Is said imam being held responsible or are we honoring the American Bill of Rights in a country without one?

Someone should explain to these people how weak it makes their god appear when he, or she, has to depend on mere mortals for protection. I would not want to worship or serve a god who was so weak that I had to be constantly getting all riled up and having to defend. Honestly, how much good can such a god do you when the chips are down? If I’m going to be depended upon to protect this being then I might as well rely on myself and just eliminate the middle man, god.

They would be quite humorous if they weren’t so dangerous.

What a miserable life it must be for these people.

I’m not willing to stop hoping that a 50 megaton nuke goes off in mecca on the biggest day of ramadan.

Keep telling these savages that more korans are being burned or desecrated here and maybe they will just all kill each other.

Would it help to mention that I flushed something functionally equivalent to the Koran this morning (and every morning)?

“how nations have tried to conqueor Afghanistan and were defeated”

Afghanistan has been conquered many times, but no one with a brain wants to keep it...the term “S%@thole” was invented to describe Afghanistan.

Yea, where are those moderates that our politicians/msm/apologists regard so highly?

I wonder how angry they will be when Mosques begin to burn.
It's Islam who declared war on the world.

Thanks Nextrush.
"They have insulted our Koran" and "Death to America,"
This wouldn't be a problem in the future if this mob of men were shot to death en masse. The aftermath t-shirts could say, "Want Some More? Just C'mon Back!"

My guess is that as this is being debated in the editorial rooms of the various accomplice U. S. media, that the American Bill of Rights does not apply to the Florida minister, but does apply to the Afghani imam.

Think of what these dirty savages would do if “comedians” Penn & Teller took to the stage, ripped a page from the Koran and yelled, “B*ll Shiite!”

The net result of killing all the Muzzies will be less violent death throughout the human future. Soooo, I’m not as bloodthirsty as I may seem. ;’)

-— US female soldiers wearing headscarves in Afghanistan.

Noooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!

S I C K E N I N G

The USA, or some decision-makers are getting more stupid by the minute, if that’s possible.
We’re continually being softened up - - -

Another reason for US citizens to say they will avoid military service - just as the enemy loves, those right here, and elsewhere.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!

IS THIS PICTURE PHOTOSHOPPED???????

WHERE ARE OUR FEMALE SOLDIERS’ HELMETS, FOR GOODNESS SAKE???
Sacrifice yourself, you idiot decision makers, not our finest.

It’s not April Fools Day any longer.

WHY NOW, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS???????

There are those securing our fate - - -

Being ‘nice’ only goes so far.

To get closer to the locals, give out candy, coffee, deodorant, T.P. or something, but

~ ~ ~ DO NOT MONKEY WITH MILITARY UNIFORMS ~ ~ ~

Next ‘we’ll’ be taking away our female soldiers’ guns.

STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID

I can hardly see straight I’m so outraged!!!!!
(Are we being ‘baited’ - - -)?

Mohammed wrote the best book ever for encouraging young men to die for a sexual god - I mean read the damnable book - read it and you too will want to burn it. It is full of horrific admonitions to behead and kill those who offend this sexual god allah. Young men are titillated to think that killing enemies of this false god will get them all kinds of sexual pleasures. This so called religion is nothing more than a pretext to treat women as sexual objects by violent men who wish to show their manhood in bizzarre and violent ways. I say burn their book and when they behead people for this god, burn them.

The all-female unit of 46 Marines is the military’s latest innovation in its rivalry with the Taliban for the populace’s loyalty. Afghan women are viewed as good intelligence sources, and more open to the basics of the military’s hearts-and-minds effort — hygiene, education and an end to the violence.

“It’s part of the effort to show we’re sensitive to local culture,” said Capt. Jennifer Gregoire, of East Strasburg, Pennsylvania. She leads the Female Engagement Team in the Now Zad Valley of Helmand province, the heartland of the Taliban insurgency.
