Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in a statement released Thursday night, said: "While we denounce the assault on the Holy Koran and stress the importance of not letting this occur, we urge Muslims, whereever they are, to exercise the utmost restraint."

"Do not do what would hurt the followers of the church," he said.

At least someone is urging restraint by Muslims over the protest. Our president certainly isn’t.

in the Old Testament, God said that he would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if ten righteous men could be found there.

I suppose for the sake of the ten righteous Muslims who may be out there we should not be burning Korans or going out of our way to offend them.

Does not mean we should not fight back against nonsense like the Ground Zero Mosque.

OUR PRESIDENT CERTAINLY ISN'T

Wow, you are right. Not word one to his muslim friends.

As the saying goes, “The most important words are those left unsaid”.

Iraq is about the only place where there are such things as muslim leaders who will occasionally speak out.

I guess that’s why Obama thinks the Iraq war wasn’t worth it.

Remember this “religion” permits them to lie in order to further their cause.

Muslims can find a location where the US military is burning bibles, and join in.

Ayatollah Sistani has been praised by Vatican for advocating religious tolerance.

These pseudo-christian morons have no concept of what Christianity is. Idiots like this and the Westboro cult are an abomination to Christianity.

What an unnecessary distraction, this senseless publicity-hunting Q'uran burning.

Instead of watching and having media to comment on Dems' self-destruction and talking about very unpopular, divisive, detached from reality and inarticulate slacker president and elected Dems' corruption and running away from the horrible policies they just voted for, a few church "leaders" are engaging in stupid acts of "religious wars" or mindless demonstrations of "religious intolerance".

This only changes the narrative on the "news" and distracts from letting the Democrats and Obama self-annihilate and for everyone else to watch it on TV in the comfort of their own homes before the November referendum on them.

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake" - Napoléon Bonaparte
"When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging" - Will Rogers

Clearly, few Napoleons among these "leaders":

Yes, it's pretty sad when a Shia ayatollah makes more sense than our own president, isn't it?

And we thought Jimmy Carter was bad.

Well, he was bad. But Obie has defined a new level of "bad."
