Here are just a few:
"The Holy Koran is sacred, just like the Bible is to Christians," Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi, director of community outreach for the Islamic Society of North America, said in an interview. "Desecration of this book is something people will not tolerate."
"Hardball" host Chris Matthews, who called Jones' plans to burn the Islamic holy book "a terrible idea" and warned that it "could cause trouble and even death" when televised in Muslim countries, asked, "What do you think the reaction will be as this goes on international television? What will be the consequence?"
"It's obviously intolerant they're doing it precisely to offend those practicing Muslims," said John Erdevig of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The most chilling reaction is in this video report from AsianCoorespondent.com at 0:51 mark: "If this happens, the first reaction that will follow is that wherver Americans are seen, on matter where they are in the world.....they will be killed!"

Good. A bit slow but still within acceptable limits.
good to know.
You missed a capital letter there.
Here's a question for you to ponder:
How do you feel about blogpimps using FR as a free business platform
in order to cause folks to "pay" them a blog hit for the privilege
of viewing a video the blogpimp had nothing to do with?
Answer that one honestly and rethink your position.
Thanks!
If this is the spark that gets this finally going, let’s do it. I personally won’t burn the koran, but I will fight for his right to do it.
Get used to it! The Muzzies have a huge population in your state.
Burn the damn piece of **** pornography.
If they don't like it, they can get all upset and murderous, as if that would be any different from the way they are now.
Obama’s chorus is out in full force I see. Suck up that ten minutes of hate, people!
What’s the constitution - a mere piece of paper - mean in the face of jihadist death threats. Our founders always warned us that they day might come when we would have to peacefully become slaves in order that the elite might have global rule and tolerance for beheading rulers.
No material item is “sacred” to Christians. They can burn all the books they want in retaliation.
For Islam, however, all their authority rests upon adherence to their demand for submission to the rules. Westerners burning the Korans, drawing pictures of Mohammad, and just generally disobeying their orders and rules of control, will weaken their religous authority. They only have control if we obey and that is the central weakness of Islam’s system of government. In truth, they don’t have the power to control the whole world unless the elite of every country gives them that legal power.
A lot of uppityness in Islam’s face from the Western people is in order if we want to upset the apple cart of Islam’s grip on a billion people. This is way the Indians sank all powerful imperalistic Britian...and the way Martin Luther King upset the unconstitutional racial order in the US. Freedom is worth pantsing Islam.
No material item is sacred to Christians.
I’m not sure that all branches of Christianity would agree with that. I’ve seen objects in reliquaries that many considered sacred. Generally, though, you are right about printed books.
As you said, it’s more about control than about sacredness. Nobody expects a turn-the-cheek Christian to go postal over a crucifix in urine. otoh, nobody would put a crucifix in urine if they thought so.
I like your analysis.
I used to think that this was just silly publicity stunt but after watching the reaction of the journalistic elites and of muslims around the world I’ve come to believe that it is in fact a necessary action.
The elites need to be humbled and shown that they don’t control the agenda anymore and muslims need to learn that all they accomplish by their violence and threats of violence is to provoke us.
As of now, my only objection to the event is the number of korans to be burned. It should be 2,792. One for every person murdered on September 11.
Right after the Murrah Building bombing, after they caught McVeigh, they also caught a middle eastern man who was suspect. They let him go, and lady news reporter was livid over this as she believed he was involved.
I belive it is very possible that McVeigh had the help of the muslims in OK, in that bombing. JMO
Probably run around in circles with our hands flapping in the air shouting, "Oh noes!" and bumping into each other.
everybody should threaten to burn a koran unless obama releases his long form birth certificate!
that’ll put barry in a pickle! and make him look like an idiot!
bump
Link please? /s
It’s a bunch a pieces of paper. It gets burned and thanks to Gutenberg, we print more.
More are printed on just plain ole’ paper, no holy man prayed over them and made them sacrosanct.
Light em’ if you got em’.
It’s good for the economy.
Oh, and to you muzzies... Get a life. A book is all you have?
Burning a book is all it takes to set you off?
My cat has diarrhea and I want to Jihad!
No, I don’t have a cat but, any excuse will do right?
Grow a real pair of balls. If your faith is so weak that burning a few pages out of symbol is all it takes to issue a fatwah then your faith really isn’t that strong.
Either that or your faith is as synthetic as your allah.
Wow.
After all these centuries of warring, bloodthirsty, hate-filled, predatorial Islam ... who would have ever guessed that their greatest weapon to conquer the world would end up being the sympathy and political correctness of their enemy.
Well, we would wait for snarky and uninformed post from intellectually fallow posters such as you.
You have no clue as to what this about and Jimmie is trying to turn a corner and become a better poster, making him relevant to other and attaining validation.
HG is famous and a legend “in his own mind”.
You, on the other hand, I have never heard from.
Til now.
I like your tag line.
