Burned Qurans Left at Va. Muslim Center

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- A bag stuffed with burned Qurans was left in front of an Islamic center, shocking members when they arrived for prayers.

The torched copies of the Muslim holy book were inside a plastic shopping bag, members of the Islamic Center of Blacksburg said. They said the bag had been placed at the center's front door sometime before Saturday prayers.

"It is a shame that people are so ignorant," member Idris Adjerid said.

Kevin Foust, the agent in charge of the Roanoke FBI office, said Thursday his office is helping local police investigate. He declined to speculate whether the incident would be classified as a hate crime under state or federal law.

So what? So-called Christians put on hoods and march in Klan parades and rallies.

Another dodge, another tangent, another voice condoning anti-American sentiment. Sink, you must understand at some point that a person, any person, can not hate America and still be "an American" in the traditional sense of the word. It's illogical to the core.

It is pitiful that Tim McVeigh is the only example you can scrape up as a counterweight to 1 billion murdering savages.

All Muslims are "murdering savages"?

You've pegged the bigotry scale.

[hope]

Has it occurred to anyone that this may be the handy work of the masters of propaganda? The evil muslim extremist themselves...They are not above making it look as if they are a persecuted lot.

They remind me an awful lot, like an American liberal.

[sinkspur]

Where did I defend them?

Despising members of the Klan is "hating America"? Who are you? David Duke?

[processing please hold]

"What do you call "Christians" who belong to the Ku Klux Klan?"

Senator

LOLOLOLOl

ROTFLMFAO

"All Muslims are "murdering savages"?"

How about we just rephrase this? All Muslims believe in a cult begun by a murdering savage?

"This is a time for them to reflect on what they did to provoke such an action."

Now... That was a very assute statement. My sincerest compliments!!

[Publius6961]

We put him to death dumbass.

Indelicate, but eloquent!

To paraphrase a famous line, capital punishment is the sincerest form of apology.
Dumbass indeed!

[auboy]

That's what I've been thinking. With Durbin's comments, and the lefts full court press re: Gitmo, "torture", etc., they may be striking while the flames are being fanned.

[sinkspur]

Why don't you two get a room?

A couple others here have raised their eyebrows as you have; I am suspicious myself. Either way I hate to waste taxpayer money involving the FBI when no illegal activity has been performed :-) At some point this hate-crime-politicial-correctness-bs has to end.

[vox_freedom]

Where did I defend them?

You said you've only met Muslims who support America, yet when confronted with a specific and recent citation of those in your very neighborhood who oppose, nay hate America and what it stands for, you can't bring yourself to say anything in opposition and raise a straw man -- the Klu Klux Klan! How laughable.
Time to stop the double talk and diversionary tactics and recognize the truth. I know it is difficult, but try.

[hope]

Yep...and the democrat nut jobs which have taken over that party have been their enablers now for a few years.

[BurbankKarl]

i wont be losing sleep over this

[Publius6961]

You're losing it, dude. You're all over the map now.

The thread is about a bagful of burning trash, remember?
Let's focus, here.

[Publius6961]

What do you call "Christians" who belong to the Ku Klux Klan?

A Sinkspur wet dream.

[sageb1]

"The thread is about a bagful of burning trash, remember?"

Now CAIR knows why Americans ordered 5,000 copies of the Qu'ran.

[Publius6961]

You've pegged the bigotry scale.

Unapologetically, I might add.

I hate cockroaches, too.

[justkillingtime]

If flag burning is protected free speech, why is koran burning a hate crime?

best analogy Ive heard yet......this should be screamed from the rooftops!!!!
