Presumed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney came out Wednesday against the planned burning of the Quran by a Florida pastor, saying that doing so would endanger American troops.
“Burning the Quran is wrong on every level,” the former Massachusetts governor said in a statement to POLITICO. “It puts troops in danger, and it violates a founding principle of our republic.”

There could be a silver lining in all this...burning the Koran might show these knuckleheads naysayers just how "peaceful" a religion Islam is.
The downside would be more attacks...but sadly, that is often what it takes to wake up some people...
Get lost.
Off of my thread.
Like... if the books were not burned, turbanites will be really nice to the troops.
Burn the books and they will be really pissed and charge our machine gun nests?
Bring Patton on instead of RAT generals.
He just wanted to get some publicity.
If burning a koran is bad, then building a Ground Zero victory mosque/terrorist shrine is at least 3,000 times worse.
If we had burned a few copies of Mein Kampf, would the Nazis have become “inflamed”?
They are both insensitive.
That’s a totally different subject.
One is religious — one it not.
War is insensitive.
“Take your ineligible, shapeshifting backstabber back to the DNC.”
LOL. Black hole is perfect. How ya been? Good summer up in the hills?
I totally agree if you’re talking about the GOVERNMENT burning books. That is always absolutely wrong.
But the pastor is a private citizen.
Yes, Where’s Patton when you need him?
Only if you buy the notion that islam is a religion. I don’t.
It’s a cult.
Romney, definitely not a free speech advocate. I never heard him complain about the Islamic destruction of bibles. Maybe he should check into the book of Morman and see how the Islamists receive the Angel Moroni.
I don’t really care if the Dove church wants to burn books. It’s a freedom of expression guaranteed under the Constitution. Just like Piss Jesus, except Dove Church is doing it without tax payer help.
Good point.
Disgusting because it’s Mitt’s jockey’s or because it’s anatomically correct?
