troops don’t fear them. Heck, Petreaus doesn’t have the balls to do it, but a good strategy would be to announce that US troops are going to burn 10,000 copies of the Koran at a fixed time and place. Wait for the extremists to attack to prevent it, and take them out. You don’t even need the actual copies of the Koran. Just tell them you have em.

So like, when the muslims come to attack our troups out of retaliation, will Obama order them not to defend themselves so they don't offend Islam?

Is America so weak under the Kenyan fraud
that our troops are threatened by this?

Have the ROE been so weakened by Imam Obama
that America must fear this, too?

The Koran? That's an inflammatory way for this paper to made that statement. Actually, someone burned a Koran, or more accurately, one of many millions of printed copies of the Koran.

Westerners are totally stupid to begin parroting the notion that every single copy of the Koran is some sacred object that must be honored and treated with kid gloves by every living human.

They are not sold out. They just pulled them from the shelves to keep people from getting them and burning them.

No I don't have any proof, but now that its been said do you really think that they wouldn't do that?

Just Sayin'.

I forgot about that.

Let’s say that again.

Now we've done it, now they want to kill us and destroy our way of life...not to mention the fact we're infidels.

Anything new?
