Not that anyone here will listen, but symbolic gestures like burning a Koran only stir a hornets’ nest like the jihadists. It reinforces their stereotypes about us and helps them dupe the next generation of fools they recruit to their cause. Notice it is never the leaders that strap on the bombs but some foolish brainwashed sucker. People here have every right to burn books they own - that still doesn’t make it prudent. Please tell me - what positive result will come of it???
Positive results?
It will cleanse the gene pool of angry Muslims.
The hornets nest was stirred long ago, why do you think the West has suffered so many terrorists attacks by Muslims in the past few decades? Koran burning is not going add to the hostility, only reveal it.
The fact is, koran burning or not, we are heading for a showdown with Islam that cannot be avoided by cowtowing to them, or tolerating them all the while they do not tolerate us. The Koran burning just speeds us faster to the inevitable showdown. That can be either a bad thing or a good thing depending on your view point.
Islam hates the West, they always will, no matter what we do short of surrendering to them. That is reality and cannot be changed by whining about koran burning.
I’d rather their stereotype of us were this, than it be we’re a nation of wimps all cast in the mold of Jimmy Carter, which what it’s been since that sorry administration. They would respect us more.
