Been sayin’ that since summer of ‘08.
Kbarbegue
Wasn't that group some sort of church or sect?
.
I propose that all henceforth all Korans be printed on pure asbestos sheets. This will insure that none of those awful infidels burn this precious document.
And with any luck, eventually solve the problem entirely.
Yeah, you might even say there's something wrong with people who kill because theres a FALSE story about throwing that fishwrap they call a koran in the toilet, or people who really do kill over a freaking cartoon.
So we're supposed to walk on egg shells because these savages have no self control? Because they kill people at the drop of a hat?
Well whats the next thing we're not going to be allowed to do so we don't set them off in a murderous rage? and the thing after that?
Clue us in Iman Obama, are the people who do that moderate muslims?
I prefer placing the pages in the local public latrines where
their bloody religions text belongs. Burning it only fouls the air like that call to Islamic prayer at even.
me too my friend
Burn the American Flag: Sure, No Biggie
Burn The Bible: Have at it...it’s your rights.
Burn the Quaran:
Obama: Call it off...
Vatican: ‘Outrageous’...
NYPD: ‘Dangerous’...
Holder: ‘Idiotic’...
Clinton: ‘Disgraceful’...
Palin: ‘Unnecessary provocation’...
FBI: Retaliation ‘Likely’...
Great post! Nails it.
Where is the ACLU speaking out in favor of Free Speech rights?
Burn an American flag all the libs line up to support that act. Burn a Koran... all of a sudden hurt feelings matter.
????
Why are the feelings of some groups protect and others just have to lump it?
Marches in Hollywood about LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST. “Eat it, Christians! Free speech!!!!”
One loon pastor with a 50-member church can create a GLOBAL incident?
To me it speaks of the power of free speech.
Every artist, pastor, politician, etc. should explain to the Muslim world that there are inalienable human rights that are superior and the principle is what matters.
That’s PRECISELY the argument that would being made if this were Christians upset about a similar event.
Perhaps the MSM has “Christianaphobia”??
“Some mockings of religion get pleas urging to stop from the POTUS, others get National Endowment for the Arts funding.”
Great point! Would make a nice bumper sticker or protest sign.
And remember the crucifix in a jar of urine? That was defended as “art”, and as an expression of someone’s freedom of speech.
Well, we see that liberals only believe in shocking protests such as flag burning when done in support of liberal causes. Otherwise, they are shocked, just shocked, that anyone would do something like burning a Koran in protest.
Ironic because the liberals filed lawsuits which led to Supreme Court decisions upholding the right to burn the American flag, or anything else, in protest.
It’s interesting to contrast the mosque issue and the Koran burning issue. The liberals use opposite arguments in each case, to arrive at the liberal point of view on each issue.
Yes I remember about Clinton. An official of the National Organization of Women said she would perform a sex act herself with Bill Clinton, for all that he did for women’s issues. She totally trivialized the whole issue of sex harrassment with that one idiotic comment. And made it very hard to take N.O.W. seriously, if this is the type of people they have working for them.
The more anyone comments, the more likely this is to becoming a sel-fulfilling prophecy. Jones is a media whore wack-job running an odd-ball, 50 member sect. He did this for publicity and publicity alone, and will follow through because it'll keep him in the limelight.
Did you hear the way he says, “Pakistan”. If, not listen to the actual clip. This guy is a muslim!
Its this administration who are fanning this thing into a global/political crisis.
If they had ignored it it would have blown over by now.
Rather than burning the Koran, they should put it in a jar of urine and demand federal $$.
Oh give me a break! The media from all ends of the political spectrum have been all over this for days. Obama and Petraus and Clinton could have kept their yaps shut and this still would have been blown all out of proportion. Which is exactly what this Florida goof-ball wanted all along.
Obama ordered the military to burn the Bibles a soldier had sent over to Iraq to teach Christianity. While I think that is not something a soldier should ever do, the Bibles were burned.
Obama comments like him useless.
