I disagree, because I also believe that a Muslim or a Jew burning a Bible would be uncivil, and I believe that people who burn the flag are abusing their right to free speech.
I still defend their right to do either of those things, and would oppose the Commander-In-Chief threatening them in order to get them to stop. But I would also attack them for their actions, as a citizen it is my right.
I agree that it is uncivil, but I also think it’s called for. Why? Because those of us who think we have a problem with Muslims are sick and tired of being told to “be nice,” in the face of all kinds of provocation from Muzzies, by people like Obama and the rest of the liberals.
I’m mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take it any more. Cordoba House was the last straw for me, so let them have a taste. Call me barbarian if you will, but I’d argue you are way out of proportion, considering what their side does to our people. I burned a Koran (pic upthread), they burn people. If this doesn’t stop, we’re going to have to start burning people, a lot of them, before this is done.

You are missing the forest for the trees. Christians are not presently killing Jews or Muslims purely because of thier religion, and the Christian bible does not advocate that they do. The Koran DOES advocate such violence; the Koran doesn't advocate the mere burning of symbols; it advocates bloodshed and death. Muslims and Jews have no just reason to burn bibles. IF they burned bibles, however, it would certainly be civil compared to burning "infidels."
We have become so finicky that we regard the peaceful, non-violent symbolic act of burning a Koran, a book that vows violence and death against those who don't embrace Islam, and burning that book on the 9th anniversary of the day that 3,000 innocent Americans were attacked and killed in the name of Islam, as "uncivil." It's like a person who thinks going without TV for a week is really roughing it: frighteningly naive.
