You talking about the ones who serve side by side then shoot our troops or the ones serving that haven’t done it yet?

“I simply find it strange that many here are supporting a “Thank God For IEDs” and “God Hates America” preacher simply because is this publicity stunt.”

Stopped clock. He’s a nut, I agree.

But I concur that it is past time to stop coddling Islam.

Islam is evil and false.

Being PC is interpreted as weakness or worse, endorsement.

Vatican: Burning Quran is outrageous, grave move

Is it any worse than sealing up this gate, building a cemetary in front of it, and then building a huge mosque right on top of another religion's holiest site?

THREE Christian high school girls were beheaded as a Ramadan “trophy” by Indonesian militants who conceived the idea after a visit to Philippines jihadists, a court heard yesterday.

The girls’ severed heads were dumped in plastic bags in their village in Indonesia’s strife-torn Central Sulawesi province, along with a handwritten note threatening more such attacks.

The note read: “Wanted: 100 more Christian heads, teenaged or adult, male or female; blood shall be answered with blood, soul with soul, head with head.”

Javanese trader Hasanuddin appeared in Jakarta Central Court yesterday charged with planning and directing the murders in October last year. He faces a death sentence if found guilty under anti-terrorism legislation.

Hasanuddin allegedly returned from a visit to members of Philippines Islamist group the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with tales of how that organisation regularly staged bombings to coincide with Lebaran, the festival that ends the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He later spoke with a preacher in Poso, Central Sulawesi, about whether such a plan could work in Indonesia, but expressed doubt about whether it was appropriate.

However, after further discussion with friends, he decided that beheading Christians could qualify as an act of Muslim charity.

Conscripting several accomplices at a local pesantren, or Islamic school, he directed one of them, Lilik Purnomo, to seek out “the head of a Christian”, prosecutors alleged.

“It would be a great Lebaran trophy if we got a Christian. Go search for the best place for us to find one,” Hasanuddin allegedly ordered his companion.

Lilik returned to say he had found an “excellent” target - a group of schoolgirls who travelled to and from class by foot in the Central Sulawesi village of Gebong Rejo. The village is in the district of Poso, where hundreds of people have died in sectarian violence in recent years.

Many observers worry that Central Sulawesi has become the latest battleground in a deadly jihad.

Three Christian men were executed there last month for their role in a massacre of Muslims in 2000 and there have been a series of deadly attacks in the province in recent months.

Prosecutors yesterday detailed how Hasanuddin, Lilik and co-accused Irwanto Irano planned the schoolgirl beheadings with six other men. They prepared six machetes and black plastic bags for carrying off the severed heads and spent several days surveying the area where the students regularly passed by.

The operation was called off on one occasion, when a woman spotted the attackers hiding by the roadside, waiting for their victims. On the night before the attack, Lilik told Hasanuddin: “I hope you are ready to receive your Lebaran gift.”

The attack was launched the following morning, but only four of the six targeted girls appeared.

Lilik, directing the attack from a nearby hill, told his accomplices to act quickly so that the remaining two girls could still be killed should they appear behind their friends.

The attackers cleanly beheaded three of the students but a fourth, Noviana Malewa, escaped after a struggle and ran away screaming. Her attackers gave chase but were unable to catch her.

The bodies, dressed in school uniform, were left by the roadside near the execution site, but the heads were carried in a backpack to Hasanuddin.The trial of his two co-accomplices was adjourned until Wednesday, when Hasanuddin will also reappear.

How about we do something REALLY productive?

How about Kill A Terrorist Day where we give out cash prizes to all troops who kill a terrorist on the anniversary of 9/11?

.... instead of this symbolic gesture from a glory seeking charlatan?

The Iraqis fighting side by side with our soldiers are also Muslims.

“Cordoba House” at Ground Zero is named for the “victory” mosque in Cordoba, Spain when the muzzies were there.

Muslims are killing Christians all over the world especially in Africa. Maybe it about time we stop taking this lying down and cowering under our beds hoping the Muslim boogey man goes away and stand up in thier faces and tell em to piss off.

I think they have every right to burn the books. However, I don’t think it is wise. The MSM may decry it but it is because they love Islam.

Just because they oppose it doesn’t make it right.

Good, now with National Association of Evangelicals against the burning too, you now have to quit being a Protestant if you are now one, and not a atheist. Are you willing too?

HUH? How did you come up with that mash of nonsense? Do you think that the NAE speaks for all Protestants the way that the Vatican speaks for the American Catholic?

You linked me to nothing that muslims don’t do daily.

Your refusal to submit to islam will eventually be their excuse to kill you, if the line is not drawn soon.

Me, I won’t submit to islam. It’s crap and evil and I don’t care who I tell.

Let’s not forget the dhimmi Church of the Nativity communicants when the palistinians took it over and desecrated it for a month. Islam is a violent religion bent on world comination through the 12th imam (Caliphate). FINAL Crusade is coming.

‘We are also in a position that such acts may be denounced as apostates from the Vatican.’

I do not know where you get this ‘apostate’ nonsense, since the Florida guy was never a Catholic he can not be an apostate to the Church.

Then they understand. It is not them we fear, is it? It is not America or the soldiers burning a book, no more than it is those Iraqis who take out infadels throughtout the centuries.

War is ugly but it is important to know where you stand. Either for freedom or not. If we are fighting side by side with those who will honor kill over a book it's best to know that now.

Gee, do you suppose they’re saying this because the Vatican is the largest Christian target in the world?

No, because America is the biggest Christian target in the world.

I like the burning idea. Draw the Muslims out and show them for what they.
