I already know what is being predicted if Pastor Jones & Co. exercise their Constitutional rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion and burn the qurans in Florida: worldwide riots by 'disgruntled yutes', cars being set on fire, embassies attacked, burned, destroyed by those fervent members of "The Religion of Peace". Right.
But what will be the consequences of Jones backing down, as Sarah Palin has asked on her Facebook page? Will that be the end of America's Freedom of Speech? Freedom of Religion? Will ANY dissent of Muslim/Islam be allowed (distasteful as we might find that dissent)? Will the Muslims be 'emboldened' to further control the U.S. gubmint from the CIC on down? Will we all be required to live by Sharia law then, having everything we do approved of or dictated by a select few in control of this country?
What will happen if we ALL just 'back down' for political correctness expediency? Will the Muslim world love us and our friend Israel if we do? Will they lose their rage against the infidels issues? Will the world be a better place if Pastor Jones does not burn those qurans?
I think he will
Shoot, forgot to add VANITY to the title. These are my own opinions, not from any articles or stories.
Maybe he could make everyone happy by burning a copy of t he Obamacare bill instead.
:>}
If we back down, we will have told the Mussies that we are indeed cowards and are afraid of them. Appeasing them is NOT the solution.
The Genie is out of the bottle.
Our idiotic President made this an international story, and because of it, he put the troops in even greater harm than they already find themselves.
IF HE DOESN’T DO IT, SOMEONE ELSE WILL.
Don’t ever tell an American he CAN’T do something...
Exactly...along with the Media of course who are just following his agenda of creating unrest... Rush said the Pastor may speak with Obama today...he has asked to do so....will be interesting if he takes the call.
If he backs down, the media will play it for a few days, along with any imagined act of jihadiphobia that they can dig up, then drop it.
If he actually does it, then it’s “America is a jihadiphobic nation” for the next 25 years and all the daily everyday acts of violence done by the death cult will be blamed on the book burning.
For the record - don’t burn the book.
and what about the guy at the Discovery Channel ??
Nothing that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
Islam will be an anti-American death cult if he does, and Islam will be an anti-American death cult if he doesn’t.
I think that is why he has scheduled for 6pm to 9pm EST...
The Ugly muslims will riot in Europe, then he won’t burn the quran and say “I made my point! They PROVED they are evil!”
Also because he doesn't want to conflict with the Florida Gator game going on earlier in the afternoon in G'Ville.
All these objections by the US President, the US media, the US military, US corporations (insurance companies, etc), and US local government to some American insulting Islam sets another precedent!
This sets a precedent that nobody in America is to disparage Islam or Muslims in any way that the Muslims perceive to be insulting of Muslims and Islam.
Such precedents open the door to Muslims and Islam being able to silence all future disparaging remarks about Muslims and Islam.
Such precedents open the door to Muslims and Islam being able to muster media and government defense of their practices such as subjugation of women, genital mutilation, honor killing, and rioting about cartoons.
Such precedents open the door to Muslims and Islam forcing the rest of us to submit to Islam!
We ARE in a war with Islam. Ignoring that fact is a result of profound ignorance of Islam and Muslim history and present practices.
As some of my LEO friends and associates have said to me regarding my keeping and bearing arms such as an AK47, Tec9, Mini-14, 18” LEO Riot Shotgun, Saturday Night Special pistols, an assortment of revolvers and semi-auto handguns, and long range hunting rifles.
“I may not agree with what you have, but I will defend your right to keep and bear those arms.”
same thing applies to the first amendment
“I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.”
I hope the Pastor pulls a bait and switch, and burns the American flag at the last second.
The all around consternation would be hilarious...
The pastor is NOT a kook, he is a Patriot.
It is getting world-wide attention BECAUSE it is the 1st shot across the Islamist face that the war against Islam is now ON and we Americans/Westerners mean to WIN.
Today we burn Korans - tomorrow we burn ....
Our troops are already in harms way but this action now puts ALL of us on the ramparts against Islam’s declared continued war against the West.
See this website to upgrade your knowledge on the matter http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/ with this banner line “At the siege of Vienna (September, 11) in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe. We are in a new phase of a very old war”.
