And if he or members of his congregation become victims of Islamic Terrorism because they burned a Koran and we say nothing, then Islam has won and everything our soldiers have been fighting and dying for has been in vain.
The guy is an ass. And Politics makes for strange bedfellows.
The Great Commission of Islam is "Kill the infidels wherever you find them".
The truth of the matter is that Osama Bin Laden did more for the advancement of Islam in America than anyone else. The American political reaction to the 9/11 attack has been to coddle Muslims, to make them the victims and to promote their agenda.
If this guy were to burn a copy of the Book of Mormon, or a copy of the Bible, nobody would care. But because his plan is to burn a copy of the Koran, everyone seems to want to be on the side of those who have a mission to destroy this nation and to institute worldwide Sharia.
If the terrorist threats against him are fulfilled and he is killed by terrorists, then this is not just an attack on some ass who has sympathy for Fred Phelps, it is an attack on all Americans and and attack on Liberty.
If we are going to join in the chorus of those who condemn him for this act, then we have to realize that we are joining in with the likes of Obama, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Osama Bin Laden.
Frankly I would suspect that Fred Phelps probably opposes the burning of the Koran by this preacher because Fred Phelps apparently thinks that the Muslims are doing God's will. And if that is the case, you can add Fred Phelps to the list above.
I agreed with your points on this on a different thread/different post. We’re on the same sheet.
I am simply referring to the guy himself....not his rights or his rightness on THIS PARTICULAR issue.
Holder and Homeland Security should be all over him over the threats against him. If we need another advocate of Koran burning to make the point that we’re not afraid of the terrorists, then I’ll nominate you, and you can nominate me.
It’s just ink & paper burning and death threats ensue? How insanely unamerican is that?
That is an extreme statement that doesn't hold water, P-Marlowe.
There are many Biblical principles that support opposing this irresponsible attention-grabbing act, and it has nothing to do with supporting the political left, and especially not Islamo-fascism.
The fact that he supports the very non-Christian Fred Phelps is further proof that this is a bad actor doing a bad thing.
As for your pinging me yesterday, the fact that a Pope burned the Torah doesn't exactly support your position with principle either.
Book burning may be a protected act under the Constitution, but all protected speech is not something we, as conservatives, and as Christians should support.
Book burning is a BAD idea, and now we know that the people doing it are not the kind of people we can support.
Just thought of a question for you, P....
Was U.S. opposition to the Nazis wrong because Stalin also opposed them?
Isn't the reason behind our opposition the crux of the matter, and not the fact that others agree with the opposition for entirely different (and opposing) reasons?
Those of us who oppose this irresponsible act are not in agreement with Osama bin Laden OR Eric Holder.
We are in opposition because of our conservative principles, our understanding of what it means to be Christian and Americans.
I understand that there will be others who have a different take on this, and feel that rights supercede responsibility and discernment, but if we're being completely straightforward about it, then all conservative, Christian Americans should support the Ground Zero mosque for the same reason......should we not?
