9/11/10 Koran burning at Ground Zero captured on video.
lol. very funny too.
If it comes to that, I’d like to be around to watch.
Thank you for the kind words ...
Yamamoto said the following. Too bad the muzzies don’t feel the same way: You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
The good Lord does care about at least one physical object, and that’s the bodies people were given. They are supposed to be viewed (if Christian) as temples of the Holy Spirit, or (if not Christian) potential temples of the Holy Spirit and certainly images of God.
There’s some more, like communion and its varying interpretations among Christendom, but all involving physical items.
Yamamoto also was constrained to think of direct aggression, rather than seemingly friendly infiltration.
You don’t fight a war with tolerance. There should have been a thousand Koran buring in every city in America, instead America wimpers on.
Already have, actually! Watched it twice so far, too! It’s SUPERB.
The logical conclusion of your opinion is that nobody in this country should do anything “unnecessary” that might offend the radicals who killed us on 9/11, because it might make a few more “almost-radicals” into radicals, and make things harder.
Well, if we all converted to Islam, and implemented Sharia law, and allowed the Taliban to take over Afghanistan, I suppose our troops would be a lot safer than they are now. Just as if we had given in to Germany in WW2, we wouldn’t have had so many soldiers killed in that war either.
Who defines what is “unncessary”? Sure, most of us seem to agree that burning a Koran is unnecessary. But given that Jesus said we could pray in secret, is there really any reason for us to be so open about practicing our faith in public, something that also offends the radical muslims?
And while our women like to parade around in immodest clothing, and our men like to watch them, surely it’s not NECESSARY that they wear those clothes, so shouldn’t we, just to be safe, make all women wear modest dress, and cover themselves?
And nobody thinks pornography is necessary. Or R-rated movies that show women undressed. Osama has issued proclamations about how our predilictions are one of the things that causes them to attack us, so we should certainly stop filming R-rated movies, it’s not ncessary and it puts our troops in danger.
Where do you draw the line? And are you the arbitor, or is General Petraeus the one who gets to make the rules about what freedoms of ours are necessary, and which are unnecessary and should be abandoned to make our soldier’s jobs easier?
As I said in another thread I posted, Obama surrendered our country this week. When the government tells a private citizen to curtail their free speech rights “for the sake of the troops”, that is the day when we surrender to the demands of those who threaten the troops because of our liberties.
BTW, I totally believe that you have every right to be upset at the Pastor, and to say that he is endangering our troops, and to publicly denounce him for the unncessary risks he is imposing.
That’s because you are a fellow citizen, and do not speak with the authority of the government, and the authority of the military.
Doesn’t it bother you in the least bit that Obama explicitly named himself as “commander in chief” when he denounced the pastor; that the Secretary of Defense also denounced the pastor, and that General Petraeus denounced hte pastor? Doesn’t it bother you that the entire top ranks of our military leadership impolitely told a citizen to stop exercising his free speech, because it made their job harder?
It bothers me greatly.
HELL YA.
THIS COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE THOUSANDS IN EVERY CITY BURNING THESE STINKING KORANS.
URRRAHH
Ha ha ha....hahahhahhahahahhahahahahaha HA!
The time will come, Brother or Sister Christian, when we will be faced with the reality of this: that our fight for freedom and our fight to defend the Judeo-Christian ethic are one and the same. It is a hard pill for an increasingly secular and very pampered society to swallow.
“I can’t believe we are falling to the same level as the barbarians...”
Get back to me when our side starts cutting heads off with rusty knives.
Your appreciation for barbarity is lacking.
EXACTLY
It’s very, very nice to have a society more or less enlightened by biblical ideals, but absolutely essential for Christians to actually evangelize, i.e. play some part in winning souls.
That guy is AWESOME!
Which in turn will validate our perception, and the truth about them.
Petraus was out of line
This man did something important...in the national conversation. He said that American Freedom of speech was more important than anyone else’s issues, nationally or internationally.
This man is going to need protection.
