Well, I guess the ‘burned alive man’ was right.

Pakistan mob burns man accused of desecrating Koran alive>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

DO you mean that the man died of grammatical incorrectness?

Do you mean “ Pakistani Mob Burns Alive Man Accused of Desecrating Koran”?

Obviously desecrating the Koran is far less of a crime than desecrating Grammar.

Christians do not burn anyone who disrespects the Bible.
Jews do not burn anyone who disrespects the Torah.
Buddhists do not burn anyone, period.
Hindus do not burn anyone who disrespects Vedas or Geeta.

Muslims are a different breed. Stoning, burning, beheading is the Muslim way. Why did they never get civilized?

And don't even ~think~ of desecrating Gramper.

(But seriously folks - Churchill was right. These are rabid feral beasts. It also remind me of Hawthorne - "The fiend in his own shape is less hideous than when he rages in the breast of man.")

"Buddhists do not burn anyone, period."

Short memory.

They burn themselves.

Islam: a death cult. Founded by the prophet MoHAMmed, pigs be upon him.

While our government which has been compromised tells the American people islam is a religion of peace, protects the rights of WOMEN (a big ubango election cry), loves and protects it’s CHILDREN, respects other religions, and works toward world peace. We the American public, not thru the media, the propaganda spewing from paid off politicians you voted for or the progressive talking points know the real story

I remember Pat Buchanan saying something to the effect: “while I don’t condone the killing, you have to understand that the Koran is a very sacred book in Islam”.

And he wonders why he never got anywhere in politics.
