The only thing that Koran burning accomplishes is making us look bad. It does nothing to stop terrorism, support Israel, or defend national security. It’s just a stupid publicity stunt.

Sure does do wonders for my morale, though.

It’s symbolic in nature...you know sort of like the proposed monstrosity in NY...

The burning will take place on 9/11 and it’s already bringing about threats of ‘suicide’ bombers. I’d say that in itself is useful. Flushing the cockroaches into broad daylight is just the wake up call some dumbasses need while other dumbasses will never wake up; not even when that ugly pig latin is blaring from their town’s minerettes (sp).

Might as well ‘get this party started’ and the sooner the better.

How many Bibles are burned or shredded in Islamic Countries?

Answer.... ALL OF THEM THEY CAN FIND!

Every last one of them.

And the world's reaction is the give Islam favored treatment in every other nation on earth.

Burning Bibles certainly hasn't made Muslims look bad.

On the contrary, judging from the world's reaction to this blasphemy, it makes them look.... superior.

You would of been one of those that thought that throwing tea in Boston Harbor “would make us look bad”. It is time America did something and being symbolic in burning the Koran is one good way. If you think about it, throwing the tea in the harbor made the statement we are not going to pay the outrageous taxes, just as this symbolic gesture tells others we are not going to bow down to the religion of peace...gag.

“It’s just a stupid publicity stunt.”

Wrong. It is people who have been pushed too far and who are finally acting out. It is people who realize we are already well down the road to becoming a nation of dhimmis. It is people who NO LONGER CARE what the PC SRM will say about them.

So where do you stand?

I agree. It paints the entire right as extreme. This can only enflame those Muslims that area working with us. What can a Muslim in uniform think of such actions? I am ardent right-wing US Army vet with over 500 support the troops rallies, and countless boxes to the troops. Burning the Koran is a bad idea. Wonder what they’d do if the Bible were burnt?

I agree. Bookburning has a historical referent and it is not pretty. The visuals of this will evoke memories and photos of 1930's Gernmany, their bonfires in the streets fuelled with books the nazis found unacceptible.

We just don't need to hand this to the left to salivate over.

I'm inclined to agree. I'm more amazed that a religion of 'love thy enemy' is performing an act that is not only contrary to the core tenants of Christianity, but will do more harm to Christians worldwide.

I totally get they whys, and part of me would be happy to lend a match. And yeah, and before anyone cries '1st amendment', I get that too. As someone who would die to defend her faith, burning someone else's is no better than what Muslims already do.

But no good can come of this.

The best thing that could happen during this stunt would be for local “TEA” party people to picket the proceedings, and call for an end to this and talk of tolerance. It is a teachable moment, to show those in the middle that the right is not a bunch of knuckle draggers. Of course these people have a right to do what they are doing, but it is rude and disrespectful, for now reason.
