Though a member of FR for years now I Haven’t written a vanity in a long time, but because of the events of the last few days re-- the quran burning controversy, I am going to break that trend and humbly ask that my fellow freepers read this.
When crosses were put in urine, when flags are burned, when the virgin mary was depicted with feces, what was our response? Yes it stung, yes it made many of us angry, but our response was we denounced these actions with words. There was no violence, nor threat of violence.
Contrast that to the response of muslims to burning the Koran. We are told in no uncertain terms that if Korans are burned there will be violence.
The answer in this situation should have been obvious--however angry the burning of a Koran may make you, you cannot make threats to silence people, that is completely unacceptable.
Somehow though, over the last few days, the left ,the conservative punditry and sadly even some here on the right, have, instead opted to confer exalted status on Islam. Giving Muslims the right not to be offended, and if offended, the right to threaten violence. This is a status no other religion in the world enjoys, NOR EVER SHOULD.
And that is why muhammed must be depicted, and that is why Korans need to be burned, to show muslims they cannot dictate to us what we can and can’t do with threats of violence.
That is what should have happened, instead sadly, the opposite, the ultimate appeasement occurred.
This was a pivotal moment in our history and we blew it big time.
All I can say is that if we continue down this road of surrendering constitutional rights so that muslims won’t be offended and won’t hurt us for it, then we may as well pack up our soldiers and bring them home, because we’ll have lost the war on terror, in our own backyard.
Excellent post!
America is being torn down piece by piece and becoming a hollowed out shell of itself because of political correctness, liberalism, and Islam. Each of these three are destroying The Divine Institutions, which include: Human Freedoms, Marriage, The Family, The Sanctity of Life and the nation itself.
” think it’s possible we could somehow trick Joe Biden into burning a Koran.
Now that is an excellent idea! ;-) “
Joe Biden(holding Zippo lighter) :
” Hey, this is a big F’n deal!! “
Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!
Its not like they don’t need it nuked either, it would free them from their chains. They just idolize the damn thing, walking in circles around it for hours, throwing stones at a Satan idol and drinking water from some spring. They treat mecca in a way that they castigate the world for treating their own religion. Its a sacred idol, the golden calf.
THANKS for your kind reply.
