"The burning is not only an insult to the holy Quran, but an insult to Islam and Muslims around the world,"

David, there is one problem. It is called the First Amendment to the US Constitution. If burning a US flag is protected free speech, burning the vile words of a pedophile pirate certainly is, too.

Laugh.
Aren't we fighting the Taleban because they do evil, rotten things?
So if we don't burn the Quran, they'll be nicer to us?
This guy is/was leading our troops in battle? Are you serious?
They're building a mosque at Ground Zero and we're worried about their feelings?????????
In the face of this overwhelming stupidity, why am I unemployed???????????????????????????????????

""We know this is not just the decision of a church. It is the decision of the president and the entire United States," said Abdul Shakoor, an 18-year-old high school student who said he joined the protest after hearing neighborhood gossip... about the Quran burning."
What's wrong with this picture?
We still have the right to get wee-weed up and act stupidly, like flag burning, or burning the bible - or burning a Koran, or speaking out against infusion of Shari'a Law in the US legal system. Freedom and freedom of speech is a wonderful thing that the Taliban doesn't want or want to even understand. Gen Petraeus (who the left just recently called Gen Betray-us) is sworn to ensure WE keep our freedoms, and should not be acting to dilute them.
But "stupid" or "insensitive" is still a right (like building a mosque where the landing gear crashed from flight 93 after the "pilot" exclaimed Allahu Akbar). It seems the Taliban (and radical groups like it) are insulted that we even exist - no matter what we do - and some folks fall all over themselves kissing up to the likes of the Taliban.
You would think the folks that are supposed to defend our right to be free would take a different stand, but PC seems to trump the Bill of Rights sometimes.

With all due respect to the good General, political correctness is a much greater threat to our troops than Americans burning Korans in Florida. Jihadis bomb Christians as sport in that part of the world, but we mustn't antagonize the backwards, moon-god worshiping pedophiles, because it my interfere with our brilliant plan to make them love us and want democracy.
Screw winning hearts and minds. Buy them off or kill them off. It's the Afghan way.

Wonder if the liberals who cite the constitution to defend the 911 mosque will also defend the right to burn the quran? I am sick of the whole world kowtowing to Islam for any perceived slight. Let the chips fall where they may, then deal out any necessary punishment to radical muslims swiftly and harshly.

So,,,Are we supposed to do as they say, or tell them where to go?
Bowing to their demands is admitting defeat, and the beginning of succumbing to shariah law.

Why should Muslims blame all Christians for the irresponsible acts of a few? After all, we are not to blame all Muslims for the numerous unspeakable atrocities committed by a “few” Muslims.
