I can understand people not agreeing with the upcoming “Burn a Koran Day”. But the whole thing has really been blown out of proportion, and people need to stop acting like this is some world crisis. Two of the most recognized people who have spoken out against this day are General Petraeus, and Hillary Clinton. What I want to know is where was their outrage when the US Army burned Bibles?

So you are basically saying we are so worried about being hurt or killed that we will submit to any form of blackmail they or anybody else can dream up?
That’s what you are saying.
I suppose each of our interpretation of events depends on our knowledge of history, world events, contemporary history and common sense.
These two were not condemning the burning of books;
they were wringing their cowardly political hands at offending our enemy, in our own country, with all our so-called rights and freedoms.
so just how does one deal with Islam....?????
Lets’s cut thru the front of what they see as their religious cover...these men are calling for the death of America and it’s citizens....(infidels)...they are people with guns and ammo and such...and they are a politcal machine in our courts, government and communities. They are a people at war with the world until the world submits to Islam....
When they say the word Peace...it means there is no Peace apart from ISlam.....when they say they are a Peaceful people...It means they are Islamic and abide by the Koran and all it’s teachings. It does not mean they wissh for Peace amon themsleves and others but will permote it as such until the people are strong enough to fight.
Obviously YOU’RE not. And so nice of you to volunteer OTHER Christians around the world to take the consequences of your actions — or in this case, actions you approve of.
Hey, I am in Japan, and Japan probably has one of the lowest profiles worldwide as far as the “war on terror” goes, so I am pretty safe personally. What I see happening because of this is burned and destroyed churches, dead parents and raped children in Indonesia, Malaysia, Ethiopia and many other nations — but apparently that’s no skin off your nose.
Just what IS the supposed purpose of this “Koran Burning”? If it was to draw attention to the 9/11 atrocity, it has not only failed, it has actually become totally counterproductive because NOW attention is exclusively on the Koran burning and the the horror of 9/11 and the 3,000 dead has been effectively reduced to a historical footnote in the eyes of the rest of the world because of it.
As I said in my post above. Yes, fight Islam, but fight it INTELLIGENTLY.
There will still be a lot of Korans burned on 911, as it should be.
This crap happens every 700 years. You can set your watch by it.
The Brits used to say that Muslims were either under your boot or at your throats.
They burn, stone, and beat women. They murder proselytizers, homosexuals, and fornicators. They have been, and always will be, murderous insurgents. I'm with Cheney on this. We should have bombed a whole bunch of middle eastern countries on 9/12 and got it over with.
If he would have held out to the day of 9/11 and not burned it, and said it was all just to prove how Muslims react to our freedoms, it would have been a very good move.
“These two were not condemning the burning of books;
they were wringing their cowardly political hands at offending our enemy, in our own country, with all our so-called rights and freedoms.”
You’re right.
Generals George Patton, William T. Sherman, and Chesty Puller would gag listening to this cookie-pushing, soft-soap sad sack sob sister “ New Army” general —sure, he’s a smart guy, but smart by itself is nothing, and sure he cooked up some way for us to not lose, as opposed to actually win, which we could have done in a month if we had put the smack down. Groovy, man.....
BTW Notice how the libtards who dismissed him as General “Betray-us” are now invoking him as a voice of wisdom?
The reason why Christian communication is never to proselytize, is that the communication is never intended to make a person change their faith. By definition, there is no such thing as Christian proselytizing.
If somebody changes their faith on their own independent of anybody else, it isn’t Christianity they’ve changed to become.
Rather, God performs all the work in providing faith to a believer. An unbeliever can either choose to accept faith from God or reject it. The faith provided is the same faith as that of Christ Jesus. It is an obedience to God in what He provides.
The difference in those who come to Christ and those who consider any other system of thinking independent of God as an alternative ‘religious faith’, is that faith in Christ also is accompanied in this Church Age with an immediate regeneration of human spirit, the indwelling of God the Holy Spirit, and about 40 others things that are very real and discernible from never having received faith in Him.
Many believers don’t know what their spiritual gifts are, in part because they are likely to have slipped out of fellowship from any post salvation sin, and stopped growing, but instead have degenerated back to acting and thinking based upon their natural soulish thinking processes developed for a lifetime prior to their salvation.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Fallen angels oppose the delivery of Scripture, because immediately upon an unbelieving human receiving and understanding the Gospel, if they choose to exercise just a little more faith than absolutely no faith whatsoever in what God has provided in Christ on the Cross, they immediately become eternal spiritual beings who also have enormous more power and authority and impact upon the spiritual domain than their adversaries, through faith in Christ.
Those who are scarred by living by the flesh and in a worldly system, will be tempted to simply equate Christianity with any other counterfeit system of spirituality, and remain dedicated to worshiping Baal, although most do not even know the name. Those who seek to act independent of God, have already foisted their religion upon all others by their Baal worship, and most are too ignorant to even recognize it, because they are blind to it.
Doesn’t matter, the day has been canceled.
Because people soon find out about the evil of islam and the only way that the imams can keep them in the cult, is under threat of death.

As a matter of fact, Muslims believe that everyone is in fact born a Muslim, and people don’t convert, they “revert” to Islam.
Yep... they think mo rode a White Pegasus to the moon and brought back some moon rock. They think a lot of insane things... don’t they?

Certainly there is a story about one kind or the other...but I have no problem with Petraeous deciding to do this as you can bet he got something back in return for doing so on behalf of our troops. Furthermore he and are troops are on thier land...he will make decisions according to the climate there...we don’t have that view.
“An unbeliever can either choose to accept faith from God or reject it.”
This doesn’t make any sense, and I’m smelling a little bit of ‘election’ here.
Faith is a verb more than it is a noun. Belief, to have belief, is a choice you make. God works the way He does, but in the end, you have to choose God or reject Him.
I certainly agree that He provides the opportunities for accepting Him, but the biggest part of Christianity is most certainly all up to the one doing the believing.
Do I believe that once you’ve been saved, that the Holy Spirit indwells and He provides everything you need? You bet.
God, however, isn’t a rapist. You have to choose to love Him back.
Maybe we are saying the same thing. Faith, to me, is a verb, not a noun.
They will also imprison or execute whoever has them in their possession.
