You can be be angry over 9/11 and not burn a Koran.
The better way is to win the war which means not handing the enemy propoganda tools like videos of these stupid antics.
It’s not so much the burning of the koran but refusing to be silenced from protesting. The real issue is the creeping sharia law that is happening here. The first area that they attack is the freedom of speech.
There may be better ways but too many people here are not willing to truly confront what is happening here in the US.

Sure...let's all be dhimmis. Please...these animals don't need "propoganda". They make up their own.
"The better way is to win the war ..."? WHAT WAR, Sienna? This whole charade in which you are participating is to pretend that this "war" is imaginary, that the burning of Korans is too uncivil for peace, and since we're not at war ...
In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, there hasn't been ONE IOTA of effort even to admit there is a war at hand, let alone win it.
But this "war" you speak of, which is an elephant in the room that our secular America cannot acknowledge, is the one that's been going on for 1,400 years: Islam against Judeo-Christian-based Western civilization. They say an alcoholic can't embark on his path to sobriety until he acknowledges the problem; well, America and the West can't embark on a path to victory in this "war" until they acknowledge that there IS a war and that, at its very foundation, it is a religious war.
And what you consider "handing the enemy propaganda tools like videos of these stupid antics," can just as accurately be regarded as symbolic morale boosters for Americans who seek to wage war on Sharia creep. The burning of Korans is civil in the utmost -- it is peaceful, it is legal, and it is such a powerful symbolic statement that an unknown pastor of a tiny church in Florida has captured the attention of not just a nation, but the world, by advocating it as a protest against Islam's creeping overtake of American freedom.
I will tell you that my morale is boosted when I see or read of Koran burnings on this day, Sept. 11, a MOST entirely appropriate day to voice outrage at Islam's attempt to creep into and strangle American freedom. My morale is boosted when I go onto the American Spectator website to read a piece echoing the standard line of both left and right, that "burning Korans isn't right," and in reading the hundreds of comments, see that a full 90 percent of readers think the way I do: that it's time to start using this powerful symbolism to let the bully Islam know, "Not on our watch."
If all it takes for muslims to join the terrorists is kooks burning the koran than the enemy will have their recruits for less than a burning holy book; say for instance that all non muslims should be converted or killed.
With the ROMs we have? I don't think so.
If your enemy is quick to anger, seek to irritate him. Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
Great idea. We know from experience that all we have to do to win their favor so they’ll stop attacking us is to not burn their trashy novels. It’s worked really well so far.
