I guess we see things differently.
true
The Devil does not like to be mocked.
Absolutely a stunt. No one that really just wanted to burn the books, would have a need to tell the world weeks before he did it. He would simply do it, record it, and put it out for everyone to see and claim responsibility. The guy has played practically the whole world with this stunt. I bet he’s getting donations from a lot of places outside his congregation.
Obama implores Muslims to control themselves”
There, fixed it.
If only the president would use as much energy to condemn the ACTUAL murders, rapes, stonings and hangings committed by avid practitioners of the Cult of Death.
Symbolism over substance. The book burning is symbolic. No actual people are injured. The daily violence is real. Actual people are killed, raped, stoned or hanged.
Will Obama order the military to stop burning or otherwise destroying Bibles?
I was responding exclusively to the noob's comment.
i think the guy is an idiot but why is zero getting involved in this??? (besides the obvious)....
he better make statements like this every/any time they deface a Christian symbol under the guise of “art” or burn an American flag...
Pastor May Halt Koran Burning If Obama Asks

Islam is theocratic political system that is incompatible with Western values (which has given countless peoples liberty and opportunities). I don't trust any Muslim. The so-called "moderates" are often found not to be so moderate. We find that almost every day.
Disclaimer: I am a deist and don't subscribe to any religion. I don't need anyone to remind me "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Simple human compassion and empathy, however it developed or was created, is enough for me to appreciate the value of that axiom. If you don't have those traits and cause or support the above atrocities, you are not human and simply a sentient being and need to die early.
We all die, so don't bother me with "every human life is worthwhile" bleeding heart BS. Think MS-13, Bloods, Crips, Mongols, al-quida, Taliban, et al. Let them ALL just vaporized yesterday and let the rest of us live in peace.
I'm all out of "give a damn".

Burning books is not a part of American tradition. We believe in free speech and the right to read what we wish.
” Im guessing that this guy down in Florida is not a big fan of Hussein. “
LOL!
Because he probably has an opinion, like everyone else, and if he didn’t, freepers, along with lots of other people, would say he’s not saying anything about it, because he hates America. Also, his general said it would be bad for the troops and if he didn’t back up his general, then people would say he hates our troops. He probably won’t say it about other religious symbols, because they do not generate anywhere as near as much interest/publicity/emotions, as this.
Its funny, isnt it, how every single time isslam deliberately provokes us, and they do so on a regular basis, were told to simply roll over in the name of tolerance yet, on the very rare occasions when somebody has the nuts to turn the table and provoke right back, were being the unreasonable ones.
Hardly a day goes by where were not lectured by the Liberal Media and various and sundry other blockheads who think themselves our betters on how we need to understand the other sides grievances and put their behavior in cultural context, behavior that is always attributed to an infinitesimally small extremist minority, even when they march in the millions in cities all over the world, pillaging and murdering as they go.
And then, when somebody on our side has the testicular fortitude to say enough is e-NOUGH! and see how that minority likes being spat in their faces, nobody is interested in why we hate them, were just being fanatical bigots who really ought to be locked away lest we provoke the allegedly peaceful religion of isslam to violence. Anybody see a logical disconnect here? If not, please go to the back of the class and shut up while those of us with a brain try to have a conversation.
When we commit a provocation that amounts to burning a handful of books, we invoke the wrath and hectoring of every pea-brained blowhard enlightened chowderhead out there yet, when they commit the provocation of wanting to erect a victory monument to the religion in whose name 3,000 of our countrymen were brutally murdered right next door to the place they were murdered, not a peep comes from those clownshoes except for calling anybody who thinks its insensitive all of the worst names they can think of.
Thanks. That was long overdue.
Judging from their coverage of the Florida preacher who plans on burning a quran the answer is yes, they would.
Would they respond in the same way if I announced that I was publically going to spit on and put a crucifix in a jar of urine? Well, we already know the answer to that one.
“I was on the fence before, but now I definitely support the pastor. Burn em bright!”
I think we should make it a symbolic national event.
Oh suuuuuuuuuuuure, Obama wants us to listen to him and he doesn’t feel the need to listen to us? What a flat out total HYPOCRITE!!!!!!!!!!!
