yeah, I’m not multitasking well tonight. it’s getting hot in here all of a sudden.
You got death threats?
I wonder if someone posted a picture / video is equally responsible as the original burner to Muslims?
This would be similar to the newspapers that printed the Danish cartoon. Where are the ACLU and other free speech advocates from the left on this one?
I don’t know. I just wish there was an edit function around here.
Burning a Koran just isn’t as much fun as these blokes had...

If you want an army of hackers, I suggest 4chan
I’ll post it on You Tube again and again and have my friends do the same. We all downloaded it. :P
I went there once. It took about a week to forget about the experience.
And you start to hit reply, but then you think, why bother? You try to explain to them that having a bible in a Muslim country can be a death sentence, that if I handed that person a bible on the street in front of everyone, I would probably be put on trial, with the penalty being death in Afghanistan.
You can't burn a bible, if it's not legal to get one. Which is completely ironic, since the Quran is supposedly in addition to the bible. Moses was a prophet, Jesus was a prophet, Mohamed is a profit too!
Honestly, the most telling thing? How many people have cameras pointed at this guy breaking air quality regulations for burning a Quran without getting a burn permit... More seriously, it demonstrates just how idiotic the Muslim people have become, how villainous the acts, that the simple act of burning a book gathers so much attention, because it is quite possible that they will act to kill him, or someone else.
The Koran, The Koran, The Koran is on fire!... We don’t need no water let the &#^#* burn. Burn &#$(# Burn !
I see burning a quran as a button that we can push to illicit a predictable response from a group of people that we are at war with. The only question is, how can pushing that button be made to serve us? I think if it incites hatred and violence against the west, it ultimately serves us as it undermines their own efforts to undermine our societies by increasing the friction between our societies. That being said, let’s push that button and find others to push as well.
listening to Glenn Beck denouncing it right now. He has to I realize but he should let it go. He’s wrong on this one.
You Tube did not get this one yet. Guy puts it in BBQ to burn it. Interesting the bible burning vids stay up in great numbers. Warning. Video contains bad language

Aside from sending a powerful message to Islam that Sharia is not going to happen on OUR watch, one hugely important way it serves us is as a strong booster of morale. I don't know about you, but on 9-11 -- one of the most significant dates in American history -- when I saw the videos of Korans being burned or blown up or chewed up by dogs or any of the other wonderfully creative ways I saw Korans desecrated in You Tube clips, it REALLY boosted my morale because it shows me how MUCH COMPANY I have in my sentiments here.
I bet that MANY Americans who thought burning Korans was A RIGHT, PEACEFUL, and CORRECT way to send a powerful message to Islam but who remain ignorant of just how much Koran burning went on this past Saturday would be heartened as well. But as it has gone hugely underreported in the MSM, their morale remains depressed, and they are subject to the illusion that they're in the minority. The reality: they're in the majority. Check out the comments on American Spectator to an opinion piece spouting the standard "but it's just so uncivil!" line to discourage Koran burning. The vast majority of readers weren't buying it one little bit. That surprised me very much, but more than that, it BOOSTED MY MORALE. It gave me hope for America.
The standard line among politicians and pundits of both parties is, "Well, maybe it's legal to burn a Koran and I'll defend your right to do it, but it's so uncivil, and just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. It's against the Golden Rule." There are even hystical types who say that burning Korans is stooping to the same barbaric level of Muslims.
My answer: Burning Korans on American soil, in particular doing it on Sept. 11, is most certainly civil. It is a potent peaceful, lawful, and symbolic protest and demonstration of the resolve of everyday Americans that Islam's aggression in America will be met with resistance. As for the Christian commands to love thy enemy and to do unto others as you would have them do unto you -- that's EXACTLY what burning Korans is doing: I'd have Muslims who hate the "infidel" and Americans burn fabric and paper, in the form of flags and bibles, to protest my faith, my freedom, and my country. Instead, they burn or saw the heads off of living people; they fly full passenger planes into occupied office towers; they suicide-bomb ordinary people in public places. When I chose to burn a mere bunch of paper in the form of a Koran instead of burning a real live Muslim, I am doing unto them as I would have them do unto me, and I am also demonstrating love for my enemy with that choice.
And only the most piously deluded could say such a peaceful, lawful, and symbolic gesture was equivalent to the bloodshed and barbarism demonstrated by Muslims the world over.
It also incites hatred and violence within their society which causes them to make irrational decisions which undermines their creeping sharia methodology. It is also stimulates a predictable response which is always a good thing.
That demonstration has begun with Koran burning. And no matter how distasteful it is, is also CIVIL and a symbolic way of saying: "We're burning paper now, but if you don't stand down, we'll have to start burning you. Maybe they rolled over for you in England and France, but we will stand against you here. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE."
