Those words may seem harsh or cruel, but the fact is God's true word the "Holy Bible" is burned or destroyed every day in the Arab world and nobody takes a stand stop it. In the nations that have the sharia law Christianity is considered illegal and false. Now I do not condone burning the Koran or any other religious symbol, but if someone wants to do so, so be it. It is just a book! I find it hard to believe that so much fuss was created over a book.
The Muslims wanted this guy dead and America wanted him quiet. With all the turmoil over this pity nonsense the media had a field day. Look here is another reason to hate Christians. They gave the world what they wanted. Then we had Christian leaders stand and proclaim this guy is wrong and disavow him.
I don't know how they became leaders to speak on our behalf, but I know the whole mess was

The problems with the koran burning and the WTC Mosque
In all this argument of recent days, the most important fact of the matter has been obvious from the start, but is rarely spoken of by the media or the public.
Regarding the Florida koran burning, has anyone stepped back and listened to what people are saying in detail? The first thing a person will hear is how that Pastor has the Constitutional right to do what he is doing.
The next series of statements, however, are always the majority of statements made in these conversations, namely: It is the wrong thing to do, it is inciteful, it is a cult in Florida, muslims will hate us, it will endanger the troops, and, most importantly for this conversation: we are not at war against a religion, but extremists of that religion.
This is important because of the islamic world’s reaction to this Florida Pastor; namely, that the islamic world immediately protested the planned koran burning by condemning the entire country of the United States and marched and chanted promoting our deaths to cries of “DEATH TO AMERICA!”
The response by virtually all American politicians has been an apologetic tone, one where they immediately call for the koran burning to stop, observations that it IS inciteful and that the threats to Americans at home and American Troops abroad are not acceptable and that the safety of the American public are paramount in this case.
Their tone has been to cower in fear at these threats. Not one politician has stepped forward and exclaimed, “Islam is not being attacked by an entire country or an entire religion, Islam is only being attacked by a radical. Islam needs to remember we are not all against Islam and threats to our safety are wrong and inciteful and hate filled.”
Not one. They cower to the islamic world, refuse to hold them to the same standard of behavior as they insist from their own people, refuse to insist that the Pastor in Florida is an anomaly and that the United States is no threat to islam.
What they did was bow in submission to the sensitivities of the islamic world and deny the Florida Pastor his civil rights to speak out like an American.
The islamic world will not notice. They will riot anyways. It is identical to the cartoonists in Denmark. All it took was one cartoonist to make a cartoon of Muhammad and the entire islamic world was in the streets and threatening to kill anyone who makes a cartoon of Muhammad.
Theo Van Gogh made a movie about this islamic submission in Holland, and they killed him for making the movie.
The Florida Koran burning case is quite similar to the Ground Zero mosque case with some significant differences. In Florida, the Pastor must stop his koran burning or there will be violence across the globe, and in fact, even if he does stop, there will be violence across the globe due to him stating he wanted to burn korans. In New York City, the Imam who wants to build a mosque 2 blocks away from Ground Zero, he said on CNN that if we move the mosque or deny it’s construction, there will be violence across the globe.
In both cases, if we do not submit to islamic sensitivities, there will be violence across the globe, in fact, even if we do submit to islamic sensitivities, there will most likely be violence anyways due to the fact that we spoke of those things.
Free speech is threatened in Florida, and a new twist is happening in New York City, something that Israel has seen does not work, and that is LAND FOR PEACE.
The Ground Zero mosque is about LAND FOR PEACE. If we give islam the land to make a mosque, there will be peace. If we do not give islam the land, there will be violence.
Think this through people. In both of these cases, neither has anything to do with the original concerns people expressed. It is solely about whether we submit to islamic sensitivities or have violence.
It is about Islamic blackmail of the United States.

I hear that said all the time about building that 9/11 mosque -- that gigantic middle finger pointed at America. It is their right to build it; etc.
Such sanctimonious bs from the supporters of the triumphal mosque.
Let the holy Qu'ran be burned. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and rights are not for Muslims only!
Stepan12,
Great post.
Terrible, but accurate.
Islam is not a religion. It is a military/political organization. The Koran is its Mein Kampf. These books need to be read, not burned, in order to better understand the enemy.
Islam is not a religion. Get it?

Well put way of putting it all into context RB.
How about if we just take the sections from the Koran and Hadith where it says to kill/enslave/mistreat christians and jews. The whole 72 virgins thing, and just burn those after reading them aloud into the MSM cameras and soaking them in pig blood. The Koran is a hate manual for an ideology. We might as well burn Mein Kampf too since it sells well among the moose-limbs.
Muslims will use just about anything to make themselves out to be the victim. Playing the victim is their most powerful tool besides terrorism.
It’s about as holy as a Playboy.
