I agree that it is rediculous how so many westerners aren’t getting the point about how liberalism is helping Islam in being the enemy of the West. However, if one actually reads the Koran, Mein Kempf, etc., they get to hear the language of tyrants, and the kind of language that is used to justify helping such guys as Hitler, or a future Islamic Republic become established. Knowing the language these whackos use is precisely what counts. From reading such stuff as these works, chances are you’ll be able to read various conspiracy theorists out and recognize them worthy of dismissal early on. The nature of the language is a big factor.
I own and have read all the books you mention including the koran.
I disagree with you: the nutjobs in FL can and should burn away, if they feel that they really need to do so to get their message across.
What nobody has right to do is take and burn my copies. If I want to do so I can and should be able to burn them. That’s all.
You’re an idiot.
Burning them is such a waste. I’d rather use the damn things for target practice.
Read it, burn it.
You got the wrong man. His ultimate goal is an acomodation with the Taliban. (I guess limit them to 3 or 4 hundred torture sessions a month). I guess that is victory to him.
I bet you haven't read "The Turner Diaries". I read it to see what all the hoopla was, then tore it apart and ran it through my shredder when I was done. My guess is it's not too much different from the Koran, only from a skinhead neo-Nazi perspective instead of a Muslim Islamo-Nazi one.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
You are absolutely right, of course. In America, book burning is ALWAYS wrong. Insulting another’s religion is ALWAYS wrong. But, FR is full of nominal Americans who reserve the right to burn others’ books and condemn others’ religions. It is the nature of blogs that everyone thinks their opinion is equal. BS. You stand up for the right principles even when it goes against your ego needs.
They make great skeets.....PULL!!!
And you're obviously a Rhodes Scholar with your insightful response. Care to tell me how I'm an idiot, and we can argue from there?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
It’s online.
So, you think an American electorate who sent BHO the the whitehouse needs to read the koran?
Until then, he'll keep on using people for his own purposes. And, then, he'll use them some more by posing as a brave victim. Keep your hands on your wallets, folks.
I know somebody is just waiting to burn a Kindle with an e-book of the Koran.
Kinda misses the point though it does make a unique statement.
When our military becomes hobbled by an Islamic tutored President and his supporters and when its been proven without a doubt through history that Islam will not stop, will not turn away unless it meets a stronger more determined force then its totally up to US the American citizen.
We may be students, we may be unemployed, we may even be handicapped but for each and every one of us we can make a defiant statement that has truly reached Islam much more than a million man march.
We have struck them at their vulnerability, burning the Koran is as if we had kryptonite to their Superpowers.
A weakness, and its not too low to stoop or childish, they fear it, and we can be very brave in proceeding ahead with this regardless of who says its immature, of course its immature but most importantly it sent a message.
IMO its the general's comments that puts the troops in greater danger.
This should've stayed a local issue. He, or more likely his boss Obama, has made it a foreign policy issue.
I don’t think they would have sent him if they would have read it...
I am disturbed to hear from the United States Army on the issue about those 50 people in Florida burning the Quran, one because the military should not be addressing such a small, domestic, civilian demonstration and also because last year the United States Army was burning bibles.
Actually, the right to burn a book is part of free speech, which is an American right.
