This will not be a popular reply, but what the hell

Burning books is not the way to go. It smells of totalitarianism. Petraeus is an educated man man that is speaking out against the idea of the idea of burning the ideas in them. No matter how repulsed we may be by the Koran, the symbolism of burning them is wrong.

Fahrenheit 451 and A Brave New World laid out the dangers of this quite well. Nazi Germany ilustrated it even better. We ain't Saudi, we ain't Nazi Germany. We are America. Let's be real, doing crap like this sets the precedent for the bozo's that would follow Obama into the abyss. Petraeus is expressing what an American General should, American Values. Flame away.

Burning books is lazy is what it is.

If this church actually cared about confronting radical muslims or spreading the word of Christ, they would either encourage all military-aged members of the church to join the military and go fight the radicals on their own turf in Afghanistan, or they would encourage their members to join Christian missionary and aid groups to go out and actively spread the Word of God and the teachings of Christ.

Burning books is easier and doesn't require the church members to risk their lives, nor does it require them to give up their spare time or their better paying jobs in order to serve their country or God, and so they take the easy and silly way out to get some attention.
