Personally I do not think there is any reason for you all to care if he burns a koran. Do you care if in the middle east if they burn bibles,American flags and other things American find offensive? Probably not. heck if someone here in the US wanted to burn bibles and christian groups were pissed you and others might make a thread how they are a bunch of crybabies who need to shut the **** up.
I agree. The muslims who are mad about this can **** off. They burn the American flag and find no issue with it ... so they have ZERO room to talk.

notice how you were inflamed at the sight of a burning American flag
why would you defend similarly inflaming the islamic population
Do you all care when they burn bibles, American flags and other things offensive to a lot of Americans? No?
They do not care if they inflame us and I am pretty sure many Americans who are bitching about the pastor's plan of burning korans do not care if they inflame us. And I am pretty sure that a lot of those people bitching about the koran burnings supported the media when they decided to show the Abu Ghurayb prison abuse photos.
What if they burned a stack of Korans, but there were no news cameras or reporters present?
And how did 'Vincent" vote 57 times?
Bonfire of the Insanities - HUMAN EVENTSIn response to Gen David Petraeus' denunciation of Florida pastor Terry Jones' right to engage in a symbolic protest of the 9/11 attacks by burning copies of the Quran this Sept. 11, President Obama said: "Let me be clear: As a citizen, and as president, I believe that members of the Dove World Outreach Center have the same right to freedom of speech and religion as anyone else in this country."
Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida lauded Obama's remarks, saying America is "a place where you're supposed to be able to practice your religion without the government telling you you can't."

It is so infuriating how everyone was speaking for the Ground Zero Mosque a few days ago, despite it enraging so many Americans, but now that some tiny church wants to toast a some korans in their parking lot, everyone is saying how horrible it is and it's morally wrong, blah blah.
I say roast the korans. Muslims need to learn that they don't have any special privileges. They need to learn that people are going to do things offensive to their religion, and they have to suck it up without throwing a hissy fit. After all, the military burned Bibles--did Christians riot or murder people?
Military burns unsolicited Bibles sent to Afghanistan - CNN.com
No. We were like, "Waahh! You should've mailed them back!"
If any muslims do riot and/or kill people because they're so 'offended', they were already radical, potential terrorists.
anyone else notice a trend - the political "lean" - of those who defend the burning of the koran and a reasonable act
our military leaders (and the commander-in-chief) tell us that this type of action only serves to aid the recruitment efforts of our enemy al qaedaYep, and it's no surprise.

Thread: Does Anyone Think Burn a Koran Day is a Good Idea?
A majority say "yes" ??
This speaks poorly for the responders...and maybe our nation.
In anger, in the past, I have agreed to this nutsy/evil idea....
But, here, I suspect an influx of tea-party trolls, or just children trying to make trouble..

Yeah, like that's gonna happen. Have you turned on your television lately?We as a nation should take the high road here.
Yeah -- it's just the mirror image of the political "lean" of all those who not only supported the constitutional right to build a mosque at ground zero, but supported the "in your face" gesture it represents.
Two sides of the same coin.......
We as a nation should take the high road here.
meh, the high road is over-rated. all it does is make you look weak in the eyes of your enemy and encourage them to continue to attack you.
Cue the "the Constitution isn't a suicide pact" excuse in 3 ... 2 ...True. We should just throw out that silly constitution and bill of rights while we're at it. They're just so inconvenient at times, when what we really want to do is torture someone.
