Sure it is...but only in America. The rest of the world can do whatever the hell it wants....
Anyone who condemns this country over the actions of 20 people are our enemies anyway. We are just flushing them out.
Gee, do you suppose they’re saying this because the Vatican is the largest Christian target in the world?
The Vatican office responsible for relations with Islam issued a stern statement saying every religion has the right to expect that its sacred books, places of worship and symbols will be respected and protected.
********************************************************
No they don’t! Islam is a plague on the earth. A cancer that has metastasized and is destroying everything in it’s path bit by bit. Whoever is running the Vatican office responsible for relations with islam is an idiot.
burn baby burn. Tell those libtards that America is free and they will hate you. The libtards advocate burning the flag but fear burning the koran? They are morons. Burn them if for no other reason than to show the fanatics in the Islamic world that we do not fear them.
The Vatican does not need to take a position on the Ground Zero Mosque. And I’m sure if it did, it’s position would be similar to the Koran burning issue.
And for you taking the Pope seriously, the Church has reached out to the Saudis to help build a church in Saudi Arabia.

Also, there are many churches in Middle-east. I spent a good amount of time in Dubai, Kuwait and Bahrain and attend several churches, which incidentally were first built in the 70s. With the exception of Saudi Arabia, ALL arab countries have and allow all kinds of churches.
I don’t mean to sound like an apologist for the Saudis, but since they consider Saudi Arabia the home of Islam, building a church in Saudi Arabia is akin to building a mosque in the Vatican - not going to happen and rightly so.
I know it’s fashionably in some sections of Freeperland to constantly spew anti-Catholic bigotry, but a little research always helps...
Why don't you explain that to this Jew who lived through World War II?
A Question of Judgment: Pius XII & the Jews
"What is the case for him [Pope Pius XII]? That in relation to the insane behavior of the Nazis, from overlords to self-styled cogs like Eichmann, he did everything humanly possible to save lives and alleviate suffering among the Jews; that a formal statement would have provoked the Nazis to brutal retaliation, and would substantially have thwarted further Catholic action on behalf of Jews. To the Sacred College of Cardinals Pius XII wrote on June 2, 1943: 'Every word that We addressed to the responsible authorities and every one of Our public declarations had to be seriously weighed and considered in the interest of the persecuted themselves in order not to make their situation unwittingly even more difficult and unbearable.'"
I think they should make 30 foot high models of the twin towers out of copies of the Koran and burn it.
Please don't be judgmental of cultural differences and practices which may be different than than your own.
Celebrate diversity!
Yep...in 1959.
If Muslims have the right to build their Mosque at ground zero- as Obambi pointed out... then the Pastor has the right to burn the Koran.
Both are freedoms under the Constitution.
This is pure unadulterated bullsh*t.
The Vatican is simply distancing themselves...our of cowardice.
And IMO, the same thing can be said about Petraeus.
We should DARE Muslims in war zones to demonstrate against our display of FREE SPEECH. Gravitate toward violence, and you will be killed.
We could use a better frontman in defending the West against Islam, a role the Catholic Church had historically done but, due to internal weaknesses and muddled post-V2 thinking, has abdicated that role.

What would Patton do? Why is our military being commanded by someone who is afraid of the enemy?
“As for me and my house, we will follow Pope Benedict XVI.
He said this:“ Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”
Burn the Quran?.....So what?
Or at least keep his mouth shut, and not give them even more publicity.
“Libs took over Vatican too.”
Libs take over any organization where it is hard to quantify the quality of the product: churches, schools, governmnet, big businesses.
A periodic massive housecleaning is order.
I completely agree that this church has every right to burn the Koran. I don’t think it is wise however. There will be backlash not only for our military but for Americans and especially Christians worldwide. All this so some “pastor” can have his 15 minutes.
