Sorry, I disagree. A burning cross on someone's lawn or a swastika is threatening. How threatening is a Koran in the toilet?

I think it is noteworthy that this group of Muslims does not seem to be reacting like fanaticals that pledge death to America and anyone non-Muslim at the slightest hint of an insult or a cartoon or a mispoken word. I think we should be encouraging this kind of measured response - they seem to be willing to work within the laws and existing framework for dealing with something like this.

A burning cross would certainly be threatening to blacks and offensive to most others, a swastika would be offensive to a jew and most others, a so called work of art with Jesus or Mary covered in feces or urine would be offensive to most God loving people (including a non-Christian like myself), and a Koran in the toilet would certainly be offensive to even a moderate Muslim.

Don't get me wrong, I firmly believe that the only viable solution to the extremist Muslim problem is extermination, plain and simple, but I have no problem with moderate and forward thinking Muslims who prefer not to return to the year 1100, other than their relative silence on the extremist elements within their religion.

You need to study up on the way muzzies work. They want all kinds of things outlawed. They are hoping to use the democrat playbook of slowly eating away at everything we've always stood for in this country. They won't stop here.

You seem to believe that they did not dunk the prophet themselves. I don't.

I believe Islam must be wiped from the face of mankind. Were the choice mine all Muslims would have been interned after 9-11, and those not natural born citizens would be back in their nation of origin today. Before any were released from internment I'd force them to grapple with the disparity of historical accounts put forth in the Christian and Jewish Bibles as they were authored well before the Koran came into existence. It would be very controversial as it would force them to learn what the Koran forbids them from learning. If they refused I'd offer them a one-way ticket to a country of their choosing that would have them.

The Koran is proof positive revisionist history can be dreadfully dangerous. While nonreligious people may lump the three books together, even the most secular among them that have read the three must admit the Koran makes very recognizable departures from the earlier works, and therefore should be separated along with the religion from the Christianity and Judaism.
