I firmly believe that it is the duty of all civilized men and women to resist Islam. It is a war. THEY call it a war, they are willing to fight it as a war, and are quite obviously willing to kill and die for their beliefs.
However, I think this “Burn a Koran Day” stunt is about as smart as trying to get rid of a wasp nest by throwing rocks at it while naked. Wasps are dangerous pests, and they need to be controlled and eradicated whenever they show up, but there are a lot more intelligent and effective ways of doing it than that.
Not only am I bothered by this idea because it is ineffective, I know, not think, KNOW that Christian churches WORLDWIDE are going to be destroyed and innocent Christians are going to die because of it.
Doesn’t anyone remember the way the Muzzies went freako when the Pope quoted Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus? Two freako Jihadi wannabes retaliated by shooting innocent nuns in Egypt and Christians around the world suffered intense persecution because of what was a truthful and relatively non-controversial quote.
What do you think the spazzed-out lunatic fringe of Islam is going to do if/when the MSM flashes images of a burning Korans around the world?
Yes, they have the freedom to do this, but the insanity that is going to be unleashed because of it, worldwide, is just too high. It’s easy for Americans, who are relatively safe, to piously advance this “in your face” action, but I doubt very seriously that the pastors, priests, nuns and congregations in nations where Islam reigns, or where they have significant political power, are going to enjoy being the target of the inevitable result.
Wars need to be thought out and fought intelligently! This bonehead stunt is tactically stupid and strategically useless.
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.
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.
Doesn’t matter, the day has been canceled.
Wars are messy affairs and events sometimes spin out of control. Afghanistan-Iraq has been a long war. It’s amazing that the anti-Islamic impulse has been restrained this long.
Basically we have a militia taking a public relations potshot at the real enemy — Saudi inspired radical Islam. I have no problem with it. Petreaus & Clinton are wetting their pants over it. Shows weakness of the status quo position on this war.
