The good news: The lunatic minister in Florida has been persuaded (or threatened) into not burning the Koran. Book burning is despicable, cowardly and un-American. The bad news: Would anyone believe, in the days immediately following 9/11, there would come a time in this country, when radical, lunatic Muslims would dictate to the American people and its government, that certain forms of protest would not tolerated- and the President of the United States, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and an American general would meekly acquiesce? Damn it, the AP said it wouldn't broadcast photos, audio or even a description of the Koran burning. Even FOX News backed down. Has the world gone mad?

Islam comes off as a spoiled little boy who always gets to have his way with this latest public spectacle. The fact is, we are allied with Muslims in our current wars as much as we are fighting them. Its not good political or strategic sense to piss off our allies in order to insult our enemies, who in fact, are both muslim.
That said, we should discipline the spoiled little boy and demand that he grow up and give respect if wants to get it. That means move the gz mosque and stop defiling christian and jewish symbols and literature. And that also goes for the spoiled little boy’s bratty psychotic sister, the american left.
The government has no excuse, but the media has legitimate reasons to be afraid of Islamic extremists. They know the authorities aren’t interested in defending them.
Burning them is the way Muslims dispose of their Korans, so I doubt it would offend the vast majority of Muslims.
no, the world is a rock.
a lot of the people who live on it however have been blooming insane for many consecutive milena.
that was easy, any other profound questions you need answered..?
You have captured my thinking on this extremely well. While I think the koran burning would have caused headaches we don't need, still I bristle at the idea that a bunch of primitive ignorant savages can tell Americans what to do. And even more, being backed up by pusillanimous and spineless public whores.
I heard a local talk show host today play Petreaus's propitiatory comments and then the speech by George Patton( which he really gave) that was presented in the movie.
He had spoken before about his own father serving under Patton, so I believe him when he said what his father told him after hearing a speech from Patton: the troops would have gone into battle without weapons. That's American leadership.
We don't have a dog in the white house, we have dog crap. Same-same at State and Defense and the rest of the quagmire known as DC.
Here’s some good news:

Your post makes no sense. This kook pastor had every right to burn his own Korans if he bought them.
Comparing this to government imposed book burning is ridiculous and has no merit.
Either you are for our Constitutional rights or you are not.
It is that easy.
where can i get a copy of koran i can at least trow it in the trash can
well,i respect your opinion, but i long for that draft-dodger bill clinton any day over this marxist. After all we elected a lot of characters over the years but no one like Barack Hussein Obama
yes, you are correct do they typically sell those in book stores like barnes and noble
Wow, there are a lot of youtube videos of this. And they didn't just appear in the past few days -- one dates back three years to 2007-12-12:

There has been much speculation that Google would pull down these videos, but these have been up for years.
I agree with you 1000%
No, it’s been this way since “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World” was released.
That has long been the fly in the ointment of trying to declare Muslims (as distinguished from the religion/philosophy called Islam) a blanket enemy. There might not be such a thing as moderate or liberal Islam, but there definitely exist large populations of moderate (and liberal) Muslims, and they hate the Taliban and its ilk almost as much as we do. At the same time, lots of supposedly moderate Muslims act like they don’t really care that they are stoking fires of non-moderate Islam in the West.
When our liberal media friends report on this stuff at all, they only tar it with the label “conservative” as though the Taliban and Ronald Reagan were kissing cousins.
