Time Magazine's Joe Klein: Qur'an-burning an "act as murderous as any suicide bomber's"
Jihad Watch ^ | 4/5/11 | Robert

Posted on 04/05/2011 7:40:10 PM PDT by Nachum

Jones, of course, killed no one. Suicide bombers kill as many people as they can for Allah. But Joe Klein is by no means alone in assuming that Muslims cannot control themselves and respond to insult with anything but threats and murder, and thus cannot be held responsible for their own actions. He thus reveals again the multicultural Left's bigotry and ethnocentrism. "Joe Klein Reserves Spot in Hell for Koran-burning Pastor Who's As 'Murderous' As 'Suicide Bombers,'" by Ken Shepherd for NewsBusters, April 4 (thanks to James):

Burning a copy of the Koran is morally equivalent to flying a plane into the World Trade Center and equally eternally damnable.

That's essentially the fatwa of Time magazine's Joe Klein in an April 1 blog post at the magazine's Swampland blog.

Klein was condemning Florida pastor Terry Jones's "trial" and subsequent burning of a Koran which allegedly have sparked a murderous rampage against UN workers in Afghanistan last week:

[T]here should be no confusion about this: Jones's act was murderous as any suicide bomber's. If there is a hell, he's just guaranteed himself an afterlifetime membership.

This is what happens when people like Joe Klein are ignorant of world history. If he would bother to study history of India, he would have learned that Muslims invaded India in the 8th century. Whenever they conquered an area, they always destroyed the holy sites of indigent population and built a mosque right on top of that site.

So why are the Muslims infuriated when someone burns a paper copy of Quran when the Muslims had no compunction in destroying holy temples and converting people to Islam by force? Because the Muslims do not recognize any other religion, and are 100% intolerant.

” If there is a hell, he’s just guaranteed himself an afterlifetime membership.”

It never ceases to amaze me that those who don’t believe in (or say they don’t)a heaven and a hell bring up the place when they feel the need to punctuate their statements.

How quick these people are to appease the muslims. I’m sure they’ll welcome their muslim overlords gladly while throwing we Christians to the lions.

I believe these secular humanists/Marxists/agnostics/atheists hate Christianity and Christians so much that if forced to choose to become one or the other, either Christian or moslem, they would prefer to bow to Mecca five times daily.

...I always love it when journalists begin lecturing us on the evils of free press and free speech...

Still, there's something really creepy about it...

When they say "speech codes", they're not talking about for themselves...
