I disagree it is unpatriot to burn the book.

I agree that burning the book alone is not unpatriotic, and our freedom of expression should always be secured, but if there is a chance that burning of one book would cause less chance to win a war against terrorism, and result in thousands of Americans fighting for our country in Afghan to die by angry mad mobs with suicide vests for revenge as a result for Al Qaida using this for their propaganda to excite the local citizens, what is your answer.

That is a good question. People seem to forget that our troops are fighting side by side WITH Iraqi troops that are Muslims. Also, there won’t only be backlash from our military. Civilian Americans and Christians in Muslim countries will also be targeted.

I also posted right after that... he (Gen. Pet.)is overstating the case to try to avoid the gruesome outcome that may be the Islam way

It is a murky logic that can't be worked out. To stop any burning of the book does not and will not end the hate and violence that is Islam, only halt what might be brought on in this moment in time. The other side of the coin is it will no doubt give Islam strength stemming from our cowardace that folds under pressure rather to fight protect what freedoms they want to take away from us. We become the paper tiger they think they will defeat bit by bit
