heretics? aka Infidels?
OK, some Muslims want to kill all the Americans and some Americans want to kill all the Muslims. Like you said in your other post, why is everyone making a big deal about it? Most don’t.
Get with reality, please. If this were truly a group of dedicated atheists planning a mass BIBLE and/or Torah burnings, the MSM and lefties would happily cover the event LIVE and furnish the lighter fluid.
“Live breaking news on CNN etc.”
With whom? People like me see it as a positive development and applaud them taking a stand.
Do you mean "negative publicity" among our enemies? Don't be daft. The only positive publicity we could have with them is if we committed mass suicide.
If the Korans are private property there is nothing to prevent the owners from destroying their own private stock, or using them as toilet paper. It is not like shredding other people’s Bibles as they do in Saudi Arabia.
So, get over it world!
I've seen this point raised over and over on this topic, and I have to ask--who is saying burning Bibles and the flag are good things, or things not to worry about?
Answer: People we don't like in the first place--libs especially.
Why is the most prominent justification for this that liberals are acting like liberals? I couldn't give a damn what THEY think about this stuff.
The attitude seems to be "We'll show THEM! We'll really tick THEM off!"
But, and no offense directed to you, isn't that a childish response?
People can do whatever they want to their Korans or however it's spelled, but this "Burn a Bible, it's okay, but burn a Koran? NO!!!! Well, we'll show THEM!" stuff is just silly.
And frankly, all this silliness isn't worth one hair on one of our soldiers' heads. If burning a Koran had ANY positive result in the WOT, I wouldn't care. But if it causes one loony Muslim to hurt ONE soldier, I sure hope those who supported this will step forward and proudly say they supported this demonstration of one thing and one thing only--that Americans can burn books.
Lest we forget the unbridgeable chasm between Judeo-Christianity and Islam, here are the words of Winston Churchill regarding Islam:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the inference of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.
It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50, London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).
Islam is antithetical to, and irreconcilable with, America.
Islam Delenda est - because Muslims are commanded to forcibly convert, kill, or enslave all non-Muslims.
thanks for that blast from the Bulldog past...Ive been all morning thinking 'can a rabid dog become more dangerous' ???
