Nonsense. The only thing that will stop these animals from killing Americans would be for all Americans to convert to islam and accept sharia law. The sooner we accept that the sooner we will stop tip toeing around these SOBs.

“For Jones, who sells t-shirts saying “Islam is of the Devil,” may be an Islamophobe, but he is also a serious man, willing to live with the consequences of his deeds, even if he causes U.S. war casualties.”

Then let him move to the middle east, where arabic Christians are within reach of the Islamic mobs if he wants to “live with the consequences” of burning a Koran.

And by mentioning it Patraues is asking his civilian bosses to suspend the Constitution and stomp the koran burners.

I could care less about the Westboro Baptist Church or Dove World. But I hate Islamic terrorists worse and I see know reason to give these ignorant morons stuck in the 7th century veto rights of the 1st amendment.

Amen!

Shouldn't Petraeus be saying "You go right ahead and burn those Korans, Reverend, we've got your back?

No. You haven't been paying attention the last 20 months or so.

Petraeus is thinking of his overextended troops and I approve of his comments. No one in history has ever won an offensive war in that area. Do you have so much confidence in His Awesomeness' leadership skills that he can lead the US to victory?

Without a competent CinC, Petraeus is helpless.

So far as I know one does not have to move to practice the 1st amendment. I suffer when the flag is burned so the the mooslims can just suck it up when those vile books are torched!!!

If every single American purchased a copy of the Koran and burned it, who would benefit more than the folks who sell Korans? And who sells more Korans than Muslims?

Hey, I’m sure that’s a big comfort to the arabic Christians living among the savages. The westboro loons and the westboro loon wannabe can burn the books if they want. I just doubt they would if they had Christian family members within reach of the Islamic mobs. Maybe I’m wrong, and they would do it for their 15 anyhow.

*Just think everyone, if you’ve ever wanted 15 minutes of international fame, now is your chance. Just spend a little money on some korans and gasoline and you’ll be the talk of the week.
If you want to be really famous, you could launch the korans up in a helium balloon and call the media.*

Be sure to put an animatronic Muslim boy in it to draw more attention from the Islamic community.

Make certain that it's not an animatronic girl. They probably won't care then.

What does that have to do with Christians living within reach of the Islamic mob? You do know that there are Christians over there, right? They would seem to be the ones who are going to have to deal with the savages so others living in safety can have their 15 minutes of fame.

No, I have a solid belief in the Constitution of the United States and Petraeus' obligation to protect that Constitution at any cost.

Your response doesn't address the fundamental question. Why do we have a military? Is it not expressly the purpose of our military to defend every American and their unalienable rights? What other legitimate purpose does it have?

What part of:"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same . . ." is unclear? Is that not the oath that every member of our military takes?

Not burning those Koran’s is Terrorist Appeasement...and considered a victory “over the infidel” by Islamic Terrorists

Don't worry - I am burning pages of the queeran today and tomorrow after soaking the pages in bacon grease for additional fuel.

The whole purpose of having a military is to defend this idiot's' right to be obnoxious and burn Korans.

Would you defend someone's right to be obnoxious and burn Torahs, even to the extent of going to war with Israel?

To provide for a common defense.

Is it not expressly the purpose of our military to defend every American and their unalienable rights?

No. Not even close. Have you ever been into the American Citizen part of a US Embassy? (I don't think so). Look at the text at the bottom of the large notice on the wall. The part where it says that it is our responsibility to obey all local laws and the US denies any responsibility if we should happen to land afoul of them.

Our constitutional rights end somewhere before we hand the DHS goon our passport, then stripping almost naked to go through the checkpoint.

What other legitimate purpose does it have?

To defend our borders. From what I've read about southern Arizona, we are very close to ceding large tracts of lands to Mexican drug cartels. We should have troops there. Instead, our government is suing Arizona.

Free speech is not going into a bank and saying "this is a bank robbery. I have a gun and will kill everyone unless you do exactly as I say" (not having a gun, then saying, hey I was just exercising my 1st amendment right of free speech when police are called in). As absurd an example that may seem, it is identical to that idiot Jones in Florida.

I suggest you reread it, since you have an exotic interpretation of the role of the military.

1)We are at war with the Islamic world whether we want to admit it or not....and it is a very different war.

President Bush, as much as I disagreed with him starting the Afghan and Iraq wars, did not declare war on Islam.

Bin Laden was never the right target. Ayman Zawahiri (Bin Laden's master) was the correct target. Bin Laden was a Ted Kennedy, a rich kid living off his parent's wealth and whatever we were paying him when he was cultivated as a CIA asset when the USSR was invading Afghanistan in the 1980s.

Bin Laden is as Muslim as Ted Kennedy is Catholic. Zawahiri is just plain insane and should be treated as such. The only reason he ended up in Afghanistan is that when he tried to incite real Muslims to violence, he was rejected.
