Hey, General Petraeus, OF COURSE it is, hateful, intolerant and extremely disrespectful, to burn the koran. Thats the point!
They want us to be cowed by their religion, forced to be told what we can or cant do, because of their death-cult religion. They have been extorting the world with their terror, because of that book!
Is it burning one book that is responsible for the innocent deaths of hundreds of thousands of muslims and infidels worldwide? OR, 26% of the muslims IN THIS COUNTRY who follow that book thinking suicide bombings are legitimate? OR, filthy pedophile following imams preaching from that book around the world calling for the death of infidels and the destruction of the state of Israel?
What year did he burn it? It seems they have been killing us, and bombing us, since before the patriot Pastor Jones was born did they know he would grow to know their heart and start preemptive killings?
Instead of standing up and saying:
"In a free society on one day you can have a legal KKK protest, another day a gay pride parade, another day a church can mount anti-gay protests at military funerals."
In a free society, you get to express your beliefs, and your neighbor, if he so pleases, can come out and protest. If muslims in America want to protest, they can band together and march, block streets, carry signs and shout slogans. Americans may disagree with them, but God help anyone trying to stop them from peacefully protesting! Both those that agree and disagree with them will come to their aide!
That is a representative democracy. We are free to insult and be insulted without resorting to violence.
The dialogue created at the protests, the civil discourse surrounding peaceful protests, leads to new ideas, new insights for people. Seeing the other side, and passionately debating your ideas, hones ones beliefs, and adds to ones life experiences. Freedom is a beautiful thing.
What the fanatics in your religion are doing by killing non-believers or anyone doing anything they disagree with, shows the civilized world you are not to be taken seriously, that you, and your cult of death religion, are not ready for integration, at the very least, and deserve annihilation as the logical result of your vicious, deranged actions.
We ARE hateful towards the actions and persons killing innocents and hiding behind that book! We ARE intolerant, only in that we will not tolerate your barbarity in the name of your religion any longer! We ARE extremely disrespectful of any cult stealing the life and freedom of people because they insult you!
We also ARE ready to help you advance to the 21st century or fight you in every corner of the world, until you retreat back to your seventh-century cesspool.
THAT is what Americas representatives should be saying
it certainly is what Americans are thinking!
Black Jack Pershing he ain’t.
It wouldn’t matter if it was burned or not.
Just saying it was burned would be enough to start the bast***s killing frenzy.
The whole idea of the first amendment was not to protect non-controversial speech that everybody agrees with.
Hello? Gen. Patraeus is the Commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan. He said what he had to say.
I am intolerant of a religion that demands I follow its rules when I am not a member.
Never cared for dry counties in Texas either.
You can't make this stuff up.
hateful, intolerant and extremely disrespectful,
I wonder what he thinks of be heading and killing is ?
explanation/circumstance behind the photo?
If some of the Fanatical Christian Protestants of Latin America start taking YOUTUBE pictures of their fiery preachers buring the Koran, what will they do?
Black Jack Pershing didn't have to to try to fight with the same stupid rules of engagement Petraeus is stuck with either.
I'd say loosen up the ROE an then we all fire up a Koran or two.
Well, I can't, but YOU can. We get closer and closer to your novels becoming reality every day. What's next after the dhimmitude of the US Armed Forces? Khazakh "peacekeepers" in Mississippi? Doesn't sound as much like fiction now.
There. Fixed it for you!
I lost all respect for Patreus as he is nothing but a wuss, PC, Pol, posing/pretending to be a Commander, who cares less about his troops, otherwise, he would NOT allow the ROE's to be enforced, which are responsible for needless casualties for our Troops.
Thank God he (and most of the pinheads in the Pentagon) were not around during WWII (and we had Eisenhowers and Pattons) or we'd all be speaking German/Japanese!
They are.
Do you really wonder what a General in the US military thinks of innocent people being beheaded? Or are you (more likely) am armchair hero?
Real men and women, with real sons and daughters, have died because of this. You really should look them in the eye and tell them you think its just fine their loved ones died so some attention seeking moron could have his 15 minutes of fame.
Those of us who joined the military did so because we wanted to protect and defend our country and way of life. The General has dedicated his life to that and doesn’t deserve to have his integrity questioned by someone because he’s trying to protect his troops and win a war.
The troops and other innocents have enough problems trying to stay alive while fighting neanderthals. They don’t need ignorant aholes stirring up the hornets and making it more likely they’ll die defending their country, while said aholes sit safely in their air-conditioned homes far from the danger.
If you really believe in your words, jump on a plane to the nearest muslim country, walk into the middle of a town, and set a koran on fire. After you do that, I’ll believe you really mean what you said. Until then, why don’t you do the real heroes a favor and stop trying to get them killed.
I know. That photo is amazing.
Now the USMC is being issued pro-gay-indoc showing male Marines kissing, to make the point that this MUST be tolerated.
Next time it could be because of something posted here on FR that sets them off.
Where did that policy of appeasing psychotic killers get the Jews?
The gas chambers, in the end.
And I'm assuming you DO know where the Nazis got the idea of forcing the Jews to wear the star of David, yes?
