3rdcoastislander: “Burning the koran will not solve anything, it is a waste of time and lighter fluid. Sure it may piss some muslims off but the ones that want us dead decided that a long time ago. Our time would be better spent educating everyone we know about how tyranny follows Sharia law where ever it plants itself.”
If nothing else, September 11 is going to roll around again. Some people are going to call it Worldwide Burn a Koran Day, and they will burn a bunch of Korans.
It is important when that happens, freedom-loving people assert that the people who are lawfully burning their Korans have that right. If we don’t do that, we are all worse off, because we’ve lost our freedom of speech.
It is important that we present a united front to those who would take away our rights.
Once we lose our freedom of speech, we’ve lost it permanently. There’s just no reason to give up our freedoms. People in Pakistan don’t like what we’re doing? So what. There is no reason for us to give up our hard won rights.
I disagree. Burning the Koran demonstrates in a tangible, undeniable way to all worldwide the we here in the United States enjoy freedom of speech and that we do not submit to the demands of Sharia. When we do NOT burn the Koran in the face of jihadist threats then the jihadis conclude that we are running scared and they are emboldened to threaten us some more and increase their demands.
Michelle Malkin has written extensively on the breadth of Muslim demands against Western societies. Where do you propose we draw the line? I propose we draw it at the water's edge. No Sharia on U.S. soil. Not the tiniest bit. Not on one square inch.
You say educate instead of burning. I say burning (and the jihadi reaction thereto) are education!
