Oh sweet mother of God... They burned Bibles, didn't they?
Where's our General Patton when we need him?
A Florida pastor plans to burn Korans to generate some heat, and it certainly is.
Good on him.
The Rev. Terry Jones plans the Koran burn-up to mark the anniversary of 9/11.
And no less than U.S. Army General David H. Petraeus, commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan apparently has gone flaccid, saying the burning books could endanger the lives of U.S. troops.
Gen. Petraeus said he is "very concerned" about possible repercussions of the pastor's actions.
"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort in Afghanistan. It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community."What the heck kind of talk is that? Isn't our military trained to do exactly that -- fight the bad guys? Maybe lighting the Korans on fire will draw these miserable "peaceful religionists" out of their caves and out from under their slimy rocks so we can pick off each and every one of them and send them to their 73 virigins (I threw in an extra one for good measure).
Gen. Petraeus ought to be showing more brass ones than he's wearing on his shoulder.
He's a trained killer leading trained killers who kill criminals that threaten to blow up and burn down our cities. They're wearing Kevlar, not knee pads.
We're fighting an enemy that is determined to conquer us, regardless of what the alleged president Muslim Obumbler wants to call it. Look around you -- cities all over the world are ablaze, set by adherents of the "religion of peace" and yet we are appeasing them? They want to build a freaking "mosque" at the place their own demons plowed into our buildings, killing 3,000 Americans? And we're going to let them?
What is wrong with us? It puts our troops in harm's way? That's what they do! Go into harm's way to defend and protect us. What the hell is wrong with these people? Now we're being cowed into not burning a book? When they burn our bibles, step and crap on our flag, behead our fellow citizens and bomb our buildings? Whip and stone their women, chop off hands, break spines, and commit all manner of atrocities? And we're worried about burning their "How To" manual?
Petraeus, Obama, and all the other Bloomberg idiots talk to us like we're already slaves. Are we? Are we slaves? Are we going to continue letting them dictate what we will do?
At what point do we say NO? NO MORE! NOT ON OUR WATCH!
More than burning Korans, what's really endangering our troops? The Pentagon bureaucrats' Rules of Engagement that have hampered our warriors' ability to kill the enemy. Perhaps Petraeus should expend his energy on killing the jihadist "religion of peaceniks" instead of worrying that burning their Koran will make it worse for our troops.
“Burning copies of Mein Kampf will only further inflame German passions and make their troops treat our prisoners badly.” General Paintywaist, 1943
OK.
But I was talking about burning books. Any book. About anything.
Stifling ideas is not the way to get your point across. A better way would be to use their ideas against them.
Books are wonderful, beautiful things. Even bad books.
This pastor is basically acting like a troll.
*********************************************
He’s trolling for radical true believers ... The FBI/CIA and other groups will pick up huge amounts of intel and chatter now and in the coming months because of this.. The pastor is doing us a favor in the end.

I agree , but burning a book , of which there are probably a billion copies does nothing to stifle the hatred that is Islam, rather than wallow in their sewer I would say that it appears to be time to take out the garbage.
No books have been burned, yet there are riots in Muslim countries as the simple suggestion that Korans might be burned.
The point is not burning a book full of lies.
The point is that Muslims insist on things being done their way, or they threaten violence. Sensible parents don’t accept that sort of behaviour in their two year-olds. Why should the world accept it in Muslims?
Oh, and as far as I could glean from Gen. Patton’s comments, he may not have thought much of Islam, but he didn’t say anything about burning the Koran.
*************************************************
Patton was fighting the AXIS , the Arabs/Moose limbs were aligned with Germany ,, they absolutely were thrilled with killing all the Jews ,, they were an “easy sell” for Hitler... Of course Patton couldn’t care less about book burning , the koran was just “opposition research” to him ,, he was engaged in warfare against them. Why burn someones books when you can send a division of tanks after them with air support.
I don’t know if you know this, but during WWI there were lynchings of Germans, to say the least about WWII treatment of the Japs.
” but I do not look for much tolerance for any excuses made for the killers,”
I sincerely believe that if the Muzzies pull one more thing on our soil, that the MSM and entertainemnt industry will also feel the wrath of the citizenry. This controversy shows that there are many Americans itching to lash out. the Muslims here have been spoiled by our indulgence and the enabling of the hippies.
It’s a great movie.
