"So, let me see if I get this... you think the actions of a free person to exercise their own freewill in protest of terrorism with a symbolic act"

Logical error #1: a book is not an artifact of terrorism. You want to protest terrorism, protest those that support perpetrate or support terrorism --- including Islamic organizations in the U.S. Books have nothing to do with that. Protest behavior, protest what books say, but not the books themselves. That is ridiculous --- just as blaming guns for murderous acts. Your views here are exactly those of American leftists.

"is equivalent to state sponsored fascism and terror?"

Logical error #2: Nazis and Communists also burned books "exercise their own freewill in protest of" ideologies with which they disagreed. This had nothing to do with state support.

Burning books is patently unAmerican. For centuries our children were taught to combat speech with which they disagree with more speech. It is very sad indeed that this must be explained to someone who considers herself a conservative.

"Or are you really just an Islamic apologist trying to twist things to fit your world view?"

Logical error #3: nothing I'd said could've been possibly connected with your conclusion. Unable to attack the message, you attack the speaker (me). This kind of logical fallacy (arumentum ad hominem) is one of the oldest known logical fallacies.

It appears also that you cannot even imagine that someone may stand on position of principle: you assume that I, as you would, merely take sides.

You only confirm what was evident from your previous posts: you have no moral bone in your body.

#1. You ignored my closing.

The book burning is a joke. So let’s laugh it off as such.

How about the systematic termination of all Muslims? Via the political device known as total war? Like we used in WWII when we understood the ideals of those enemies and what was at risk and how far we were willing to do in pursuit of ending those ideas?

It took fire bombing cities during their most holy holidays, and nuking 2 other cities to get the point across then.

So, in that, VERY American tradition, I suggest we firebomb and Nuke ALL Muslim cities NOW.

Until the only Muslims left living are mocked like “Illinois Nazi’s” in the movies.

Discuss.
