Koran-burning pastor says murders of UN staff aren’t his fault

Just to be clear...I am a proud supporter of the Nuke Mecca wing of the Republican Party.

I still don’t see Pastor Jones as anything but a selfish publicity seeker.

[jackibutterfly]

"It probably was triggered by the photos of the dead soldiers our soldiers took....ahh but that would make the “Golden One” in the White House look bad...so they blame it on the Pastor."

No, it was triggered by Karzai who made a statement denouncing the act.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Bzzzzt! I never said jones was fighting islam. What I REALLY wonder is why YOU are defending it. Are you a muslim?

You are the one who decided my criticism of Pastor Jones was equivalent to defending Islam...I never have and never will.

[LonePalm]

I imagine that if I said that I burned a Koran, some Muzzie somewhere would get offended.

I might then be responsible for them being offended but I would not be responsible for their actions as a result.

Is posting a picture of a burning Koran the same as burning one?

I don't think so.

If you are going to burn a Koran, is it more offensive to smear it with pork fat first? Does it really matter? It will burn better but it seems like a waste of pork fat.

If you burn a Koran and don't tell any Muzzies, how many UN workers will they kill anyway?

Inquiring minds want to know?

[Tex-Con-Man]

There are no consequences to his actions. He burned a useless book. Presumably his own copy of the book. Some mindless idiots in the middle east decided that they needed to murder innocent people because of what he did. It isn't HIS actions that killed people, it's THEIR actions.

You not acknowledging cause and effect doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Jones knew what would happen...he didn't care.

[theDentist]

C’mon Travis. It’s worthy of discussion. Free men can take opposing viewpoints.

[dfwgator]

Maybe Jones knew something would happen, then again maybe he counted on the UN having some balls to actually mow down the savages when they did attack.

[jackibutterfly]

"Radical Islam is the greatest threat "

OK, people - we've GOT to STOP using that term - radical islam. There is no such thing as "radical" islam or "moderate" islam. islam is islam - cruel and merciless and evil. Those "moderates" are people who choose not, at this time, to follow their "religion". A good muslim is one who is what everyone calls radical. A bad muslim is a moderate muslim, cuz they are NOT following their "religion".

[dfwgator]

OK, people - we've GOT to STOP using that term - radical islam.

Exactly, it's as ridiculous as the term "Radical Nazi."

[Tex-Con-Man]

...then again maybe he counted on the UN having some balls to actually mow down the savages when they did attack.

U.N.? Balls? And attacking Muslims? does - not - compute

[dfwgator]

Never said the pastor was necessarily smart.

[rodguy911]

Will do sounds like a perfect analogy.

[RaceBannon]

You can’t be serious!

A bit of a stretch?

Have you forgotten that a CARTOON of Muhammed gets people killed??

Are you so disconnected on this threat we face to NOT believe that some day, they are actually going to say, as their latest excuse, INTERNET POSTINGS MADE US KILL INFIDELS!

Why is THAT such a stretch?

They alreay use a CARTOON as their excuse!

[dfwgator]

They alreay use a CARTOON as their excuse!

Next it could a Free Republic thread, such as this one.

[RaceBannon]

which of the following two stories will the media express the most outrage about?

So, what does it really matter if he wanted publicity on anything for anyways?

the responses to His actions PROVED his words were right!

[Twinkie]

He should be thanked. Now, for the trial of the pedophile.

[Twinkie]

When Karzai denounces Muslim destruction of the Holy Bible, I’ll be impressed. *Crickets* . . . (thought so) . . .

“His stunt is doing nothing but getting people killed. (and BTW, his own daughter agrees with me.)”

Again with the blaiming the rape victim instead of the rapist. Terry didn’t kill anyone. He didn’t cause a need for anyone to be killed.

Islam is savagery practiced by the stupid and ignorant, pure and simple.

“I am a proud supporter of the Nuke Mecca wing of the Republican Party.”

I think you’re a liberal using such a phrase because you think that what the Republican Party is all about, which is a common misconception liberals ahave about Republicans.

I remind you that your boy Obama just attacked Libya.

Even your screen name seems to be calling Bush a “Texas Con Man.” If anyone is a con it’s your boy Obama, the mooselimb little big eared kid from Kenya.
